seeing double.

yesterday, i showed you a beach look with this dress.
by simply adding a pair of leggings and heels, i'm ready to hit the [beach] town. it's still casual, but at least i won't feel uncomfortable walking into a restaurant. plus, leggings don't wrinkle and won't take up too much room in your packed bags.


this italian wine was recommended by the store when i asked for a reasonable red wine. supposedly italian wines give you the most bang for your buck...so to say. it wasn't my favorite, but not bad either. i used to be able to drink anything, but i may be getting spoiled by my friend's aerator and my neighbor's wine refrigerator...neither of which i have at home!
brie...my favorite cheese. i especially love the outer layer.
what are your favorite cheeses?
if you eat brie, do you like the outside?

I LOVE Brie (and Trisquits!!!!) but I can't stand the outer layer. This is a great spin on this dress! Gorgeous as usual!

Meri said...

Those are some serious shoes! They look great though, so worth it!

KC said...

This is a totally cool outfit...and those SHOES!!!!

MerciBlahBlah said...

you KNOW I love those shoes....I also loves me some cheese, including brie. I love taking a smallish wheel of it and wrapping it inside puff pastry. Then you brush the top with melted butter and brown sugar and bake. When it's done, eat with apple slices. So. Good.

I also love gjetost cheese - it has a very caramel taste to it and is also good with fruit. YUM.

And if I ever DON'T have goat cheese crumbles in my fridge, it is a bad day. I eat it on everything - salad, eggs, pasta, you name it.

Love it both ways!! I have those shoes in tan, but they're high! I can't wear them as much as I wish that I could.

I love Brie too, I especially love those baked ones with the fruits over it. They usually sell it during the holidays. I kinda like the outside part too.

Ohhh I love this version with the dress. It looks great with the leggings/heels and tough accessories. I need a studded bangle in my life ASAP. It's so nice to see a piece transition from one situation to another

I loooove brie, loooove it, rind included. Camembert is also very good, I especially love it heated a little mmm, and oka is another good one. I just love cheese in general, except those of the bleu variety.

I used to really be into Brie, but hated the outside. Now my favorite is soft goat cheese. It's so delicious with crackers or apples :)

Don't you just love versatile pieces like this?! IT's totally amazing both ways...the draping and proportions also are so pretty on you. Way to work a great wardrobe staple two completely different ways.
