Makeup Mayfest ~ Day 3

Monday we meet again and that means time for linking up with

Lindsey at Let the Light Shine and her new co-host which happens to be my bestie

Rachel at Running Backwards in High Heels.

 

It's no secret among those who are close to me that I love me some

Rachel  Roy dresses. I fell in love with her line last year when I was shopping

for my 10 year high school reunion. Since then my eyes have not strayed far from

her when I step into a Macy's hunting down the next best dress.

 

Last week I popped into Macy's while they were having their Friends & Family

Event which entitles cardholders to an additional 25% off anything. Last year I

found my beloved white/rose gold Michael Kors watch and this year I grabbed

this little Rachel Roy goodie.

 

 

Isn't she just a beaut, Clark?!

The top is a sheer chiffon material while the bottom is a tight spandex.

 

I love the funky print on top.

 

Perfect for work, wedding, or even church.

 

Best thing about this dress.... She was $119 and I got her for $40!!!

Heck to the yes.

 

 

Love her back exposed zipper detail.

 

 

 

 Classic black/tan combo (so classy) with the trendy bright

neon colors thrown in for a fun more flirty look.

 

 

I do apologize for not having a better picture of me in this dress.

This was dressing room picture that is typically always sent to

Alison, Rachel, and Rebecca for approval. : )

 

 

 

And here we are together for an after hours work event on Thursday

night. What's up with the beer?! Glad you asked. I HATE beer... it is

so disgusting to me. I truly don't understand how people acquire a taste for it.

Blehhhhhh!!! But, my boss is a big beer drinker and so I decided to see if I could compete

with him a little. In telling the bartender what I was trying to do she suggested a

Michelob as she said it was more of a "ladies beer."

 

Who knows?! I took about 3 or 4 sips and was done.

He won. I will stick to my fruity martinis or white wine.

 

Happy My Style Monday

 

 

 

Say Yes to Which Dress?

I did a post back in May before my ten year high school reunion with several pictures of dresses

I tried on and loved and let you comment on which one you thought I chose to wear. 

WELL.... I have a wedding coming up this weekend in my hometown and went 

through the same process last night with choosing a dress. I thought this would make for another fun 

blog post. 

I've tried to cut back on spending and am trying to do do better about analyzing "needs" verses "wants."I set up some new guidelines for spending, HOWEVER I am justifying this spend a little more because: A. I have two weddings this fall (fall weddings are just tough and require the right

kind of dress) B. The wedding is in my hometown and I have no idea whom I may run into

or see so this calls for stepping up my A game, right?! Ok, good... glad you agree on my splurge! 

Ok, so shopping destination? 

Team Macy's. 

Brand to look for? 

Rachel Roy and Bar 111. 

(Love, Love, Love these brands)

Oh, to be rich and have a closet full of pretty dresses..... sigh. 

Option 1:

Light Plum Rachel Roy cocktail pleated mini dress.  

Option 2:

Dark Hunter/Teal Green Rachel Roy Bennett sleeveless banded waist dress. 

Option 3:

Bar 111 burnt orange/navy fitted short sleeve sweetheart colorblocked mini. 

Option 4:

Bar 111 dark teal classic fitted knee length dress. 

So, there you go. I narrowed it down to my top 4 for the purpose of this post. I thought about disclosing 

prices, but they all run close to same price. Anywhere from $69-99. 

Rachel, Alison, and Matt you are excluded from commenting on this post! Have fun and I hope

you let me know which dress you like best! I'm very excited with my choice! 

I will do a dress reveal post next week on my Weekend Rewind, What's in my Bag post. 

Stay tuned...
