It was too hot to wear my hair down so I twirled it into a slick bun. I was feeling like a rock star in this outfit! The thick straps on this dress is really different. That was what I liked about it when I purchased it. I love these strapped heels, I can wear them with anything. My evening ended with a coffee appointment at Starbucks. I had a great time catching up… with one of my great friends…no kids and no husbands ;)
