So, I'm walking G money and see two little boys (around age 8) across the street. One's watching traffic one way and the other is kinda looking at Gracie and me. Totally not bizarre b/c kids often skateboard n stuff around here, so I was like whatever... Buuuut... as I got closer, I saw a girl's tan leg and heard her exclaim "Cover me up!" (Yeah you're thinking what I was) I didn't really skip a beat...kept walking...and saw one of the boys throw a towel on a likely topless) blonde girl age...um...18ish? (I didn't stare b/c I'm not a perv. Thanks.). She'd been posed sitting on something. As all kinds of things were adding up really fast in my head, they weren't adding fast enough b/c I then saw a man..rephrase..a guy old enough to be all these kids' dad...in camo pants...unshaven and unshowered (maybe not, but he was totally not a professional). This random camo man had a CAMERA and was busy going through about 3 lenses from a case to choose the right one.
What the HELL did I walk up on?! The best part...the guy walked over to this random half naked girl (I think she had on a bikini bottom) with camera in hand and just said hi to me like it was no big thing.
WHAT.ON.EARTH?
Bizarro. That's all I've got. Sorry the story ends there. I didn't stick around and make new naked friends.
Anyway, this was after I'd made a trip to Utica. I wanted a dress to wear to a bbq this weekend. Right. I found an adorable coral one at Ann Taylor on MAJOR sale. I asked the girl "This is coral right?" She said "yeah." I said "Okay! It's not red? It doesnt look red, but the lighting is weird." Her: "Well, I'd say coral." Great.
Go ahead. Guess. You're right.
It's red.
Crap. I have no idea when I waged a war against the color red when featured in a dress (I own a cute, red dress for work actually). But, I think I just liked the idea of it in coral. Stupid lighting at Ann Taylor. Maybe with some cute, bright jewelry.... ?? (turquoise maybe). I still like it. I'm just being dumb b/c I have no more time this week to find something.

So, I've been loving this dress below at Francesca's (which we're getting in Tulsa btw at Woodland...Lauren took me there in the Chi and I fell in love with the store!)

I thought "hmm.. I could overnight it..." Then, I'd have it for the bbq. I realize this is dumb b/c I definitely probably have something I could wear anyway but I was going to order the dress anyway....so why not overnight it and get it as an option, right?
Why are you friends with me? b/c apparently I am the most indecisive person ever today on completely unimportant things. And color blind to boot. (The bbq is for E's work stuff...hence overanalyzing). I just wish Tulsa had some more cute little boutiques. I think there are some out south, but I have no idea where they are....
I think it's just been a long day...haha.. No A/C this morning. Wet hair in business attire. Meetings for the "leadership development" program I'm in (hooray on that btw!). And waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
I'm lucky this is what I'm annoyed by today...haha.. and glad I'm not the half naked girl. Man.. if that's her dad, she's gonna have ISSUES. If it's not, I think I'm even more concerned. Maybe. It's a toss up really.

okay, your story totally creeps me out. ewww.
DUDE. so they were shooting some kind of porno near your house? unacceptable. ewwy.
i like the dress, even though it's red. you'll look adorable. ;)
I like the dress and I like turquoise and red! It will look great at a BBQ. The naked girl/photographer/boys of look out is all kinds of creepy! I would take a different route on my walks from now on...
LOL you should have asked what they were doing, I would have...lol
Love the red dress!!!
they're getting a francesca's in tulsa?!? that's awesome. weird that you mentioned it because i just went there this afternoon. i love that store. got two pairs of skinny pants and a cute shirt. they also had a few really cute dresses that i loved. glad it's coming to tulsa! i know what you mean about tulsa not having enough boutiques. the ones they do have, like the ones on brookside, are too expensive. they need something with unique stuff that is affordable. or at least an h&m or something : )
lauren!
