steppin' out {sunday} - dressin' up.

yesterday p-ray & i got all dressed up in our sunday best & stepped out to churchy-church.  and why yes, i did cut my hair & dye it darker... thank you for noticing.

{linkin' up with steppin' out saturday at harper's happenings.  per the uge.}

today's steppin' out post is brought to you courtesy of the folks at Shabby Apple.  they sent me this super cute dress to review & no, i'm no fashion blogger but i do happen to be a mom who likes to clean up from time to time & try to look her best... so i think that qualifies me for this review, yeah?

i was in love with so many dresses on their site, but i eventually picked out this one.  i'm so happy with it.  i wore it today belted (f21) with a sweater (old navy) but totally want to wear it all vintage style like the model on their website.  i just need to find me one of those sweet hats.  when i do?  you better believe i'll be posting about it.  {and galavanting around the city in it just like the model, too.}

i love that the skirt is fitted from the hips down & doesn't hike up when i walk.  i love that the neckline is a little bit high so when i bend over & oversee p-ray's shenanigans i'm not giving any onlookers a show.  one thing i'm not so in love with?  it's pretty wrinkle-prone.  but i'll get over it.

you should definitely check out Shabby Apple.  i'm pretty sure you'll be dying at the vintage-inspired adorableness.  and don't get me started on how much i love their swimsuits.  but also?  don't expect me to pose in one on the blog anytime soon, either.

one thing you can expect soon is a giveaway from Shabby Apple right here on this very blog.  look for it later this week... it's a-gonna-happen.
