I don’t remember what it’s like to not have to wear a minimum of three layers.  It was literally so hot when we took these photos in Kauai that I could barely get this dress on.  I actually couldn’t wear my hair down because it would stick to my arms.  And now, it’s below zero – ohhhh winter, how you toy with us.  I have admittedly also hesitated to post these pics because I felt like they were maybe too revealing.  Then I saw Kim K’s glazed donut bum all over my Facebook page and I was like pffft who cares about a little shoulder?

So the story behind this citrus dress is that I desperately wanted something bombshell to wear to my friend’s wedding in the summer.  This BCBG stunner was on sale and exactly the impulse purchase I needed to make.  At the wedding, I noticed a woman wearing something that looked familiar, only to realize that it was my exact dress, but in coral.  I did the old “nice dress” with a wink and a gun and we had a laugh.  Then, she said, “Why are you wearing a mother of the bride dress?” and I stared at her with a blank expression.  WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?  Do I look like a mom in this?  Because pretty sure my cab driver asked me if I was old enough to have a driver’s license a few weeks ago.  Life is so confusing.  Anyway, I still love this green dress and was happy that even though I couldn’t move, due to overheating, it was still nice to get another wear out of it in Kauai.
