HomeGoods Happy $100 GIVEAWAY

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of my favorite retailers for home decor, HomeGoods, invited me to "Make Happiness Happen" for someone in my community with a $250 gift card to HomeGoods.  There were no restrictions and I could use the gift card to help in any way (some examples they shared were redecorating the living room of a firehouse, donating the gift card to a silent auction, decorate your spouse’s office, or the bedroom of one of your closest friends who needs some help).</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />I chose to put the gift card to good use by decorating the reception area/lobby of my son's school.  It's a wonderful environment for learning and community, but honestly, the lobby needed some help.  It's funny how these things organically happen, because one day after drop-off, I was in the lobby with some faculty and one of the men mentioned that he didn't really like how the lobby looked.  I had been wanting to approach the school with this idea, and the opportunity fell into my lap on that morning.  We made sure to confirm with the principal that she was on board with the mini revamp, and happily, she was! <br /><br /><br /><br />I started with replacing an industrial grey rug with a <a href="https://www.jossandmain.com/Episode-5%3A-The-Guest-Room-Dina-Rug-Size%3A5%27-x-8%27~FV52368~E12694.html?refid=GX54925123018-FV52368_12368297&device=c&ptid=67671355662&PiID%5B%5D=12368297&gclid=CN--5t3xtMACFc1i7AodzEsARw">colorful chevron 'Dina' rug</a> from <a href="http://www.jossandmain.com/invite/honeywerehome">Joss & Main</a>.  I had to make sure it could withstand heavy traffic, not show dirt easily, and was safe for high heels.  I think it fits the bill.  I know it's bright, but I figure it works for a cheerful school lobby.  HomeGoods has rugs too, and I fell in love with some for my home! but they didn't have the size and colors I needed for the school.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6gERHqiO8Pt4ena-Ht8yuS2m8-t3v5HrR1oguhtS1rkXdr9LJrM39pOV7KdzyAIBradK0o2TfgRi-7P-p04VYMzf-uFWJHQ_4NCUAvChAGO0SMg8LlfUn7qXf_MgDWiLRB3vldD_HlcES/s1600/Joss+and+Main+rug.866.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6gERHqiO8Pt4ena-Ht8yuS2m8-t3v5HrR1oguhtS1rkXdr9LJrM39pOV7KdzyAIBradK0o2TfgRi-7P-p04VYMzf-uFWJHQ_4NCUAvChAGO0SMg8LlfUn7qXf_MgDWiLRB3vldD_HlcES/s1600/Joss+and+Main+rug.866.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Then, armed with my $250 HomeGoods gift card, I shopped my local store for some decor items to tie in with the rug. The reception area is a smallish, rectangular room with two arm chairs, but that's about it. We'll keep the chairs and add the HomeGoods items below:  a half-moon side table, two Chinoiserie vases, and a bright yellow garden stool.  Yellow and blue are our school colors, so I wanted to add them in a creative way.  The orchid will add life and hopefully be easy to maintain.  </div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigDBfdBv1WmZJcqVN4sghguRjPRJXkZ2QfBRUG8V1h4iELGJmZIrUC66T0isplOqa67XSgwsYKokndeWFiudNQXVTBHWNsH63rWqBxXQM8uX9PKC-7zk1ikqIhLaP1-tt6XJV83jycWros/s1600/Honey+We're%2BHome%2BHomegoods%2BGiveaway.858.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigDBfdBv1WmZJcqVN4sghguRjPRJXkZ2QfBRUG8V1h4iELGJmZIrUC66T0isplOqa67XSgwsYKokndeWFiudNQXVTBHWNsH63rWqBxXQM8uX9PKC-7zk1ikqIhLaP1-tt6XJV83jycWros/s1600/Honey+We're%2BHome%2BHomegoods%2BGiveaway.858.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGrHj0rTSkTxnvchzM2fC6nQw7I0SE_c-4jGB7L8pWCGJH7CbY8oyg6wTLNZoYGQdV3YxhquRD6WGLZk3V3PxtOLQGbtdz-O7TwtmE0outAS4UZBCxbe40jFC4UF4v-2gteHD0B0C4Mg3Y/s1600/Honey+We're%2BHome%2BHomegoods%2BGiveaway.871.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGrHj0rTSkTxnvchzM2fC6nQw7I0SE_c-4jGB7L8pWCGJH7CbY8oyg6wTLNZoYGQdV3YxhquRD6WGLZk3V3PxtOLQGbtdz-O7TwtmE0outAS4UZBCxbe40jFC4UF4v-2gteHD0B0C4Mg3Y/s1600/Honey+We're%2BHome%2BHomegoods%2BGiveaway.871.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />I'm so excited for install day soon!  Thank you HomeGoods for helping make our school lobby a happier place!  And now it's your turn to win a $100 gift card to HomeGoods. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="color: #f4cccc; font-size: large;">*</span><span style="color: #ea9999; font-size: large;"> GIVEAWAY </span><span style="color: #f4cccc; font-size: large;">*</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="color: #ea9999;">HomeGoods is giving away a $100 gift card to one reader to spread some happiness in your community.  Enter below!  </span></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><br /><br /></div><br /><a class="rafl" href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/36a1522117/" id="rc-36a1522117" rel="nofollow">a Rafflecopter giveaway</a><br /><script src="//widget.rafflecopter.com/load.js"></script><br /><br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 53px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 288px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 53px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 288px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a>

