Good Tuesday to you all!
My Monday was full of accomplishments, namely the cleaning out of son2's bedchambers!
Only two and half hours and 3 trash bags.(apparently he never heard of a garbage can)
I am happy to report there were no tears, pits in my stomach or sadness and malaise.
Speaking of the above, this is the outfit I wore the day after I dropped him off at school.
Hence, the shades to hide the red, swollen, tear filled eyes.
If you remember, I wore this little dress for the Katie Homes inspiration picture a couple of weeks ago.
Sorry Katie, but I like this look better than yours.
I love the way the leopard print belt just gives this dress a whole new vibe.
Add the statement necklace in vibrant red
and
you got yourself an outfit.
I might have worn red shoes with this if I had had any in my closet.
Sadly, I don't own one single pair of red shoes.
I might just have to remedy that.
Do you own a pair of red shoes?
What kind of shoes are they? (flats, wedges, pumps, etc)
dress-GAP
belt-Steinmart
necklace-EBay
sandals-Arturo Chiang
aviators-left behind by one of the sons

lovely dress! and that necklace is a very nice touch, I adore it.
Adding leopard to anything can make an outfit rock! Just like this striped dress :)
Can't go far wrong with a bit of leopard print, I reckon!
Love the necklace too, takes the dress in another direction from the ubiquitous nautical look.
Yes, I am the proud owner of 2.pairs of red shoes. I like to think they have the power to add a certain oomph to an outfit! Have some burgundy boots too, do they count? xx
I love that you remixed this dress - it's adorable! Adding the contrasting print and that great red necklace really changes the look up. And congratulations on getting the boy's room cleaned out. I bet it's strange having the empty space. Either way, definitely a good accomplishment. :)

The dress looks so adorable with the bubble necklace!
Awww..You are making progress Brett :) By the time they come back for thanksgiving and eat all the food, you'll be ready to send them back to univ.
A little leopard is perfect and really changes the look of the outfit.
nice job Brett!
Very NICE! The accessories definitely elevated this dress to a chic-dom. Is there such a word?
You'll begin to enjoy your empty nest-dom here pretty soon...I promise!
No idea why I'm making up words here... :D
Love this outfit and the post title! I don' have a pair of red shoes...but it's on my list.

Brett, this look is fab! I love the belt, and the necklace is a great color!
Surprisingly enough (due to the size of my shoe collection) I don't own one pair of red shoes but I would love to, still hunting for the right pair! Leopard and stripes is one of my fave combos and then throw in a red statement necklace, wowza now that's an outfit!
P.S. Just read where the aviators are from, hope they don't read your blog ;)
Such a cute look! Loving your dress and how you added the belt! Totally took it up a notch!

Hi Brett, this is a lovely, very simple chic outfit... the necklace, belt and sandals are the perfect accessories to the soft stripes! Plus you have fabulous legs sweetie :))

This dress is so cute. You look great and those legs!
The two teen girls, both 16, in my house have never heard of garbage cans either. I'll pro'bly hire a HazMat type company to clean out their room when they go to college :P
Love your stripes!
