It’s Monday again and I’ve got a case of the not enough weekend blues! Saturday was filled with home managing stuff but Sunday was the best day I’ve had in such a long time.  After church, we grilled hot dogs and burgers, listened to some good music and hung out together as a family in the backyard.  The kids played until they fell out in the grass, which meant sound sleeping, yay!   My hubby works so much we rarely get to spend quality time together so this was a much needed evening.  I hope you enjoyed you weekend to the fullest doing whatever makes your heart happy!

I am in love with this dress! Say whatcha want about Walmart but they have some real finds in there beyond the obvious home goods and foodstuff.  This dress had me at hello, I couldn’t even pretend to walk past it, I knew it was mine.  It had all the earmarks of a dress I would wear, animal print, a fitted shape and inexpensive to boot..sold.  This is the second piece I’ve purchased from Miss Tina’s line and I am impressed with the quality and detailing.  The dress came with a stretchy belt but I swapped it out for this one.  Kept the accessories simple…it’s too hot to pile on stuff, just a few wooden bangles, pair of earrings  and my faux Dany platforms.

Go forth and please…Be stylish!

      Hi Rocquelle, It was an awesome Sunday1 It was nothing special but just being together laughing, eating and dancing made all the difference. Walmart strikes again, showing me that I can look chic and not spend a ton!
