Perfect Fall Dress for a Summer like Day!

Ann Taylor Plum Floral Dress, Size 4 (Ann Taylor Factory Store, $21)

Loft Yellow Resin Bracelet with Beetle Detail (Loft Outlet, $6)

Good morning!  As usual things have been chaotic lately!  On Saturday night, my daughter fell off a chair in our family room and hit the coffee table and had to get stitches (technically they were staples) on the back of her head.  Thank goodness she didn’t get a concussion!  And the staples haven’t slowed her down at all!  In fact, I’ve had to keep reminding her to be careful and slow down, so she doesn’t re-injure herself.  My son has apparently been biting kids at daycare and has been listed as a “Biter” in his file!  How awful!  He’s not biting at home, so I’m not sure how to stop that behavior.  Yesterday I received two calls from daycare, the first one the nurse called to tell me that someone pushed Ava and she hit her head (but the staples are fine) and the second from the same nurse because Grayson was bitten by someone!  I was almost relieved that he wasn’t the biter.  What a week it’s been and it’s only Wednesday!

Moving on the fun part of my day. . . picking out my outfit!  October is by far my favorite month of the year, but the weather isn’t feeling very autumn like.  It’s supposed to get up to 88 degrees today!  The warmer weather provided the perfect opportunity to wear this new dress that I found at the Ann Taylor Factory Store last weekend.  I was so excited to find this dress.  There was only one and it just happened to be a Size 4!  The best part was that it was reduced from $110 to $35, with an additional 40% off, so I got it for $21!!!  It really doesn’t get much better than that!  I loved the deep plum color and the bright yellow, lavender and cream floral pattern.  The dress is fitted in the bust and loose but structured with pockets in the bottom.  I paired it with neutral heels (but I would love a pair of bright yellow pumps) and accessorized with a yellow resin bead bracelet with a gold “beetle” detail (found at the Loft outlet for around $6), a gold “twig” necklace and gold earrings. I feel ready to conquer the world in this dress, or maybe just conquer my son’s biting! ;-)

Have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!
