Our friends Xine and Dev do a big barbecue and party at their house every year for Dev's birthday - I wore this last year.
I was actually really tired from my walk to Weight Watchers and back (1 hour each way) Sat morning, and L and I went out for lunch and did some shopping, so I wore the same thing to the party as I did during the day:
Simple dress (with sleeves, remembering that I was cold at the party last year), plain thongs, big ol' belt. It felt comfy, although I could have used a jacket! Great party, though - good to see friends and some new people too!
Shout out to some of the cool women that I talked fashion (and other things) with, in case they find this blog: Margaret, Tracy, Fiona, Tara! Hi!
Dress (Vero Moda), cami (Esprit), shoes (Naturalizer, consignment), belt (Abercromie & Fitch, consignment), gold hoop earrings (gift from L).

The colors looks great on you. Great oufit for the party.
ReplyDeleteYou did some serious walking! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteVery cute shirtdress! You look *so* good in brown colors that are hard to pull off.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great outfit Sheila. That's interesting that you still go to Weight watcher's meetings. I am a lifetime member (I lost about eight-ten kilos using WW after Billie-Mae was born) but I've only gone to a couple of meetings over the past twenty years. It's obviously worked for you!
ReplyDeleteGreat coloring on you! I love a shirt dress. Just throw it on and go.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I've been looking for a sassy little plaid frock myself ...
ReplyDeleteNote to self: WALK to WW meetings when I finally join. You look great.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this dress! I've been craving plaid lately and can't find any that's not too crazy bright, but that's a great color.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hillary! It was very comfy.
ReplyDeleteWendy, you betcha!
Kari, thanks! I used to hate these colours when I was younger, but now I love them.
Sue, thank you! Yes, I absolutely go every week. I have a tendency to get complacent and fall into old habits. This way, I have accountability, and I can also be an inspiration for women who are just starting out, or are partway, through their journey!
Sher, thanks, me too!
Sal, gotta love a plaid dress!
Tina, if you can, walk everywhere! Thank you!
Erica, it would look great on you. It also came in a green/blue mix.
