I’ve been off colour for a few days, and feeling blue… but I’m not complaining, as things are definitely looking more rosy today… This evening my husband and I strolled down to the river together for a picnic under the paperbarks to celebrate Valentines Day. We don’t go out just the two of us very often at all, so it’s nice to make the effort once in a while, no?
As well, last Friday we went to a BIG party where some good friends celebrated their silver wedding anniversary, so it really feels lately like romantic celebrations are in the air…! I wore my Sandwich Bag dress and it was the perfect dress for partay-ing in a sweltering summer evening.
But for today, what could say romance more softly and prettily than pink? so I dug out the most romantic pink dress I own and put some pink champagne in the fridge to chill. And after yet another oppressively hot day like today, it was enough to just chuck some chook on the barbie, chop it up into a green salad, chased down with a few dark chocolate truffles for afters… a simply lovely feast!
Wishing everyone an equally gorgeous Valentine’s Day evening …

Yes, this is definitely your most romantic dress. Thanks for your comments on my t-shirt. Surprisingly, given the focus of the comments, one of the things I like about it is the colour.
I love this dress. Perfect for the day. Meanwhile we didn't do anything spesh but that's cool. We're special those other 364 days. 😉 xoxo
oh my gosh this dress, LOVE it. This is definitely one of my favorites.
Your Valentine's day sounded lovely! (How weird is it that I'm still celebrating here? 🙂 I've never heard of a silver wedding anniversary but it sounds like fun. Does it mean it's their second wedding anniversary? In any case, I'm glad it was fun and I'm glad you had a good Valentine's day!
Great pose and photo. How fun! Glad you had a nice Valentine's Day!
