Even in light of recent computer woes, my new iMac and I are getting along rather nicely. Still trying to work out in the kinks with Apple and MacAuthority to have my 250gb harddrive replaced in my MacBook Pro (Apple will only cover 160gb of it but hopefully MA will help me out!). I had a mini-breakdown yesterday about everything I lost but I pulled myself together and I'm making the most of it! I hate to be such a sap! Anyway- I'm ready to be posting some outfit photos from last week. It's good timing too because the weather in Nashville is such crap right now (Well, I love thunderstorms, but they're not very conducive to my blog. Neither is Mike's work schedule. sigh)
I wore this outfit out and about this weekend when Mike and I decided to head out for Mexican food. Las Palmas is a little mexican restaurant down Charlotte Pike and we were thoroughly impressed. They claim to have the best margaritas in town but I'm not much for those!
The dress was sent to me by ModCloth and I am in love! The print, fit, silhouette and length are perfect! So many dresses now are booty skimmers (and I stand tall at a staggering 5'2!) so when I opened this to see that it was of decent length to wear sans tights, I was elated. (And I really don't like to not wear tights. Yow!) Peep them pasty white legs! (You can also see a little mosquito giving me a big ol bite in one of them! Okay, enough parentheses!) Paired with my cork platforms, this is totally a 70's style number. The shoes are my Blowfish faves and I opted to go a rather controversial route with the lacy socks. I know oh so many are against the 90's childhood throwback but I wanted to try. And to be honest, I kind of like it. But hey, that's just me!
I wish the weather would cooperate with me a bit. I have so many errands to run today and the rain really isn't helping matters much! Either way, off I go! xo

ReplyDeleteYour sleeve is AMAZING...and this dress is awesome awesome awesome!!!!! I am also loving the combo of frilly ankle socks with chunky heels, very cute!
ReplyDeleteArgh! It's been so long since I have had good mexican food. There was a restaurant in Albany, GA my family and I use to always go to and I swear their mexican food was THE best. Sadly up here in Montana these people just suck at making Mexican. And I mean suck baaad. haha! Oh well..

So stinking cute! I love that pattern!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteYou look so cute! I really like the frilly little socks with the heels. :D
ReplyDeleteyou're completely justified to have breakdowns about your computer! I have had crashes before and lost so many pictures from my early college days, 21st birthday, graduation/prom, etc.

ReplyDeletePersonally, I love the frilly party socks with heels look Kaelah, and I think it looks great with your outfit!
I have actually been itching to try my own socks/heels combination for months now {I keep seeing it in Japanese fashion mags} so now is the time to jump right in!

ReplyDeleteJust had to share this with you. My 3 yr old little girl, who doesn't really comment on clothing at all, saw your 70s lady dress and said to me, "Wooooooooooooooooahh. Pretttttyyyyy." which was then repeated many times. :) Beautiful pics and beautiful dress.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit was made for you my dear! You look absolutely fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty.
