Thanks to everyone who gave me an "Are you okay?" shout today. Brian and I are fine. The tornado hit about 20 minutes away from us. Funny thing is that even though all the signs were there, I didn't know there was a tornado going on. I had all the signs: 1. Continuous sirens 2. Daytime Darkness and 3. My dog acting like a crazy person, but with all that I didn't put two and two together until I heard someone talking about it. I have my slow moments and I'm still not used to Texas Twister weather. As you can see the tornado did not keep me from getting dressed LOL.
Side note: I'm getting a lot of sizing questions, so I wanted to clarify my sizing at Dorothy Perkins. I bought the top in a size 20. I actually should have sized down one, but I was thinking it was going to run small. I think the size 20 could fit up to a 22. Also, can I just say that Nordstrom Rack has the most awesome size 11 shoe selection! I love it! They even have some great selections in 12s & 13s. I go to the one at Park Lane here in Dallas. I'm not sure if the other locations are as great, but the one at Park Lane is the best.
So cute!! Peplum and leopard...two of my faves!! Glad you're okay!

The Nordy's Rack that I got to also has an amazing size 11 selection. It also does an expanded size sale so once a year the make all the size 11, 12, and 13 shoes 40%. It's better then Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteSo you're the one who got my shirt!!! You look great! I love the leopard! I am not sure why I am so scared of it...maybe it is time I face my fears...
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit. I'm glad the tornado didn't hit your hometown!
ReplyDeleteDorothy Perkins are usually fairly generous with their sizing, though on the odd ocassion, you need to go a size or two up.
Cute! Dorothy Perkins clothing is usually cute a little big, something I discovered after making several purchases from them.
ReplyDeleteI love this top and I saw it before but didn't buy because I hate sending back. I will def order now!
