Tag Archives: Layering for Summer

LBD…for any occasion!

I almost didn’t post these pictures, because I totally messed up the focus and stood a crack in the side walk too close, but…whatever.

It was Charlie’s 16th birthday, and we’d had family over for dinnerCharlie got a remote control car from my parents, so we went out to play with it.  I’ll blame the excitement over the car for my standing in the wrong spot, and not the wine I had with dinner haha… 😉Blog Feel the Piece Dress Zara Lace Up Sandals-1 Blog Feel the Piece Dress Zara Lace Up Sandals-2It was hard to distract her from the car, but a good swing usually does it!

Nothing more classic than a little black dress, whether it’s a casual tank or little cocktail.  You can never go wrong!