DIY Wooden Box Makeover with Duct Tape

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Last week, I showed you a project where I <a href="http://bit.ly/1onpsbm">painted a wooden box with a geometric pattern</a>.  But, before I painted that large box, I made over two smaller wooden boxes with duct tape (Duck Tape brand).  The bright, shiny colors of the tape appealed to me and they come in lots of different patterns now.  I went with a bold red and hot pink combo for the first one. </div><br /><br><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6l8daug8p4Qc0JzFkYuAfGbX36sZzFiUczI_IuulSibw4I0xmNblI7n-Ye1HnjYlo6aiJrxDEwJc0oj4Q2lkij-zBhJDn3GJtIOe2JS4adhxsT_o0yIeQTO0VriGEWDFzTwr6CFrDp7t1/s1600/Honey+We're%2BHome%2BWooden%2BBox%2BTaped.543.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6l8daug8p4Qc0JzFkYuAfGbX36sZzFiUczI_IuulSibw4I0xmNblI7n-Ye1HnjYlo6aiJrxDEwJc0oj4Q2lkij-zBhJDn3GJtIOe2JS4adhxsT_o0yIeQTO0VriGEWDFzTwr6CFrDp7t1/s1600/Honey+We're%2BHome%2BWooden%2BBox%2BTaped.543.jpg"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2014/08/diy-wooden-box-makeover-with-duct-tape.html#more">Read more »</a>

Weekend Steals & Deals

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Happy Friday friends!  I feel so much lighter heading into this weekend with my office closet cleaned out and 3 years' worth of my son's <a href="http://bit.ly/1pH9lKE">artwork properly organized and preserved</a>.  I'll be ordering my first Artkive book this weekend and will let you know how it turns out.  Also, although I haven't posted lately on <a href="http://www.honeywerehealthy.blogspot.com/">Honey We're Healthy</a>, I have been working out again consistently and it feels great!  I've been keeping track of my workouts everyday and plan to start sharing them next week.  </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />As for the fashion finds this weekend, I received the cardigan and sweater/jacket I mentioned last week and they are keepers!</div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Painted Wooden Boxes

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />A design trend I'm seeing everywhere these days is the colorful geometric pattern.  I'm crazy for it, and have some fun notebooks that make me happy just looking at them.  I wanted to bring more geometric pattern into my life and yesterday, created a colorful, decorative box for my office.   All you need for this project is an inexpensive wooden box from the craft store, craft paint, paint brushes, painters tape, and clear enamel spray to give your box a glossy finish. <br><br /><br><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioB0ILnrnU8EeiajSCR8cMVD4hUDQkpL36hy1Davtz-X4BRkFgwhEaYl55flFsIcBhfEDJU7ShljzXhnIYknb-c6DrhlEN-52p2qyhNw5-_wiSS_i0A2YwmYX1jrs2zyDs0itnI7PkCXEU/s1600/DIY+Painted+Wooden+Box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioB0ILnrnU8EeiajSCR8cMVD4hUDQkpL36hy1Davtz-X4BRkFgwhEaYl55flFsIcBhfEDJU7ShljzXhnIYknb-c6DrhlEN-52p2qyhNw5-_wiSS_i0A2YwmYX1jrs2zyDs0itnI7PkCXEU/s1600/DIY+Painted+Wooden+Box.jpg"></a></div><br /><br></div><br /><br><br /><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2014/08/painted-wooden-boxes.html#more">Read more »</a>

