If last week weather was frigid cold which prompted me to bundle up, today is all windy. You should’ve heard the thunder this morning. I thought my roof was going to fall on top of me while I was fighting my darnest to leave the comfort of my bed. I was contemplating on calling my Channel Editors to let them know I can’t work today coz I’m afraid to turn my computer on. Good thing whatever bowling tournament they were doing up in heaven stopped, heh. Ok, breakdown of today’s Family Dinner outfit, yeah, I’m dressed too early. We’re meeting up with my brother-in-law’s family to eat at my favorite Japanese restaurant, KOBE. Sushi here I come.

]]> black_printdress.jpgI’m following(copying, whatever :) )in Sasha’s footsteps and declare my own love affair with dresses. Next to shoes(except sneakers and flats), I go insane over dresses. Classics, prints, different fabrics/cuts/styles, bring ‘em all. I wear it during Spring/Summer season with heels and wedges and during Fall/Winter with my knee-high boots. I have my own collection, albeit shoes takes more precedence, I’m slowly getting there in having quite a reasonable selection. In this inset picture(I cropped my hubby’s picture out), I’m wearing a black halter print dress that I found at AAFES years ago for less than $20 I think. I’ve covered it with a Metro7 velvet gray 3/4 sleeves shrug from Walmart, on sale for $3, since it was a cold day in December of last year when I wore it. Stilettos in December, yet cold? Well, that’s the benefit of living in North Carolina. You would still feel the winter cold without running into snow which is AWE-SOME. We’ve lived in NY for 8 years therefore winter without snow in NC is like eating a huge slice of devil’s chocolate cake topped with dollops of whipped cream and a cherry on top. Uh huh. FYI, this picture was taken 4 months post-baby. I’ve lost quite a few more pounds since then. Plus sexy bangs to boot. Just thought I’d throw that in there ;) .

Now on to some of my dresses I picked for this entry…

Plum Halter-Tube Eyelet Dress
I dugged this among the great bargains at ROSS. It was tagged $3.99. I absolutely love the color and you just can’t beat that price. This is the dress I casually mentioned when I showed you my picks from Clothez 2 The Edge store. It has a cord tie-belt around the waist. I haven’t worn it yet coz I’ve reserved it for our vacation in NY at the end of this month.

Multicolor Flower Print Tube Dress
There is a blue rose pin and blue ribbon to accentuate this lovely printed tube dress. This is perfect for a garden wedding party or at Church with a white cropped shrug. If I remember it right, I paid $12 for it from AAFES. The same year I bought the black printed halter dress above.

Tan Brown V-Neck Polka-Dot Wrap Dress
This is the tan version of the black polka-dot dress I found from Goody’s for only $4.99. The original price was $30 so it’s definitely a STEAL. I like to have the same things in different colors so when I saw this tan brown color 2 months after I bought the black version I was smiling for ear to ear :D .

Well, that’s all for now. You can also add the definitive Summer must-have WHITE dress on this list as well.

Now fess up, you’re having a love affair with your dresses, aren’t you? Show us the proof, hand over those pictures(and a link) :P .
