All Dressed in Yellow

Daisy, Daisy... You know how the song goes! This butter yellow dress, combined with my daisy pumps, are just the perfect anecdote to working on a day when many people have off.

I have never had Martin Luther King Day off in my entire career! But that's ok... I accomplished so much today.

Dress: Shoshanna Lemon Yellow Bengaline Pleated Demi Dress

Here is a strapless version of the dress available in pink on Amazon.com.

I think I've mentioned on this blog before that I am really not a fan of myself in yellow due to my olive skin tone, but lately, I seem to be having a change of heart. Plus, it's fun pairing yellow with my amethyst jewelry. I just love yellow and purple together. I even have a hint of purple eyeshadow on my lids.

Shoes: Giuseppe Zanotti Daisy Pumps (no longer available)

On Lips: Dior Addict Fluid Stick in Trompre L'Oeil


Even though I didn't have a long weekend like many other people, I still had a very nice weekend. I spent some time with my parents on Saturday afternoon, and Chapin and I stayed in on Saturday night. We watched Trainwreck and ate takeout Indian food from Urban Spice. Lately, that's really what I prefer to do... just cuddle at home with my husband and my dogs. Who wants to go outside when it's so cold?!

I have actually been feeling pretty sad lately. This Friday, January 22nd, will be one year since we lost George, and I just can't seem to stop thinking about him. I just miss him so much. I'm realizing that the bond we had was very rare, and though I love Wally and Norman and would do anything for them, it's just not the same.
