Happy Monday ladies! I took a little break from the blog over the weekend. I had so much work and class work last week that I felt like I had been sitting in front of my computer for days on end. major overload. Does anyone else ever have that problem? anyways, took a cyber break and headed out into the real world all weekend and it was lovely! (not that I didn't miss all of you!) 
When I woke up on Saturday morning and headed out for my morning run I was shocked to find something that I hadn't expected to find in Tucson. Autumn weather! I know, gasp, right? It has been almost 100 every day here up until this weekend. We had a marvelous storm Friday night (nothing like some hot chocolate and lightening watching with your man) and upon venturing out Saturday morning, I discovered some crisp fall weather. YAY!
I decided to throw on this maxi that I picked up in LA a few months ago. It was this great all vintage boutique, that of course I am blanking on the name right now! Well, I have been dying to wear it and it was finally cool enough.
It has the best little detailing on it, with these cute ruffles at the collar that go all the way around the back, and the little puffy sleeves. I died when I saw it. The best part is that I'm not really wearing heels! Just my little boots. Usually with maxi dresses I am so short that I need HUGE heels.... but this dress is just petite enough. 
Since it was so nice out, I decided to get some pictures outside around my building. More fun this way! Ok well I can't wait to finish up work and be able to catch up on what some of my favorite fashionistas and bloggers were up to this weekend! and see all the fabulous outfits you were rockin of course!I have a few fun posts planned for this week. Tomorrow I'll post some pics from Tucson Oktoberfest with the hubby, and then stay tuned for a very special wedding post, and a health post Wednesday and Thursday! woo!
alright ladies, have a wonderful day.... and leave some love and let me know what you were up to over the weekend :)

so adorable. I wore a maxi this weekend too, yours of course is awesome! I am 5'2 so I always have to wear heels with everything I feel like or I just look stumpy.
ReplyDeleteI wish my building looked as interesting as yours does!!!
Don't you love the feeling of autumn weather? It is just so refreshing!

CUTE! Man, I've really been hoping the maxi trend would branch out a little. This is adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely adorable (like you always do)!! I never was a fan of the maxi dress, but seeing this dress on you is changing my mind BIG TIME! I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you had a great weekend! Mine was pretty good... I had a wedding on Saturday (I will be posting about that today) and just relaxed yesterday. Don't you just love Fall weather! :)

Great dress! Since I'm only 5'1" I've avoided the maxi dresses because I thought they'd make me look shorter, but you look long and lean in yours! I'm glad to hear autumn has hit you, it's definitely my favorite season in terms of both weather and the clothing.
ReplyDeleteWow, you simply cannot be any more GORGEOUS! This is perfect. I love love love....
