Not so creative


All remixed except shoes
Dress: Banana Republic
Cami: Target
Shoes: Nine West
Bracelet: Vietnam
Earrings: Target

I apologize for the picture quality. I took these pictures myself with the old clunker of a camera we're using until the new one is repaired and it's not so conducive to self portraiture without a tripod. Yeah, I don't use a tripod when I take my own pictures. Crazy, I know.


I've worn this dress with this cami before on the blog. I was not feeling too creative this morning. Or rather, all my experiments didn't work as well as I wanted, so I went with an old favorite because I was getting frustrated and had an insanely busy day ahead. I volunteered this morning, started my part time job, and then had dinner with a couple from our church and talked Costa Rica and Haiti (they're on their way there soon). So anyway, I considered it a feat to get dressed today, even if I wasn't terribly creative.


I mixed it up a bit with these neon yellow snakeskin pumps, though. Yellow and fuchsia totally go, right? Anyway, about these pumps: these are the shoes I wore for our wedding in December. I'd gotten them from B. for my birthday six months before that, so they weren't new-new on our wedding day, but I was NOT interested in buying a pair of white shoes that I was never going to wear again. And I love yellow shoes and snakeskin and the fact that B. had picked them out for me. These are some great shoes.

  4. Thanks y'all. I do love this dress, and it does the job. I just feel like a cheater when I post a dress. ;)

    @ Liz: I haven't actually posted pictures. I'll have to do that sometime.

    @ Chantele: I should have my machine issues figured out soon. *Crossing fingers*

  5. Oh yes, I think your colors definitely go. I love them together, anyway.

    I hate it when the outfits I try aren't working out, which is why I keep telling myself to figure them out the night before and avoid morning panic!

  7. Those are some crazy fabulous heels!!! Love them. Love them a LOT. Those are the exact yellow closed-toe shoes that I've been looking for!

    Yellow is the perfect accent color to the fuchsia dress. You look gorgeous!
