The Sunday Snag – Spring Sweetheart

Spring is just around the corner and here is a dress I snagged this winter in anticipation!

I purchased this sheer abstract floral piece from Zwzzy and it is just darling. It's a 1950's like style (possibly 80's? Not sure.) with a high neckline, capped sleeves, and shell buttons. This is ideal for dancing! I can unbutton the top to wherever I feel comfortable and I can unbutton the bottom to create a front slit for my legs to move easily. Plus, it is sheer so I can wear a light slip underneath and not get so hot! After trying it on, I did decide to shorten the skirt as it was about 5" below my knee, but after the hem it is pretty perfect and ready for spring!

Saturday Special – Look What the Hubs Did!

Valentine's Day was a real treat this year! The hubs and I don't usually do a lot, but this time he did the absolute sweetest thing. He made a brunch menu with all kinds of tasty goodies and let me choose which ones I wanted him to make. And they weren't choices like cereal, folks! It was fancy!

Here is what I choose:

Starter: Scottish Oat Scones (with cream and jam)

Starter: Goat Cheese Salad (I wanted two starters, don't judge)

Savory: Apple Bacon Cheddar Frittata

Sweet: Challah French Toast

Beverage: Breakfast Tea and Peach Bellini

I haven't been feeling very well the last few days (cold or something), so this was so nice. We just took the whole day off and watched movies together and ate a progressive brunch. He even took out the pretty china! Man, I love this guy!
