Day Dressin'.

Hmm..what Spring saying hasn't been used to title a blog post in the last month or so? Every single time I post lately, I think "Spring Fling" "Spring Fever" "Spring Forward" "Spring in my Step" "Step into Spring" "Spring Special"...etc.

This dress is from Universal Studios and I ain't talking about the theme park. I'd like to think it was used in a film in the 60's. I am going to go ahead and think that so please don't burst my bubble, ok? :)

Well, here's what I wore to meet Gabe for lunch in Santa Monica. He's gone for a lot of hours in the day now since he has an amazing new job doing what he loves. Birdie and I miss him a lot (and everyday I'm all dressed up with no one to take my picture! I have months of outfits planned. Ohhh, poor me!). It was so nice to have lunch together in the warm sun!









Details
Dress: Vintage (will be in the store tomorrow)
Ballet flats: Filippa K
Purse: Vintage (in the store tomorrow)


Love you all and hello to those who found me through Rebecca's super fun interview. I got to plan out a dream party. You can read about it if ya want! :)

Ok, I'm off to take Birdie on a walk. Have a wonderful Friday.

XO Coury

    Wowsers! This dress on you is stunning! Seriously Coury, you look gorgeous.

    ps. My hubby just started as a volunteer firefighter, and I'm a wee bit mopey around the house when he's gone for days on shift. It's no fun having our lova's off at work while we sit around missing them! Alas, we must be proud wifeys. I'll keep you guys in my prayers and thoughts.

    I saw that interview post but I haven't had a chance to read it yet but plan to. I have seen you featured everywhere lately and that's really wonderful! Love all your clothes and this outfit i really love but I have a weakness for yellow.

    I read it now!
    Bobby Darin & Sandra Dee, Anne Shirley & Gilbert Blythe at a party would be amazing. I agree that I don't think Anne would be too comfortable in a dress that is not too modest for her time period at all. hehehehe. So cute. That was the best interview ever.
