Dress Week: Red Stripes for Me and Denim+Pink Flowers for Vivian.

First of all thank you to all of you who were concerned about me from the last post. I appreciate all the comments and E-Mails I received from you. I had a second visit at the doctor's today and she could see quite a bit of improvement and healing. Those ear-drops have done a miracle thus far. However she said the entire healing process will take about a month and I have to put on little ear-plugs too, when I shower. I have 5 more days of meds and antibiotics and on Tuesday I am due in for a third check-up. I am still in some pain, but nothing compared to what it was 3 days ago.

As I am typing this I realize that it is July 31st today which means August is the only full Summer month left. My third New Dress this week is another piece from H&M (see the other dresses 1 and 2). It just happens to be that way, because I have added a lot of new pieces from H&M this year, actually. I am finally wearing this Versatile+Flirty Red Striped Dress in a Fit+Flare Style, which was actually a Mother's Day Gift (together with a Necklace by H&M), by my husband. I wore the Dress last Saturday both during the daytime and the evening. It ended up being really comfortable. Well the dress is after all Ponte, but a thinner kind of Ponte which makes it perfect year-around and I plan to wear this Dress in the Fall, also. As a matter of fact I am currently wearing the Dress today, as I am typing this post (twice within a week, guys). I styled it differently of course. For my first time I wore my Nude Peep-Toe Wedges that have the Funky Colorful Polka Dots. It was a hot day so a low bun was indeed necessary, also no Necklace. Just some Gold Button Earrings, a stack of Bracelets and I also carried a Gold Handbag. Between the Red Breton Stripes and the Gold I accessorized with, I gave the Outfit a Nautical vibe. Perfect for what "Summer Red" means to me which is Today's theme for Spotlight Weekly. I wish you could see Vivian's Cute Dress better. It is Denim on the top and it mixes Pink Gingham with Pink Floral Print on the bottom. Do you own a Dress with Red Stripes?

  17. Hi my dear Ada. After a crazy month of traveling and activities I am catching up more and more with my blog reading and see that I missed a lot of your lovely posts. First of all SO sorry to hear you had the ear infection and that much pain :-( I went back to your original post about that to see what happened and it sounds so painful. I know how hard it is to deal with similar health problems while taking care of kids. Very happy to know you are feeling better now lovely!!! The red striped dress is just gorgeous on you and Vivian is as cute as ever. Have a fab week, XOXO, Elif <3
