Crimson and Roses

Hi everybody!
Hope you all had a great long weekend 🙂 We didn’t do much,
but did really dig the cool summer air blowing through the curtains at night.
Also, my one and only rosebush is in full bloom! YaY!

Most women my age wouldn’t see that as a huge venture that involves bragging rites, but I (or should I say, our rocky-ass yard) cannot grow the average flowering plant. Of any sort…

So, in honor of the crimson roses that are making my front yard a bit less drab -The ones making us not “Those Neighbors” who grow dandelions for sport, I am wearing a thrifted deep red Liz Claiborne dress. I LOVE the drop waist and I cut out that stifling attached slip to make it properly sheer… It could be really pimped out with a belt, baubles, vests, etc…,But it seemed to lay better sans tons of accessories. Just a wisp of red silk. Monochromatic.
If you don’t count 2 scarves;)
This dress will definitely see some action this fall!

How would you accessorize this dress?
Do you enjoy wearing non-traditional seasonal colors?
