Rays the Roof for Sunshine: Say Yes to the Dress

Bag: Zulily

Necklaces and bangle: Simply Vera, Kohl's

Sunglasses: LC Lauren Conrad, Kohl's

Dress: LC Lauren Conrad, Kohl's

After having a baby, it's not easy to get back into the outfit blogging game.  Partly because free time activities must now be scrupulously scheduled, partly because when I'm not tending to Charlotte the husband is, and he's the photographer.  But last weekend, when we were at my parents' house, I asked my mom to take my picture.  I'd bought this dress when I was still pregnant, ignoring the voice in my head that said, lady, what are you doing?  Because I wasn't sure when or if I'd be able to wear it.  Still, dressing up is a big part of who I am, and buying it felt like self preservation.

Luckily, it fit perfectly, so I was glad I went for it!

I guess you can take the baby out of the lady but not the lady out of the babydoll dress.

Not that this dress is a babydoll.  But these days, my standards for wordplay are lower. 😏

Oh, so lovely and such great touches to make this outfit so special! You are looking fabulous!🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈💙💙💙💙💙💙🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am still amazed Ren & Wade made it to part 8 as a partner effort, but now I'm on my own with the story that I have been posting this July on the weekends. Still, I am having fun with these two characters and of course, an old bookstore is the backdrop.
