gee's green dress

earlier this week i ordered this gorgeous dress from gee [of sock monkey & gee, and if you've never heard of her, please click HERE and check out her beautiful blog!] it feels a bit risky ordering used clothing from someone you've never met, but i had ordered another dress from gee months ago, which fits wonderfully, and i had been drooling over this dress for a long time, so i took the plunge - and i am SO happy i did! it fits like a dream, the fabric is so nice and the color is amazing.

i love it so much, that i even had the courage to take pictures without a cardigan covering my short, chubby arms! [i never do that, haha.]

so because i love gee's green dress [seen on her here!] and gee's lovely blog SO darn much, i'm sending her a great big air kiss..

from winter straight to summer

i'm really not that grumpy. i've yet to find a natural expression that's somewhere in between "angry" and "goofy" :) working on it!

hooray for a bit of sun! though it feels like we missed spring and jumped right into summer. cold and rainy one week and hot, humid and sunny the next! i'm not complaining too much though, the sun feels good..

it was nice to take pictures outside again. isn't the transition from cool weather clothes to summery clothes awkard? it feels so weird to have bare legs (can you notice mine are slightly sunburned already, with my pink kneecaps? ha..) but somehow when fall rolls around, it feels weird to be covered again. i usually dread the winter to summer transition, as i'm pretty shy about showing skin, but i'm trying to embrace it this summer. i bought a skirt and a pair of shorts at target this morning, and was pleased pink to find that i've gone down two sizes since january!

this outfit was somewhat inspired by this outfit that the lovely kerri from "old lady chic" wore recently. (love her blog!) i love how blues and golds look together, and was pretty pleased with how i felt wearing this little comfortable ensemble as i ran around doing errands today. also, i'm wearing my beloved, new madden girl wedges! i loooooove them! they make me tall, hee hee!
