OOD 5.18.09: kicking off the week (and a pretty rose bowl)


I think it is finally warm enough to wear this little knit dress, though I am going to throw a jean jacket over it in the am... I ordered the dress on J Crew super sale a while ago... I don't think it has a special name... but I remember the color is rhubarb.

So today after volunteering at school, I'm heading for a pedicure... OPI's South Beach collection really caught my eye last time I was in so I want to choose something fun for my toes to kick off my birthday week.  

The older you get, the longer I think you should stretch out your birthdays!  So fun stuff all week long: mani/pedi, solo shopping (I have that Anthro discount card to use still, and the little birthday gift waiting at Sephora... both of which are conveniently near a J Crew) and scheduling a massage and facial (I've had the massage gift certificate for 2 years and the facial for 1 year... I think it's time!), special dinner with the family.

Here's my Polyvore for today.  

And a picture of my lovely little rose bowl I put together with some roses FIL brought over yesterday.  

Happy Monday!

  5. Happy Birthday week! I just pulled out my summer clothes and found the same dress. I have it in a dark pink. It is so comfortable! I think I'll try it with the jean jacket. Thanks for the inspiration! And it is time for you to cash in those GC and enjoy! :)

  8. mrs.a - thanks! I so wish I knew what color... the little label was missing off the bottom! I almost got a different color because of that! LOL. It is a plummy/browny/bronzy color - pretty dark. Similar to one of the Australian Bronze colors... and for the mani I got Tutti Frutti Tonga... a pearly light pink :)
