PMN: Emerald Dress

First of all, thanks to everyone for all of the support, comments & questions on Ask Phivy!!  Second of all, that literally has taken over our lives.  BUT WE LOVE IT.  So keep asking us questions & giving us feedback.  We love the idea of having Ryan & Tu as contributors, so we'll let everyone know when that's up.

In the meantime, back to the FASHUNS at hand!  Actually, someone recently asked me if I get a discount on PMN since I'm irl friends with Tramanh & Issa.  And while I do, it only incentivizes me to BUY MOAR STUFF.  This dress is one of my favorite purchases.  I love the color, fit & style of it.  Hands down, I'll be wearing this a lot more.  The only sucky part is that it's silk, which means, any spills is like, fatal.

More Than Mint: CCT Style Dress

Like my GUHLS over at PMN, Erica (of CloudsofTulle) also had some great finds for sale at MoreThanMint & of course because I'm too impatient to go shopping regularly (and who doesn't love a great deal), I spotted this dress & immediately bought it.

Except....it sat in my closet for MONTHS before I decided to wear it.  I tried wearing it to my family's Christmas party but it wasn't "white enough" for my mom, so it went back in the closet.  But then it's TOO white for a wedding, and I haven't gone to any fancy dinners lately, so...it just sat & sat.  I would pull it out, then put it back in, only because I didn't think the places I was going was fancy enough to be wearing the dress.

Until I gave up & just wore it to work.  I needed to break it in.  And you know what?  Just like getting your first scratch on your car or on your new phone's screen, once you do it, you're suddenly much more comfortable with it.

MXC

Do you guys know whatever happened to MXC (which I thought stood for Maximum Extreme Challenge, but apparently stands for Most Extreme Elimination Challenge - who knew?!).  I was watching Wipe Out the other day & it made me miss the original - just not as good.

Anyway, I went to Ontario Mills Mall the other day & bought this great maxi dress from H&M. The store was so crowded I seriously just estimated if it would fit me & just bought it anyway (figured I could always return it if it didn't...of course it did & now I'm wearing it).  After taking these photos, I did not like how I looked with my hair like that PLUS the outfit...so much hippie.  So I let my hair down & just wore it in loose curls. LAZY.  I scored these Jessica Simpson heels from a Nordstrom Rack in Chicago for $32.Good find indeed.

In sadder news - Mr. Ez E took a turn for the worse & isn't doing very well so we're off to a second opinion tomorrow to see if he was misdiagnosed or if the medications weren't simply working. :(  We're sads but hoping for the best.  Thanks to everyone for your warm wishes & thoughts - we'll keep you updated.
