Red Dress Red Lips

 How do you like my cow sweater? Pretty moooooving, huh?
 I was watching New Girl, and Zooey Deschenel is such a cutie. In this particular episode, she was wearing a red dress that matched her lipstick. So I said to myself, "Self, you need to get a red dress that matches your lipstick. Then you will probably be as cute and charming as Ms. Deschenel." And follow my own advice I did. I found this cutie at American Eagle on sale, and it probably doesn't fit my teensy shoulders as well as it could, but damn if it didn't look cute in the dressing room mirror.
 I wish I had photographed it the first time I wore it, because I had a sparkly pin and it looked festive as could be.
 I hope you all had a good long weekend (unless you're in the real working world/don't work in a bank and didn't have MLK day off, in which case I hope you had a good normal weekend). I ate an entire pizza and 3 donuts. In my defense, it was over a couple sittings.
 dress: American Eagle
necklace: DIY
shoes: Modcloth
cardigan: Goodwill

  2. The red dress looks so good on you! The back is adorable it reminds me of one that I borrowed from Ashley :) Also the sweater is just too cute! I am a sucker for scenery sweaters, especially if they involve cute animals!

  6. Oh, I love the back of that dress. Also, I laughed aloud at your comment about "don't work in a bank." Both I and my parents are teachers and my boyfriend works with schools too, so we were all shocked that the rest of downtown was open for "Equality Day." (For some reason Wyoming calls it that instead of MLK Day. Supposedly for the fact we're the Equality State).

  10. This was from American Eagle! Surprise - I love it! I love having red dresses like Zooey in new girl too - I love the look on you. Your hair works with the look (pixie cut will never have me resemble Zooey Deschanel, but I am okay with that because I cannot handle long hair!)

    1. Yeah, I work there and their stuff is pretty hit or miss for me. But this one of course was a winner!
      I need to cut mine, it's getting hard to manage! I wish I could pull off a pixie!

  11. Haha I don't have cable at school, so I only watch reruns when I get home, but I'll be on the lookout for that one!
    And no problem, I enjoy your writing!
