I hope you aren't all sick of seeing this Tahari coral patterned dress (especially with aqua shoes) because I'm still utterly in love with it. If Tahari offered this dress in other colors (especially green) I'd duplicate in a heartbeat.

Last time I wore this dress with my aqua pumps, it was to attend a friend's wedding. This time, I wore the items to work followed by making some returns at the mall and happy hour with one of my closest friends.

After a couple days of darker color combinations I was missing my brights I've been running cold at work so I paired my bright red cardigan with the dress-it's not an exact colors match, but is darn close.

I popped on my Commando nude zig-zag micronet hose, white watch, and teal "doughnut" earrings. Couldn't be easier! I'd like to try my white blazer over this dress too.

On another note, I really enjoyed and related to Sally's post about having short hair on AlreadyPretty this week: http://www.alreadypretty.com/2.....ve-13.html

My hair isn't currently as short as Sally's is now, but I've worn it pretty close to that length in the past and my current cut is definitely in the "short" category. I've always had trouble understanding the feelings of panic some of my longer-haired friends experience when they go to a salon and have a few inches trimmed off from already long hair. I personally experience a rush when I get a fresh cut, especially when I see a great deal of hair piled on the floor. It makes me feel refreshed and revived, and not only during dramatic moments of personal crisis the way you see in films or television.

My hair does feel personal, but I'm more bothered by being dragged down by locks that feel shaggy and grown out, and being able to freshen my look makes me feel like I'm cutting loose some personal baggage as well. I've learned over time that my hair looks and feels a million times better when it is chin length or shorter than when I try to grow it out, and I absolutely love having short hair, too.
