It’s a title I’ve used before, Little Red Dress, this time with a completely different style. My dress from the Fabulous over 40 Model Search was ultra glamorous! This one is classy for everyday and yet can be dressed up to go to a birthday party (like my birthday 🙂 ) and a romantic Valentine’s dinner.
I’m celebrating 66 years!
It’s only a number. I don’t act my age. The best is yet to come!
I bought this little red dress at Hudson’s Bay during their Boxing Day sales. The front is a very soft faux suede and I love the fancy faux suede stitching, gives it a bit of a western vibe. In this bitter cold weather, I’m wearing warm bamboo tights from Drizzle and Shine. I won’t need those when the weather warms up someday, but for now, they are perfect.
Oops! Caught in the act of refreshing my red lipstick!
Houndstooth coat is thrifted and takes me from the house to the car to the restaurant.
The little black heart purse was a gift from my daughter Jean for my 60th birthday.
Happy birthday to my February friends
and Happy Valentine’s to everyone!
Love never fails!
Life is good!

Thank you so much Jean! I always mention you when I tell people why I am vegan. At 66 I’m healthy and feel energetic! But the best feeling that being vegan gives me is peace in my heart. ❤ For that I have you to thank! 🙂

Aww happy Birthday Carmen , I need to look at your ID as I think you look nowhere near that age!! The dress is so pretty with the stitching and I like the tights and booties with it. A girl has to look her best and that includes checking her lipstick! The coat is fabulous , so dressy and I love the purse tying everything together. Have a beautiful Valentines day Dear, lots of extra hugs, Terri xo.

You’re so sweet, what a lovely compliment! I really do have fun with fashion. Hearts are one of my favourite things (perhaps because I was born in February) so I have a lot of heart jewellery and clothes, as well as home decor! I’ll show some in my next post.
