Snakeskin Dress and Why I Am Jumping for Joy!
I don't want to jinx it but I seem to be back to regular programming here with a Friday post. Why am I jumping for joy these days? I'll let you in on a little secret, I am actually writing this on Saturday night, like five days before I am going to publish it! I am ahead of schedule for the first time in weeks!!!! Another reason, is that my cleaner returned after being away for a couple of months to visit her family and it just happen that those were the first two months of school starting up. Let's just say I missed her a LOT. When she cleans my house you guys, I have tears in my eyes. I've had the hardest time finding a cleaner that does a deep clean. I know I need the help but I am so OCD about house cleaning, that I would get so annoyed that I was cleaning after the cleaner. I couldn't justify not only spending out family money, but also our family time doing it over again. Anyway, this post just took a random turn into my obsession with house cleaning. What I wanted to say is that I am HAPPY to have her back in my life.
I am also happy to share the second piece of clothing that I ordered from RW & Co this fall. Last week I showed you a professional plaid blouse with the cutest ruffle details and slight balloon sleeves, see here. In that same order I got this snakeskin dress that I honestly didn't think I was going to keep but needed to boost my order to get free shipping. Once I slipped it on I immediately knew that it was staying put in my closet, even my husband and daughter said I should keep it. I love the little necktie detail, the loose fit, and the length of this dress. I added a skinny belt to cinch the waist and add some detail to the outfit. The dress gathers with a loose elastic int he middle so it really doesn't require the belt, I just prefect the look with it. This dress is perfect for work, night out with my book club gang, Thanksgiving dinner and into the holiday season. I also think if you have a low key wedding to attend, you could totally pull this dress off. I purchased the dress off for under $50 and it often goes on sale, you just might need to be patient. Their stuff runs true to size for me every time, I am pretty consistently a small in their clothing.
You look fabulous! The snakeskin dress and plaid coat go so well together!

Thanks so much. I am thrilled with both purchases.
DeleteGreat outfit! I love this print so much
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and your kind words.
DeleteThe dress is going to be such a versatile piece in your closet, great choice. I love that first picture! I dream of having someone do a deep clean in my house once a month. I might ask around in our neighborhood if something is really please with a cleaning lady.

This cleaner has changed my life, honestly. I am kind of a cleaner freak and having someone I trust allows me to let the little things go which has had a great effect on my relationships with the people who also live in this house, my family. Hahahaha.
DeleteI am just like you!! If I could jump that high...heck, jump period! Anytime I get a Tasty Tuesday post written on or before Tuesday, I am thrilled. Trying so very hard to get a little ahead but today I wanted to have a book review up and it is still floating around in my head.
ReplyDeleteNow, let's talk about your darling dress. Love the look of the tights with the booties being monochromatic and teaming up with that cute snakeskin print. Super cute. Not sure where you took these pictures but the color in the backdrop behind you is perfect!!
Thanks so much Leslie! It's funny because the pictures were taking at a church by my daughters dance studio and I was in such a rush to get the last bits of daylight and it was cold and windy. Hahahaha. Sometimes not over thinking is the best idea.
DeleteBo, this dress is amazing! And I absolutely love it paired with that gorgeous plaid coat! Brilliant! And I get super excited, too, when I can actually get ahead of my blog posts. It is a rarity when it happens, so it is totally worthy of a celebration! I am so glad that you have found a cleaner worth your money! Thanks for sharing and linking up.

Thanks for always hosting the link-up, you definitely make it look easy in a lot of ways but I totally get that it's not.
DeleteAw, Bo, I am flattered that you think I make it look easy! That is actually a huge compliment and I much appreciate it! Thanks for validating me!

Such a cute dress on you! it looks so nice belted too! I think snake print is always a classic, you're sure to get a lot of wear from this!
ReplyDeleteI like that you're ahead with blogging too! With two little ones, if I didn't write posts in advance I'd never have time to get anything posted when I wanted to, haha!
Thank you so much for joining the #weekdayWearLinkUp :) I just posted this week's linkup, I'd love you to join again! :)
Hope that you had a great weekend :) We had a relaxing one, we went to the beach and spent time with family :)
Away From Blue
I was ahead and now once again, I have fallen behind. Hahaha. Short lived right? Oh well, it's just the ebs and flows of real life. I am also loving the snakeskin which I wasn't sure I would as I am terrified of snakes and it took me a while to be able to even just look at the pattern. LOL.
DeleteSnakeskin print is undoubtedly the trend of the year. This fall you are going to witness fearless-looking women.