Organizing & Storing Kids Schoolwork & Art

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />It's about time I got around to condensing, organizing, and preserving my son's artwork- he's 4 and, as I'm sure you can relate, has created enough art is his young life to create quite the gallery.  He's been in preschool at least part-time since he was 18 months old and every week would bring home all the art he'd created that week at school.  I kept nearly everything from 18 months to 3 years, and then when he started PK3, I knew we'd have a big problem if I couldn't let anything go, so after admiring and talking about each thing he'd made, I'd toss <i>some</i>, but kept everything else in bins.  </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNrs9-MIIKkc4MHgRTpm8Nc3K363w4kifqXMWu55Zb3dj9hrvrSdCoxnaathALh1Vc3CXR9c8Rk4ydpz0eI_vlj4ziEuygu1THyQzf9cXLL4NhdrUTXS4_V_Jx_tJZdwIjQ3pHnCsTdYmD/s1600/Honey+We're%2BHome%2BPreserve%2Band%2BOrganize%2BChildhood%2BArtwork.428.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNrs9-MIIKkc4MHgRTpm8Nc3K363w4kifqXMWu55Zb3dj9hrvrSdCoxnaathALh1Vc3CXR9c8Rk4ydpz0eI_vlj4ziEuygu1THyQzf9cXLL4NhdrUTXS4_V_Jx_tJZdwIjQ3pHnCsTdYmD/s1600/Honey+We're%2BHome%2BPreserve%2Band%2BOrganize%2BChildhood%2BArtwork.428.jpg"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2014/08/organizing-storing-kids-schoolwork-art.html#more">Read more »</a>

Fabric Organization

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />What started with wanting to get my son's artwork condensed and organized turned into a weekend full of cleaning out and organizing my office closet where things tend to accumulate until I can't even get in there, let alone find anything.  This closet is a good size and has lots of potential, but I wasn't making the most of it.  I moved my two wrapping carts into the closet because they didn't go with the calmer, more grown-up vibe I was going for in the room.  I still use them quite often (more on that later this week), but with all my mess stuffed onto the floor, I was having trouble accessing it.  Time to get in there and get organized!</div><br /><br><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8rzLv3Y5pUeDKBPtn6jqMcPdDqRngEo0JMTkopt9Jm5XSkoaPVx3dk8a2Rmtie826hNHIv9yqTwLE3nFjwUn8XgKoR6c-TP7n1Jb1Z_6QLGSsJenbqpkkR2PEqjrOIebbXMI-LplmmWx1/s1600/Honey+We're%2BHome%2BOffice%2BCloset%2BBefore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8rzLv3Y5pUeDKBPtn6jqMcPdDqRngEo0JMTkopt9Jm5XSkoaPVx3dk8a2Rmtie826hNHIv9yqTwLE3nFjwUn8XgKoR6c-TP7n1Jb1Z_6QLGSsJenbqpkkR2PEqjrOIebbXMI-LplmmWx1/s1600/Honey+We're%2BHome%2BOffice%2BCloset%2BBefore.jpg"></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />It's funny to realize I did a big office closet clean-out almost exactly one year ago and got it to the point in the picture below.  I think the back-to-school time of year causes me to want to dig into those scary places in my home (or just rework areas that need tweaking), so <span style="color: #e06666;">I'll be doing some organizing projects in the next couple weeks</span>.   I got a good start on organizing my son's artwork and that's a huge weight lifted!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2014/08/fabric-organization.html#more">Read more »</a>

