Qué Sera Sera?





Last night we went out to dinner, think quaint bistro. Anyway, after 4 days of fighting off a nasty head cold, followed by another headache the size of Manhattan, the night out was much welcomed as well as required. I love to wear a dress every now and then, and lately, maxis seem to be my go-to preference....

Pink Martini is what you are listening to. Something about this song brings me back to Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and classic Hollywood films starring Greta Garbo and Rita Haywood! :)

Earrings: Christmas present. Maxi dress: Forever 21. Bracelet: Vintage. Heels: Manolo Blahnik.
