Threads - Blue Velvet >>>

Last saturday was my friend's wedding. I got all dressed and ready to go and even took my outfit pics, and then James came home from work sick that day, so we ended up not going. And by that evening is when my own sickies began, that Im still battling.  This was also the first outfit post with my new hair cut, I got bangs!  And I redid my color, its a little more dramatic that before.  Its been a while since Ive had bangs... I have a love/hate relationship with them.  One day I love them, one day I hate them.  But, they are easy to grow out so I took the chance.  Oh, and I even curled my hair!  *Sorry the image quality is so poor on these shots*

The Blue Velvet Dress

A little peek into my closet.  As if I dont have enough clothes already???  (this is just one corner of the closet.  Im the kind of girl that has kept certain clothes since I was 15.  Ive just recently been allowing myself to really clean out my closets and weed out the old to make room for the new.  One reason why I had my virtual yard sale a little while back.  And I may just have another one! 

So... yesterday Red Velvet launched their new dress line!  I remember last seasons line sold out so fast and at the time I was in no position to be buying a dress.  And Im really not now either, but I caved and splurged on this beauty below.  I could not choose between this one and the orange one, but I finally went with the blue b/c it reminds me of a pair of blue velvet pants I had when I was younger that my mom loved.  And I have NOTHING blue in my closet, not a color I normally like.  But in this velvet it is sooo dreamy.  I was frantic trying to decide whether or not I could even purchase it.  I knew these dresses would be gone soon and they are not remaking them.  And these are NOT dresses you will find on ebay a few months from now at half price.  No way.  I figure I will just have to work extra hard next week to make up for it!  And now I have a super special dress to wear on a date.  Wait whats a date?  I forgot.  Ill find somewhere to wear it!  I just wish my mom could see me in it, she would be over the moon.

Thank you Elsie and Mallory for making such beauties!!!  Im so excited!

PEACE,

Laura
