Happy Valentine's all you Sweethearts out there!
Just as promised, I'm back all decked out in hearts and pink and all that other Valentine's themed jazz for this love-full week. Actually - not really. What I mean is that I didn't' intend to walk out of the house dressed like one of Cupid's street squaders....er, kind of actually like Mrs. Claus when I threw on Amanda's lovely little pinky-red vintage shift dress but truth be told, I'm totally fine with that :-)
Miss Salvaged Strawberry herself, sent this perfectly mod beauty of a dress over my way for our monthly Thread Share. Being so cold as it was - (isn't that the complaint these days?) - I didn't shy away from wearing layer upon layer even if it bulked this 5'2 petite gal up like a linebacker (I exaggerate). I was cozy and warm and that's truly all that matters these days, right?
Yet again, Amanda and I styled the dress up so similarly - funny how that always seems to happen?! Red and black and patterned tights were the name of the game for us. Take a leap over here to see more from her remix.
So before signing off - I wish you one loverly loverly heart filled day. My internet presence has been a little sparse this week as I prepare to take a team of teenagers to compete in a drama competition this weekend, but I do hope to catch up with you all soon! As for tonight - the Mr. and I will be celebrating over dinner with one another - though I do believe that love should be celebrated in small ways each and every day :-). Cheers to just that!
Love bunches darlings,
Thanks so much for your comment, it means a lot!

Sorry I didn't reply to your comment sooner. I am never sure what the etiquette is - do I reply on my own blog or on yours?
ReplyDeleteAnyway there is kind of a sweet story about how I found out about my synesthaesia. My boyfriend was telling me about it when we first met because he was fascinated by it and I was like 'oh it's like how everyone has colours they link to words' and he was like 'aaaaah! You have synesthaesia! Let me glomp you because I think it is teh coolest' or something like that. :) Anyway I had never realised it wasnt normal because it is stuff in my head so I thought other people see colours in their mind in the same way. Hope that was interesting for you.
Also - I do love those heart print tights!
Those tights and the sweater look so great on you!
ReplyDeleteIts such a vintage chic look (:
Love your blog Marisa!
Have a superchic day xx
Kisses from LA,
