Inside the Lines

Today's dress is definitely memorable; I love how the black netting fits right over the floral pattern to create something wholly unique.

Dress: Trina Trina Turk Renita Bonded Floral Dress

The back is open, so it's definitely more casual than most of my work dresses, but I decided it was alright to wear today since I didn't have any formal meetings.

The dress is still available (and on sale) at 6pm, Amazon, Dillard's, and Revolve Clothing.

Sizing Advice: The dress fits true to size, but the straps are a little loose on me. I have narrow shoulders, though, and will probably end up getting the dress altered.

Shoes: Manolo Blahnik BB Patent Leather Pumps

These BB pumps have been so popular, especially with celebrities, that I think Manolo Blahnik made them in just about every color. I love how the hot pink hue of these pumps just sets the rest of the outfit afire. You could wear any brightly colored pump with this dress and it would work!

That's Who I Need...

This week, my sisters and I have been reminiscing about one of our favorite childhood movies: The Chipmunk Adventure. The songs from the movie have been stuck in my head for some weird reason. One of our favorite songs was always the one where the Chipettes sing about the importance of a mother. I bring this up in today's outfit post because my mom actually bought me this dress.

My mom is one of the most important people in my life. As I get older, and friends fade in and out of my life, my mom has remained a close confidante. I talk to her on the phone several times a week (usually), and try to see her and my dad at least twice a month. It's hard when life is so busy, but I hope my parents both know how much I love them, and how much they mean to me.

A few years ago, I almost took a job out of town. I'm so glad I didn't. I love being close to my parents and just a car ride away. They are my support system through everything. I may not agree with them on everything, but I know they are going to love me regardless of my politics, religion or any other controversial subject.
