No Outfit of the Day, But How About a Blast from the Past (Featuring the Emma Peacock Dress)...

My poor, poor CW. She has a fever of 101.4. (HeidiG., I was able to get it...finally!)

I had planned on going out with HeidiG. and have an awesome morning, but my little one wasn't having any of that. When I woke up this morning, she was hot to touch, so I said "no" to HeidiG. and stayed home.

Poor Rex, he LOVES going out. At least we got to play ball for a tiny bit in the backyard to sort of make up for it.

So no outfit of the day...comfort is key. The polyvore above shows what I am wearing (don't worry, no pictures, I wouldn't do that to you all).

Emma Peacock Dress for a Casual Day!!! by dinagideon featuring J Crew

Instead I will show off a long ago outfit that I wore back in November. I really liked this outfit. I had always wanted the Emma dress in the peacock print, but could never justify the costs, so I put it off. Well, Mr. Ebay spoke my name back during the spring, and I bought it (and for a lot less than it originally cost).


Dress: J. Crew, Peacock Print Emma Dress, Peacock blue, Size 10, Fall 2007.
Shoes: J. Crew, Jane Suede Flats, Brown, Size 10, Fall 2008.

Speaking of OLD dresses, I have four for sale over at Cash from My Closet.

Have a great day. I hope Baby CW sleeps the fever away (with the help of some baby tylenol--aka "liquid nap.")

Just a Little Time Off Works Wonders...

Spending time with CW...


And with Rex...


And fooling around in the car with the best brother in the entire world...

Thank you, everyone. I am back. :)

P.S. Anyone interested in a crewlet Sara Dress review? I think I could get that posted by tonight...
