Hello everyone!
It has been a very busy week for me. I've been packing for two trips, and it doesn't help that the climates are on the opposite ends of the spectrum...not to mention I am an avid over-packer. I'm flying out to visit my family in Louisiana, where the weather is still hot and humid. I am due back in Atlanta next Tuesday, and leaving the next evening with my husband and mother to Dubai and Istanbul for 10 days. Dubai's weather is going to be very similar to Louisiana's minus the humidity, and Istanbul is going to be between 50 and 60 degrees. Can you see my dilemma?
As always, thank you so much for reading!

ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous, Serena! :) I love that touch of animal print from the belt on your teal dress. :)

ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with a sleek dress like that -- and the skinny belt perks it up without being distracting!

Hey! Loving the teal dress! And those shoes! Although I might not make it more than 1/2 a block actually walking in them I find myself drooling. Girl, I could never keep up with your style. You rock the animal print and the sequins like a true diva. Thanks for your sweet comments and visiting Team Bowen- might be the sweetest comments I've ever gotten! Have a wonderful trip! Look forward to hearing about it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this dress..it is so flattering on you and I love the trench as well (note to self..need one!)
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much for following..can't wait to hear more of what you have to say :)
Have a great weekend!

So chic! Love this outfit and the pop of leopard. Good luck with your packing! I am an over-packer as well so I definitely see your dilemma.

Hey Serena! I love, love, love this dress! The color looks fabulous on you! I have a pattern for a peplum dress- now I just need to find some great fabric! You've inspired me- hopefully you'll see me post the result soon ;)
