Oxblood Maxi

Another great Forever 21 find. This oxblood maxi dress was but $16! 

It was perfect for one of those pre-school-day meeting days when I had to get up at a disgustingly early hour and was not awake enough to come up with a clever outfit. One-piece dress, add some sparkles and that hot pink lip I love so much and there you have it, an easy early morning outfit!

P.S.: Tomorrow is my birthday, and my husband and I will be on an anniversary/birthday trip out to Utah (keep up with me on Instagram) where he will be running a half marathon! I will be taking the day off of blogging with the excuse of traveling, as well as taking a moment of recognition of just how old I really am! Sadness.

Fall is Here!

As I mentioned before I wasn't always the biggest fan of this oxblood color. This Vintage Coach bucket bag was an Ebay purchase from years back. As happens more than I care to remember, the items pictured color was not what I expected when I opened the package and it left me disappointed. It's been sitting in my closet for a few years now, but I am thankful I hung on to this vintage bag because it goes so well with my new oxblood boots! Today it came out of its dust bag to make a grand appearance for the first day of fall.
