I guess we'll just call Sundays my domestic days. {see last Sunday's attempted domestication
here}. This afternoon I made homemade stew. By myself. Without directions. And without calling my mom. Huge milestone.
Huge. After four years on my own, we're finally making some progress. And when I say we, I really mean me. Husband tried to help, but I wouldn't let him. I wasn't about to let anyone else try nabbing the credit for
my precious baby stew. I even made it in a silk dress and heels. Because what
else would you make stew in? The only thing missing from the get-up was the pearls. Which I substituted for my
gangsta chains - as husband has lovingly dubbed them.
He thinks they're real classy.
Right now, this dress is only one of the two red items I have in my closet. Crazy huh? And now I'm not sure why I've avoided red my whole life. It's fabulous dahling. Fabulous. And I will probably be wearing it's silky yumminess every single day this summer. Just a heads up. Unless I decide to migrate south and start early. Escorted down by my
matching red airplane of course.

Wow, cooking stew in heels... How mad men of you! I love the red lipstick/red dress combination, looks great!

I'm dying for a cute red dress. I love wearing red, but I too only have a few red items. I think it's time to change that.
So chic, blazer is just right.
AND JS makes great shoes & I never want to allow myself to think so, why is this?

Stew? You go girl! I felt very domestic as well today - I cooked Cajun shrimp... ramen. Yep, fancy-shmancy ramen.

Love the red dress, it probably pops great in this dark winter. Also love your new design, did you happen to get the inspiration from jcrew's website? Looks super similar.
I don't know why, but I don't really have ANY red!
Your dress IS so cute. SO CUTE.

And those JS heels are amazing.
Congrats on the stew! I know what that feeling is like..
Very accomplishing : )

Love your outfit. Thanks for pointing out about your lack or red because that's when I realized I don't have much either
Just Better Together
I'm just recently getting into how awesome red lipstick is, so I know how you feel. Also, I think this is by far my favorite layout re-design that you've done!! (and i've liked all of them, but i'm particularly partial to this one!).
That red dress is stunning! And the playful hint of floral on the blazer is a perfect pairing.
LOVE that dress! Oh my goodness! So beautiful! Also is that a new hair color I see?? Love it! You just make me smile.

I myself have been recently asking why is it I don't wear more red? Now I've got a few red pieces and have been wearing them a lot more.
I think it's because I'm afraid of being ostentatious.

Red is kind of my signature color--especially on date night! :)
Off topic: Last night I was looking for your makeup favs, specifically your favorite bronzer as I am in the market for a new brand. I FINALLY found it, but was wondering if you could add a search to your site??? That would be REAL great.

Love the dress and tights together!
But if it were me making that stew, wearing that dress...spilling probably would have occurred!
that dress is adorable, and you have the most wonderful smile!
Love, love the dress and the new blog look!! ♥

That dress is amazing! As well as the airplane. Both are amazing.

This is so glam! And I'm extremely impressed you not only made stew, but did it in this dress & heels. I hope you wore an apron - because that would have really pushed the awesome over the edge.
I love the dress! Beautiful! :)
love the new blog layout!
Your new layout is super sleek. The dress is so pretty. I'm a terrible cook so stew would be huge for me too.

don't avoid red anymore. it is the best color out there and it looks lovely on you!

did i miss a post about a new hair color? it's cute. and way to make those shabby stairs look glamorous. i mean it!
Love the shoes!! Def would not expect them to be Jessica Simpson brand!
love this Sydney! Would you consider wearing Red on Friday since February is National Heart Disease Awareness Month and Friday is "Go Red for WOmen Day" - I'm trying to get as many fashion/wardrobe bloggers in for this to increase awareness!
I love that dress! Pretty! Just like you! :)
Amazing blazer! And red looks really great on you!
