'Marilyn Monroe' dress

As soon as I saw this halter dress, I thought of the famous Marilyn Monroe photo over the subway grate.

Hee-hee!  Funny huh?

Kidding aside, I saw this dress at Salvation Army and paid a little more than I normally do for sun dresses ($12.00 for this one) but I fell in love with it.  It's a little hard to figure out how to put on, because not only is it a tied halter, it's also a wrap around, so it takes a little guess work to get it on the correct way. If you lay it out on the floor, it's just one giant piece of fabric. I actually had to put it all together first and slip it over my head to figure it out.

I love this gigantic turquoise bracelet a friend at work gave me.

And I got these bowtie flipflops at Dillards several years ago.  I ended up buying about 4 pairs of them. White, orange, black, and animal print.  If I ever find a very comfortable, cute shoe, I get all the colors it comes in.

I don't wear orange very often since it's not really 'my color, but because the dress had other colors in it I purchased some orange accessories for fun.  I've posted this necklace before, but don't get to wear it very often.  It is VERY noisy the way the little pieces clank together.  I can't sneak up on anyone.
