First time I have gone out with exposed arms in a VERY long time. This dress is extremely daring for me. I was very self conscious the entire time we were in public. Between the exposed arms and very short skirt I feared I looked like a hot mess. Seeing the pictures sadly only added to my fears, not dissuade them. We were only out an hour which is good because I might of freaked out and bought an outfit if it was much longer. Baby steps.
I passed a girl in the same dress. I think that must be common in Forever 21 items which I am new to.
The other day on the Coveted I saw a thing about wearing 5 nail polishes in varying hues of the same color. I tried it with some I had at home and it wasn't right.
So then I bought these 5 at Target and tried it again.

The one of my middle finger looked more purple in the bottle. I really like the outcome but next time I will put the one on my thumb on my middle finger and a darker purple on the thumb (eliminating the very blue tinted one all together) I have worn one nail a different color for years but I really like this effect. Its fun without being "Omg I am 16 and so cool and look how funky I can be" I will say it takes lots of patience. 5 open bottles of polish one coat at a time. (Always start with your pinky that way you aren't painting over your other nails and smudging them. mime it and you will get what I mean) I did spill one bottle on the hardwood floors. Luckily I have a fast acting husband who is used to me doing things like that.
We spent our Saturday sleeping almost until noon. Eating a crepes with baked apples and bacon with mustard and brown sugar breakfast. (dave made) Watching Coraline for 2o mintues in 3D then switching over to 2D because we both were feeling nauseaus and napping for two hours in front of a fan. Then we hit the Italian Saints festival for kettle corn and Pina Coladas, then I played in a fountain.
What did you do on this lovely Saturday?

Also, I thought/think you looked great. Pale skin does show up a bit more flat on film, giving the appearance of "bigger" but it's an unfortunate optical delusion.
Besides, it's the summer and it's hot and I guarantee you no one thought you looked out of place, just very pretty.
I know, I know, though--it's difficult to expose that part of ourselves that we are nervous about showing, but I'll say once and for all that your figure and skin look damn good exposed in the broad daylight. And that dress is super cute!
This Saturday I lounged around in the backyard gardening and reading and then we grilled jerk pork for friends that came over. Then we all fell asleep in the living room watching stand up comedy!
(and in the backyard, I wore a blousy tube top, and I was feeling mighty naked, but then got over it after a cocktails!)
And I love the sandals, too.
