The perfect dress(es)

I had this week off work and I didn't have much planned so I was really excited to spend some birthday money at Barefoot Contessa..

Even though I walked in hoping to buy one of their adorable winter coats, I fell in love with a couple dresses and couldn't imagine leaving the store without them (and the ring I wore to dinner on weds).

This first dress is going to be perfect through fall and winter. I have about a zillion ideas in my mind about how I want to style it so there is a good chance you'll be seeing it a lot.



Since it was my first time wearing it I really wanted to keep this look simple so the loveliness of the dress could be shown off. I love that it has long sleeves, a little bit of poof at the shoulders, pockets and of course I adore the colours.


Dress: Barefoot Contessa. Necklace: Banana Republic. Shoes: Aldo.

Don't you just love how the right dress can make you feel so gosh darn put together? I may have spent my birthday money in one day, but it was money well spent ;)

(and for those of you who have asked, I don't have my camera back. Mike has been lovely and taken pictures on his amazing camera whenever I've seen him. He's such a doll)
