Marianne: Belated.



 Hmmmmmm? What's that? My birthday was nearly two weeks ago and it's a little ridiculous to only just post an outfit from that night? Well, WHATEVER, I bought a pretty new dress and completely forgot to upload the photos. So, two weeks later, here we are!

 I like to buy myself a birthday dress every year, and usually I pick something that I can wear to work. But I found this Tibi dress on eBay and it was love at first sight. It's a completely crazy cuckoo dress, with freaking panniers on it, but somehow it works. Probably because Tibi cuts things so amazingly well for us girls with a little junk in the ol' trunk.

Probably should have ironed it, but I think ironing on your birthday is illegal in the state of Tennessee. Anyway, do you buy yourself birthday presents, or am I just extra ridiculous? Spill it.

shoes: Chie Mihara Hito in Curry (similar Madden Girl wedges on sale for $40!)

  3. I love that dress! The colors are so fresh and pretty.

    For the past three years I've bought myself a new Trashy Diva dress to wear for my birthday. It's my consolation for having to work (at pressing deadline time to boot) on my actual birthday; I used to take the day off and take myself out for a champagne-y lunch.

  5. How did you forget pictures of yourself in that dress? It's--wow! And looks great on you, freaking panniers and all.

    I always buy myself stuff for Christmas because a) I'm out shopping anyway and b) there are always great sales on clothes, which I don't buy for anybody else.
