A bit of new ~


# 1  New dress

This dress is a prototype, I have a beautiful rayon fabric I really want to make it out of but I thought I 
 would try it first in an inexpensive black and white check gingham...just in case I didn't like it. 

But I do, and in some ways I might get more wear out of this casual look.


I have just found out that my camera will take timed photos which will be so much better than selfies with the camera blocking in the way. Now, I just have to learn how to do it.

For now, this is the best I can do...don't you love the camera strap...but the dress turned out rather well.


#2 New shoes

I needed a pair of shoes for a formal outdoor event coming up...no towering heels or platforms.

I was so lucky to find these on sale at Macy's. Perfect color and perfect style.


#3 New sunscreen

The dermatologist has recommended using a physical rather than a chemical sunscreen. I like CeraVe products so I thought I would try this one. It protects with zinc and I really like it. It goes on smoothly and leaves a matte finish. Daily use of sunscreen no matter the weather is so important, especially in warmer climates.


That's all my"new" news for a while.  

Thank you for visiting I hope you have a happy day.

    Super cute dress. I have been thinking of sewing a fall dress I have a pattern that is my favorite and I just use it over and over again. I made some dresses over the summer to wear in Paris sounds like a good future blog post for me haha thanks for the inspiration. Super cute shoes as well. I can't do heels at all so I love the lower style ~Heather

    Adrienne, can I just say you would look good in a gunny sack!! Now that I've embarrassed you, the new dress is really pretty and would look great in a fancier fabric also. A very flattering style and the shoes are so cute..Happy First Day of Fall..Judy

    Can't decide who has the more gorgeous hair, you or Miss Twiggley. :)

      She also has a very appealing little squashed up nose (...not that I am criticising your nose, of course... :)

      Don't know why that came twice. Once was quite sufficient. Software, I suspect.
