Oh this dress, yes this dress! It's not too often on here that I speak so very specifically about what I am wearing - but this little velvet dress had me all kinds of smitten.  I guess that's why I love swapping clothes so much - it's all for getting my hands on pieces like this.  You see, this dress belongs to my fella Flock Together gal, Jenna of Smitten and it was truly one that I did not want to send onto the next gal.  It's a curvy girl's dream of a dress and to be very truthful, the Mr. practically begged me to beg Jenna to offer to buy it from her.  Too bad I'm incredibly bashful and would never in a million years ask - because why would anyone ever want to sell a Red Velvetly smothered dress like this one?  But um, seriously Jenna, if you ever tire of wearing this beauty, you know who to call. ;-)

As for this week - well I'm taking it easy.  I spent all last weekend painting my living room and then left for a conference in Hershey...so this mama is wiped!  Right now all I want to do is curl up with a mug of hot chocolate and grab the remote because Chuck has finally been added to Netflix and I'm all for a marathon!  Was anyone else into this show when it aired?  Anyhoo, that's about all.  Have one happy hump day darlings!

Love Bunches,

    So so cute! Your velvet dress is wonderful. I think those tights are the perfect color to pair with it. The feather detailing on the back of them is so pretty too.

    The dress looks perfect on you. I would never have thought about those colour tights but they work incredibly well, and the feather backseam is fabulous. Somehow the shoes bring it all together too. Of course, I also love the crown - who wouldn't?! Kx

    This is so dreamy! I never would have thought to pair it with the peacock tights, but it works so well! I might just have to invest in a velvet dress this season.

    Omg. It looks incredible on you! I've been eyeing this dress since I saw it in Jenna's swap album, and I was afraid it'd be too small on me... but I might have to ask her if I can borrow it... I absolutely love the styling here. The tights, crown and ring are just gorgeous. And that low back! I can see why your hubby wanted you to keep it! :)
