Such nice stuff....I want everything. I really love the dresses. I just find dresses so much cooler in the summer, and some of them seem so much easier to dress up with accessories.. I can see that I will be spending more $$ than I planned on spending. Some things never change.

I bought some flats last night at Target. Told myself wouldn't but did anyway.

But first I like this dress but it most likely won't flatter me.

Mossimo® Women's Multi Style Convertible Maxi Dress - Blue : Target

Here are the shoes:

Women's Xhilaration® Singne D'Orsay Flats - Floral : Target
Women's Mossimo Supply Co. Othelia Braided Flat Sandals - Black : Target
Women's Mossimo Supply Co. Othelia Braided Flat Sandals - Natural : Target

I have these in black and brown but they don't fit that welll & aren't that comfortable, but will probably buy more of:
Women's Dolce Vita for Target® Rope Wedge Sandals - Cognac : Target

I am updating things I already have since I am not finding as much that fits being a 40 year old size zero...... I can't decide if I'd rather have shorter dresses than long, and also haven't found new pants.

I have the floral sandals on today. I wouldn't normally wear floral sandals but they are black which is a great color for me.

The flats are cute. I love the wedge sandals with the rope soles--just don't ever get them wet...they'll weigh you down, and they take days to dry.

I bought a pair of Coral leather flats today just to hang around in, and a beautiful linen suit in a creamy-beige colour. I can't post a picture of the suite because it's not on the website but it has a really pretty jacket with ruching, and the skirt is quite long and flowy.

Ooh, I like those mystique sandals, also the wedges they have on their site! Are they a decent quality?

For some reason Boston Proper sends me catalogs constantly, though I have never purchased anything from them. What do you think of their quality and sizing?

And I can't wait to wear my Lilly Pulitzer Seamus dress! (http://www.thepinkdoormemphis.com/prodimg/R1087328.jpg - broken link)(although first I need to find a seamstress/tailor who can take it in because I've lost a bit of weight since I purchased it.)

Also waiting on a couple of dresses from Boston Proper:
Side-tie t-shirt dress*|*Boston Proper
Fabulous little black dress*|*Boston Proper

Received this maxi dress, but I need to exchange it for a smaller size:
Ocean getaway maxi dress*|*Boston Proper

Same deal with this sweater...it's too big, so I'm going to exchange it for a smaller size:
Sparkle me pink cardigan*|*Boston Proper


Other things on my list:
*white jeans (straight legs & skinnys)
*dress shorts
*more dresses!

The sandals are supposed to come today, so I'll keep you posted on the quality, but they did come highly recommended by a bunch girls on another msgbrd that I belong to. I love the looks of their sandals and the pairs I purchased were some of the first available in my size (12.) In past years, they've only made up to an 11...which killed me because I could only look and drool.


I've been getting the BP catalog for ages too. This was my first time ordering from them. I've only received 2 items from them so far and the quality isn't bad, but my expectations weren't high. I'd consider the stuff 1-2 season items, not long term. They definitely run large!!! (And I followed their sizing charts.) I ordered the sweater in a medium and it's big on me. At my size, there's no way in heck I should wear a small...in anything. LOL I'm supposed to be receiving another dress at the end of this week, so we'll see how that fits considering the other dress literally fell off of me.