Weekend Steals & Deals - 5 Dresses Under $50

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />Happy Friday friends!  I feel like we made it through a pretty big week with my son starting back to school on Wednesday and everything that goes along with it.  We are working on getting back into a good nighttime and morning routine and, although my son seems great with it, I'm pooped! I'm currently working on preserving/organizing his years of artwork that I've let pile into bins and I'll definitely be ready for a dinner out that involves a cocktail or glass of wine this weekend.  Maybe I'll wear one of the new dresses that arrived this week, I'm crazy over them!  One I had to return for a larger size . . .  Hope you find a dress you like - these are my current faves - and they're all under $50!  </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNHkcS1jKF440HMWJsqO-P8hC9yvkh7XDz9MZeeXgwY7DC-nFyVriIXQFimXCnnIsiovSDec26Gr5oOuUlYXggV_ajtXlnGohwXox1ZfcazCfOi0UOmJ_6zQgp-9LQXTH4JdDRiXPyr6xS/s1600/5+dresses+under+$50.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNHkcS1jKF440HMWJsqO-P8hC9yvkh7XDz9MZeeXgwY7DC-nFyVriIXQFimXCnnIsiovSDec26Gr5oOuUlYXggV_ajtXlnGohwXox1ZfcazCfOi0UOmJ_6zQgp-9LQXTH4JdDRiXPyr6xS/s1600/5+dresses+under+$50.jpg" width="420" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">#1 </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXTiy9EPY_Pvesh1F5VB5tuLKDXDADmRr5iMy_1AcnuPtppgB1ijLOBXNL-JyC_VXNnOkzLWHH4nrRpmaP0oVs1yeXjuv58IsGZur3YOVYXGCXk90alAGHfujWhWxlwA1fFh8w02S-IVFw/s1600/Screenshot+2014-08-14+18.35.48.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXTiy9EPY_Pvesh1F5VB5tuLKDXDADmRr5iMy_1AcnuPtppgB1ijLOBXNL-JyC_VXNnOkzLWHH4nrRpmaP0oVs1yeXjuv58IsGZur3YOVYXGCXk90alAGHfujWhWxlwA1fFh8w02S-IVFw/s1600/Screenshot+2014-08-14+18.35.48.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/1rctnPY">Soprano Stripe Skater Dress</a> ($48)<br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Talk about a comfortable, cute dress!  I was happily surprised by the material (polyester and spandex) of this dress because it has a lightweight waffly texture (I tried to show you below).  This dress and the third one below, I just got it in the mail so a quick mirror shot is all I got.  I'm wearing the XS.  I also ordered the small, which I almost kept, but I felt like this one hugged better at the top.  It also comes in blue and white stripe.  I'm already thinking of all the different ways you could accessorize this dress to bring in different colors if you want. Adding a jacket or cardigan could make it office appropriate. </div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWnx928-y93_YyUokiZv3flIA-KsIuiLys8yR5Tl5a-zy8X09mR5jqc22WGzxl0v8-YFu8YDaKWPVoQ9779bXPOpu-Fh4gliHqpgZZx_GxmVDAZvmiyrrOTMZ28kHVU0fmkd4z7wAbAk0L/s1600/Soprano+Stripe+Skater+Dress+frontback.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWnx928-y93_YyUokiZv3flIA-KsIuiLys8yR5Tl5a-zy8X09mR5jqc22WGzxl0v8-YFu8YDaKWPVoQ9779bXPOpu-Fh4gliHqpgZZx_GxmVDAZvmiyrrOTMZ28kHVU0fmkd4z7wAbAk0L/s1600/Soprano+Stripe+Skater+Dress+frontback.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkxdZPWzuoIufo3Ouxfgut9h05WQwdOhJNMxqxFDeKrqQkzEdt_Rz_C0thAViu1Qk2DGlVUA2feWUPf5B_o7XGP48RVFlqyfaXiB_yqaUtfy4B-suGx2q5k6rq-1L8qzMtRTe-FSaxnEM1/s1600/IMG_3643.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkxdZPWzuoIufo3Ouxfgut9h05WQwdOhJNMxqxFDeKrqQkzEdt_Rz_C0thAViu1Qk2DGlVUA2feWUPf5B_o7XGP48RVFlqyfaXiB_yqaUtfy4B-suGx2q5k6rq-1L8qzMtRTe-FSaxnEM1/s1600/IMG_3643.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">#2</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6f9viTSPNNI-GmlNTlrqrmoL2G3IrDKiqv173xuPfS9aLAGk5LjOx0aS4albKI93EJSQEgXplHaWCgEz1rqL1PyRvGTdG1zsCbMUqaXDwUyNtPz_e8F63dzTLRxy63g9f2C6X8Dd8PMpr/s1600/Screenshot+2014-08-14+10.50.33.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6f9viTSPNNI-GmlNTlrqrmoL2G3IrDKiqv173xuPfS9aLAGk5LjOx0aS4albKI93EJSQEgXplHaWCgEz1rqL1PyRvGTdG1zsCbMUqaXDwUyNtPz_e8F63dzTLRxy63g9f2C6X8Dd8PMpr/s1600/Screenshot+2014-08-14+10.50.33.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/Y6ndUt">Lush Kendal Floral Print Surplice Wrap Dress</a> ($46)<br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />I featured this dress last week and discovered that the XS was too tight on top, so I've exchanged it for a small.  The XS fit if I was standing still with my arms at my sides, but was tight when I moved.    But, the website said it runs large and recommends if you are between sizes, order one size down.  I'll show you the small on me when it arrives- should've just ordered two to begin with!  I adore the pattern and style of this dress.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">#3</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6lrZ2SmN5hOxrUp4iRld2Pn7oulVwnMvQSwXjkgYe9INf1Jk72r_k7DxIqPNJcFQCpxG-Mls7m2mnmm3DEqms1FN6RM5_2nw_mLsryHa55oqKElbOQfJOPVfcUgFdZFON_dtC-SQze5ko/s1600/Screenshot+2014-08-14+18.34.09.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6lrZ2SmN5hOxrUp4iRld2Pn7oulVwnMvQSwXjkgYe9INf1Jk72r_k7DxIqPNJcFQCpxG-Mls7m2mnmm3DEqms1FN6RM5_2nw_mLsryHa55oqKElbOQfJOPVfcUgFdZFON_dtC-SQze5ko/s1600/Screenshot+2014-08-14+18.34.09.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://bit.ly/VoiyvJ">Lush Ruffle V-Neck Skater Dress</a> ($46)<br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />This is a fun dress!
