True Blue

Blue is one of my favorite colors, if not my very favorite color, so it's not really surprising that I own quite a few blue dresses. The dress today, from Cynthia Steffe, is a navy blue and black combo. With such a dark dress, I really debated my shoe choice. I could easily have worn any pair of black shoes, but I felt that would just be TOO dark, so I decided on my light gray L.A.M.B. Women's Quiana T-Strap Platform Sandals. In my head I could hear Michael Kors disparaging me for my "poor styling choices," but I decided to take a risk. Did it pay off? Leave your opinion in the comments.

Perfect Symmetry

I know I'm behind on all my blog posts, so I want to apologize. Tuesday I was not in the office, so here is my Wednesday outfit:

- Nanette Lepore Stella Dallas Black Multi Dress

- Purple Studio Pollini Platform Sandals

I like this dress because it is like a work of art. I have always loved pointillism (painting with dots), and one of my favorite paintings is Georges Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte. It was very exciting for me when Chapin and I saw the real thing at The Art Institute of Chicago in 2007. (We were there for Gail and Rich's wedding shower.) You may also remember Ferris and Cameron viewing this painting in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

The dress also reminds me of the poster for The Truman Show, which hung in my dorm room in college.

The dress looks very different up close than it does from farther away.

Rainy Days and Mondays

Although Saturday was beautiful (and hot) here in Atlanta, Sunday and Monday have been dreary and rainy - hence the title of today's blog and one of my favorite songs from The Carpenters.

With the temperatures more on par for this time of year, I decided to pull out one of my favorite Fall dresses: this BCBGMaxAzria color block dress. I am a fan of color block dresses in general, and I love that this one incorporates so many beautiful Fall colors.

I paired the dress with my black Stuart Weitzman peep toes and a chunky black necklace I received for Christmas a few years ago.

Even though it's off to a drizzly start, I think this will be a great week. Happy Monday!

I Will Remember You

Today marks eight months that we lost our Izzie. She was known in our household by a myriad of different names... Izzie Bear, Izzie Girl and Nini, among others. It's amazing to me how much I can still miss her after all this time. She was a part of our lives for just a short time, but she made such an impact on our hearts. We will never forget her.

As Halloween approaches, one of our most favorite holidays, I ask that you think of Izzie and all the light she brought to our lives. I know I will see her again one day, just like she was before she got sick.

Here is a picture of her from December 2007. You can see what a little butterball she was back then! Thanks for the pic, Laurin.

Working for the Weekend

It's finally Friday, and with no client meetings today, I can actually dress down a bit! It's too hot for jeans, so here I am in a lightweight, salmon colored sundress from Juicy Couture. This dress is another one in my wardrobe that has also been seen on a celebrity, and in this case, it's Jennifer Garner.

I paired the dress with my Stuart Weitzman Women's Conchita Wedge Sandals and camel BCBGMaxAzria over-sized purse.

As for jewelry, I m wearing my sapphire/ diamond earrings and sapphire/ diamond flower-shaped pendant. I think the blue and salmon colors complement each other beautifully.

Later today, the Meta Media, Inc. team will be celebrating our recent success with a team building outing to a nearby bowling alley. I have not bowled for real in quite a while - just on the Wii - but it's always so much fun. I am looking forward to this afternoon, and, of course, spending the weekend with Chapin and George. We have plans to walk over to the Midtown Arts Festival at some point tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be too hot to enjoy all the festivities.

Staring at the Sun

Although it is now officially Fall, the weather outside seems to disagree. Atlanta has been experiencing temperatures lately that indicate it is still, in fact, Summer. Today it will be in the low 90s. Hopefully relief will be coming soon!

Since the sunshine is here to stay, I am wearing a dress that has a sunshine-y personality all its own: the Leifsdottir Elysian Silk Dress. This dress is so colorful, and since I was not in a great mood this morning, I decided it would be good for me to wear it to help brighten my day. (See, George decided to wake me up before my alarm this morning, and I was so sleepy getting ready to workout that I almost curled up into a ball on the bath mat to go back to sleep. Seriously!)

I paired the dress with my gold BCBGMaxAzria Idil Heel Sandals and camel brown BCBGMaxAzria purse.

I am Superman...

I don't know if you've ever noticed, but all the titles of Grey's Anatomy episodes are also song titles. After yesterday's post, I thought I might try that myself for awhile and see how long I can go. I chose today's title because (a) I heard this REM song on the way to work, and (b) I am sort of dressed in the patriotic colors that Superman favors. I know it's a leap, but... just go with it.

Today I'm in a BCBGMaxAzria mult-colored dress of blue, red, brown and white. I paired the dress with my red Stuart Weitzman flats and red Nine West purse.

I also thought I would try something different, since I'm sure you are sick of seeing me in the same two poses all the time. So I got a chair for George to sit on so he could be next to me. This is the only picture out of the ten I took this morning where George is somewhat looking at the camera. I've also included another shot of just me that is nicely centered (that's for you, Chapin).

I know it's weird, but I really like this outfit because I have at least three pairs of shoes that go perfectly with it. Today I choose flats because my feet are still hurting after yesterday's heels.
