Do you know that feeling when you've had such an incredible
night or even week of rest? It’s the sort of savvy slumber that people might call,
sleeping like a baby. Well, that lovely moment happened for both, me and the blog. But, it does feel good to be back!
Between having friends in town and a few family (FIFA14)
festivities it has been a very long week and weekend. I also managed to try out
some new recipes that I had saved, and table style settings (there’s a post possibly
coming up sometime soon) for inspiring concepts.
If you follow me on Instagram,
then you probably saw a snapshot of one of the new wall stencils that I recently bought. It was such a pleasing way to
liven up the art studio—swapping out two hanging photo frames for the fresh
wall art gave the space the style enhancement that was needed. 
But, on a day when I wasn't being a culinary enthusiast or an interior crafting aficionada I decided to wear this dress for our night out. A simple dinner date night on a summer evening it was, and I thought it was the perfect combination, given the two side slits on the dress. I deemed it to be more of an upgraded LBD for summer, and one that would be for diverse occasions.
What did you do this past weekend?
What a glamorous and sexy look! That sheer maxi is gorgeous! I love the floatiness of the skirt and the way it shows a hint of leg. I'm glad to see there are some of us who still dress up for dinner.
ReplyDeleteI love love love this maxi dress, I want something similar!!!

The dress looks wonderful. You're giving Kendall Jenner a run for her double slit maxi money. And I just took a look at the stencil--that's hot! I love it.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous combination of lbd with floaty maxi for dramatic swishing. I bet everyone noticed you entering the room - it's definitely an elegant statement of a dress.
ReplyDeleteYou looked beautiful Madison! What a gorgeous dress and I love how it is sheer at the bottom.
