Hello pretty bloggers!

I've decided to cut straight to the chase & skip my life story for now. Here's a Jessica Simpson dress I found on sale @ Tjmax yesterday for $59.99 ($149.99). Because of Muffin's line of work we frequently have the pleasure of attending cocktail parties, fundraisers, gala functions, etc. (hey, who doesn't like free champagne & fancy hors d'oeuvres?) & since there are just so many times a gal can recycle the same dress, I decided to splurge. What do you think about it? Like I told my best friend Tati, "think minus 15 lb & push up bra." Yeah, while we're on this topic please mind my jiggly arms & wide hips. Unfortunately, I've got my Cuban Grandmother & obsession with pasta (from my italian grandmother) to thank for them, but I'm hoping that my good attendance @ spinning class & Jillian Michaels dvd will break through some of my DNA.

p.s. I think I might pair the dress with these Charles David shoes (in gold) I bought at a sample sale at RueLaLa.

Do you think they're a good match?
