Hello friends,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and was able to do something fun with your family or friends. Do you guys remember this dress from Midnight Velvet, it is still one of my favorite summertime sheaths.
A few weeks ago I wore it to church along with my Avon Forever shoes and matching purse.
The necklace and earring set is also Avon, and if you haven’t seen a recent catalog you need to do so now as there are some great end-of-the-season sales going on.

I will definitely be wearing this dress in the fall, can’t wait to wear it with either a red blazer or a black cardigan.
How would you wear it?
As we wind down the summer and head into autumn what outfits are you most looking forward to wearing into the cooler days?
Enjoy the rest of your day and if you get a chance head over to see Whitney’s blog and link up your Personal Style.

Hello Friends, when you’re heading out for brunch with hubby or lunch with the ladies do you find choosing just the right thing to wear a daunting task? Do you open your closet door, stare inside and say, “I have nothing to wear?” Well when hubby and I decided to head to Aqua Sol for Sunday Brunch, I knew exactly what I was going to wear.
This Polka Dot Sheath dress from Midnight Velvet was perfect for an afternoon at the Marina. Sleeveless with a side zipper made it comfortable enough for sitting in the sun and the polyester/spandex blend made it stretchable enough to enjoy a meal without it being too tight afterwards.
I chose to wear my “caliente” pumps to match the red belt which gave it more of a colorful pop.
As part of Midnight Velvet’s Summer 2014 catalog this dress is definitely a confident summer style with pizzazz. The side pockets were a nice added feature and perfectly sized to drop in my cell phone.
Now to assist you with the “I have nothing to wear” dilemma, Midnight Velvet has offered to give one of my lucky readers at $50 Midnight Velvet Gift Certificate. This Rafflecopter giveaway will end at midnight on June 30th, so hurry and enter today.

Disclosure: I received this item free of charge from Midnight Velvet. No monetary compensation was received or offered, all opinions are 100% my own.
Growing up in Dover I remember getting excited every time a Midnight Velvet catalog came in the mail. As soon as one arrived my grandmother and I would snuggle up on the sofa and flip through each page. She loved the large colorful church hats, and I loved the shoes, jewelry and decorative tops. I liked seeing the beautiful clothing the models wore, but always secretly wanted an animal print bedroom set, however, I knew my grandmother would have said, “no”.
I still love looking through the pages of a Midnight Velvet catalog, and now I have an opportunity to review a product from their Spring 2014 catalog. Of course I thought of my grandmother, knowing she would have been excited for me and wished I had chosen one of those big, colorful church hats.
However, for this review, I selected the Monte Carlo Gold Caftan. It arrived in a zebra print box which I’ll definitely re-purpose later. I loved that it was exactly as pictured in the catalog and fit perfectly. The Caftan is two pieces with a machine washable polyester tank underneath. Extra sequins are included for the nylon top which only needs to be spot cleaned.
The Monte Carlo Gold Caftan is perfect for a night out on the town with hubby or perhaps to a special church event which I know my grandmother would have liked.
Midnight Velvet has fresh new Spring confident styles for a beautiful you and your home. Check them out on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, and Pinterest, and be sure to follow their Beauty Blog for the latest fashions, styles and trends.
I am also excited to announce that they have offered to give one my readers a $50 Midnight Velvet Gift Certificate.
