Pink and Green Lady

My reasons for wearing this dress last Sunday were threefold. First, it was my husband's grandma's 91st birthday and I knew she would like the floral print. Second, apparently last Sunday, unbeknownst to me, was my first anniversary of my "relationship" with Boden and this dress is from Boden. They sent me a sweet, dare I say creepy, email reminding me that one year ago I made my first purchase from them. (And clearly they wanted me to make more!) Last of all, for whatever reason, the pink and green colors of this dress also remind me of jockey silks for racing, and since it is almost the Kentucky Derby, this would be a good "Derby Day" dress, sans the ostentatious hat.

Believe it or not, I actually cooked in this dress. Please note that these pictures were taken before I started this process. With my apron on, pearls, and this fit and flare style dress I felt sort of like a 60s housewife. The only problem was the next day I had to go to work!

Also, as a side note, I am beyond thrilled to be featured as head stylist on Lauren's blog, Style Elixir, which you can check out here!

  1. That dress is gorgeous, never seen bright pink paired with emerald before - I must try it. Congrats on being the Style Editor on Style Elixir, today. I had no idea you were an English teacher. I teach a couple of English classes myself, to young children and to adults (who are Albanians; I teach ESL).

    Have a great day Katie! <3 Ada.

    1. Thank you Ginny! Yes, I thought the email was cute, but a little strange too. I am always amazed at the lengths retailers will go to for sales!
