What I’m Wearing
* Vintage floral dress …I have literally had this dress forever. I love it. I got it at a thrift shop 100 years ago and every time I wear it, it reminds me of Italy. I don’t know why.
* Guess buckle heels …seen here last …I was going to wear my Calvin Klein platform pumps which gave it more of a classic retro feel but I wanted to wear this necklace which I felt only worked with these shoes. A bit more modern. However, I may like the other shoes better.
* House of Harlow necklace …from bloomingdales.com
* Tom Ford “Yvette” sunglasses
Oh it was so hard to leave the house this morning. It was a little darker, a little cooler and I just wanted to crawl back in bed and cuddle with my husband.
And …really, it’s so nice to be able to say that …not only here but to him. I was quite traumatized by my ex whose idea of love meant never saying “I love you”. He always said if you say it too much it loses it’s value. But that is just not true …and really about the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.

OHHHHH SEXY FLORAL!

Yes, it does look very Euro-retro, doesn’t it? 🙂 LUV. I have a couple dresses like that, and I love ’em!
And I COMPLETELY agree – saying “I love you” every chance you get is SO important.
Milly

and about the EX..please..it is ridiculous…i say i love you to my hubz as much as i can and so does he

I still get chills every time my boyfriend says I love you. It has never, and I expect will never, lose it’s meaning. Good thing you dropped that turd!

One day I hope to be 1/16th as fierce as you.

I like that necklace a lot. A LOT!
Saying ‘I Love You” every second is EXACTLY the right thing to do. I am very happy YOU are happy. Your husband is one lucky man to have such a beautiful, sweet, lovely lady!

Brown Girl
Oh you look so beautiful in dresses but you always look fab! Your EX is a douche, guess that’s why he’s the EX. Ha!
Amanda Nicole
Those shoes are the perfect compliment to the retro dress, I think. And I totally had one of those exes. In fact, after living together for 2 years and still never having heard him say he loved me, or anything even close to it, he finally said it in an email – after I’d dumped him! Oy, the time we waste on these fools. I’m so glad to hear you’ve found someone snuggly!
Mrs. Priss
Very pretty! I think this dress-shoe combo is one of my favorites!
Penny
WoWza, that original piece you wrote was so brutally honest….and so wonderful:) I think we all have our moments in which we allow our power to be stripped down by others. The important thing is that you found the courage and strength to find yourself again…your power. I’m so glad you rose above those situations. Love your blog!
Penny
Oh darn, forgot to mention how great the dress looks:)
samantha ezra.
you look so good in that dress. not many people can pull of vintage floral but girrrrl, you look good!

A Balancing Act
My aunt used to wear those types of dresses all the time. She even had ones just like that but they were long. I remember admiring her and wondering just how long it would take for me to fit into her dresses…
LifestyleBohemia
The House of Harlow necklace looks awesome!
Wanderlusting
The jewel shades of the flowers – plus the cut – are VERY Italian.
You are on the right track, sexy!
PS love the shoes too, as always x0x0x0
Kellie
So cute! I love that necklace too!
And I agree, you can never say it too much. I never get tired of hearing it!
J.
Such a great dress! I love the storey behind it too (it being a staple in your wardrobe for so long and all, I mean…)
Miss Anne

sorry to go all stalker on you… working late. by myself. and for some reason, that tag jumped out at me. god only knows why.

amoramor
I totally agree with you Maegan…
my boyfriend used to say that on the beggining too, and it makes me little sad but now he is so cute and he has changed his thoughts about it =]
PS: beautiful dress =]
I would LOVE your opnion on my new post =]
...love Maegan
my skin looks totally retouched in that second photo …and actually, it isn’t …not that my skin is that silky smooth {ahha Zohan} …but that the camera did something funky with it today. funny.
amoramor

It’s the way the dress hangs that makes it so “italian”. Effortless sexy.
Cute Hubby & I tell each other “I love you” a bajillion times a day. It means something every time.
Watkins Wackiness
