Saturday morning, the kids are still sleeping, husband watching ESPN...I'm enjoying a cup of coffee and blogging.  Ahhhh so peaceful.  Wore this outfit last night for a friend's birthday celebration, and I was shocked at how much I adored the orange necklace and wedges with the green dress!  Honestly I think the best thing that fashion blogs have taught me is how great unexpected color combinations can be.  Ladies, if you are in need of any more summer dresses, snatch this one from J.Crew right now!  It's marked way down from $158 to to $49.99 and with the promo code SHOPNOW you will get an extra 30% off.  What a steal!  The succulent green is gone but I am sure the white is lovely and the lavendar would look great on certain skin tones.  The dress stayed put all night so I wasn't constantly yanking it up like some strapless dresses, and it's just so summery.  As far as fit goes, it is TTS.  This is a size 6 which is my usual strapless dress size.

I honestly felt like I was committing highway robbery when I bought these wedges.  They were marked to just $39.99 at my local J.Crew, and while the stores were still doing the 40% off sale, I snagged these $198 shoes for a mere $24.99.  Can you even believe it?  They are very comfortable and I love that they are not ridiculously high and stripper-y like so many wedges.  My whole outfit is comprised of J.Crew bargains!  Well except for the necklace...that wasn't too great of a deal at $80 but I am SO happy with it, it really completes an outfit.  Here's a close-up of the necklace, if it ever pops back grab it! 

We are headed down to see the #1 baseball team in the nation...the Cincinnati Reds....play today.  There are 11 family members going, so it should be a good time!  I'll try to take some pictures!  I'm not a sports girl but I am proud of  my hometown Reds!
