Happy V-Day, my dear friends, readers and fellow bloggers! You're all special to me and I wish you happiness and joy today and every day!
And now...a red dress.
 |
| Accurate colours - it's a RED dress! |
It is by Calvin Klein and I bought it in December 2011 at Winners for $59.99, and I have only worn it for two outfits (here), both on the same day! One look was casual and one more dressy.
This is my outfit for Tamera, The Menopausal Supermodel's e-Party for her birthday!
What do you think?
Red Dress (Calvin Klein): Outfit #1
L and I decided not to do anything for Valentine's this year - we went to the gym instead! Rather than being weak in the knees for my wonderful husband of nearly 16 years, I am weak in the arms, ha ha!

The stuff:
I also wore my new gold chain and leather wrist-wrap and my clock-hand earrings.
Here's a look at my tights, which you can see better in the outdoor stair shot:
Dress (Calvin Klein), shoes (Guess), obi/heart pin (Smoking Lily), earrings (Foxy), wrist-wrap (handmade).
I got a wonderful surprise in the mail today! I ordered one of Megan Mae's gorgeous tie-obis and it came today!
Check out the "lid" of the purse:
The neck of the purse expands!
Thank you so much for the wonderful belt and the beautiful gifts, Megan! I love them!
Someone wasn't very happy about me leaving to go to work this morning.

Gorgeous gorgeous red dress! Love the blue tights with it too. I'm glad you started doing your stair shots. The details come through best in those.
ReplyDeleteAlso Yay! I'm glad you like. I found the bag and it was just too quirky not to send to you.
Happy Valentine's Day, Sheila!~
Wow, love that red with the blue stockings! I never would have thought of that.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of Vizzini is a little scary. What do you feed her?
Schwing! the red frock ROCKS and I ADORE the tights combination!
ReplyDeleteMy Mama had a gold version of that handbag, I wish I knew what happened to it......XXX
Love the red dress - I wore a red dress for Valentine's day too! I really like the obi with yours, and the blue and black tights. That dress is a definite keeper :)
ReplyDeleteThe red dress, with you in it, is fantastic! We had a quiet V. Day too - at our favorite taco place it was almost empty. I think the young couples went to "romantic" dinners and left the good eatin' for us old married folks. : >
ReplyDeleteHey Vizzini, no shoes on the menu big boy!
You look amazing in the red dress!! LOVE it!! and what awesome goodies from Megan!!!
ReplyDeleteSo Vizzini likes flowers??? Our demon child Callie likes them, too. She'll eat the flowers right off leaving you stalks!
Awesome red dress!!! It's fantastic!! The belt looks great with it too.
ReplyDeleteFabulous bag from Megan too!
HI Sheila,
ReplyDeleteLove the red dress; its really figure flattering on you. The blue tights are so fun with it and I think you picked the perfect shade of blue so that they look like they belong with the dress.
BTW.....I always love the way you capture your kitty's expressions....
Love the dress, love the tights, love the belt, love the purse, love your blog, love your style, love our mutual friends. Oh, and I love you!
ReplyDeletePiękna jest ta czerwona sukienka i ta srebrna torebka:))Pozdrawiam
ReplyDeleteThe bag from Megan is soo odd and soo cool !
ReplyDeleteand that dress needs to get out more :)
I love the red dress. you got a great parcel in the post. lucyx
ReplyDeleteWe try not to make V-day a big deal... I disagree with the assertion that greeting card companies "invented" the holiday. Capitalized on it, yes, but definitely not invented. I think you and L did the exact right thing to celebrate your love... doing something together... but not making it an artificial or cliched event. We're super corny characters, so I made dynamite sticks out of packages of rolos with a note telling Scott that he's "Da Bomb!" and he gave me a bag of Swedish Berries, saying he loved me "berry berry much". We watched a movie, during which I fell asleep, and drank champagne only because his grandparents gave it to us... and it was such a small bottle we knew we would be able to finish it, AND go to work this morning!
ReplyDeleteThat red dress looks amazing on you! Love the pop of blue from the tights, too.
ReplyDeleteYou get such good light from your porch! Your tights made me think of dragonflies, such a great contrast with the RED of the dress. Happy V Day! I gave a card to my DH, but also sent a few cards and texts to the other special people in my life (note-I am not a bigamist).
ReplyDeleteThe red dress is beautiful, definitely a keeper! And it looks so good with the blue/fishnet tights.
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts from Megan, and ahhh, flowers! xxxx
This red dress is exquisite. I think I've voted for to keep it twice :)
ReplyDeleteI am sending Megan Mae a bunch I've ties I've thrifted for her shop, and a fantastic fish tie to make into an obi belt for me. Must get to post office!
