Blue + Yellow Aztec {Plus A Little Rant}

4/17/2014

I want to start off this post by apologizing for two things. First, I'm sorry I didn't comment back on any one's comments last night. I hate not responding and I always feel like such a jerk when I don't but I had a bit of a crazy night. Second, I want to apologize for not editing these pictures at all for the same reason. I should have had this post more put together and ready to go before last night but I procrastinated (like always) and then had some issues come up so now I'm scrambling. To give you a bit of background on last night, it started out with me leaving work to go to the dentist for my bi-annual cleaning. Already quite possibly my LEAST favorite thing to do but I had plans to go out to dinner with my best friend on our monthly date night at Chili's after so at least I had something to look forward to. If you follow me on Instagram you already saw the ridiculous assortment of fried food we had for dinner (which is a regular occurrence for us any way) not to mention the wine. Near the end of dinner I get a text saying "I don't want to freak you out or ruin your dinner but Novie was attacked by the neighbor's dog" *Commence freak out now* My friend was awesome and immediately was like "Ok, you need to go now" and kinda took charge of things because of course I'm absolutely freaking out, I'm about 40 minutes away from my dog and I don't know how bad it is. 38 agonizing minutes later (and a frantic phone call to my mom) I finally get to see my fur baby in all his heavily medicated glory. He's going to be ok, thankfully, and I realize it could have been MUCH worse than it was but I'm still beyond angry, upset and frustrated with my neighbor. There is a leash law in the county I live in so it's against the law for any dog to be off a leash and of course her 70 lb dog was off a leash (keep in mind, my dog is 15 lbs and WAS on a leash on my front porch when the attack took place). I made her pay Novie's vet bill, which she agreed upon but not without massive attitude, but the thing that really gets me is that she never even apologized. What kind of person doesn't apologize for their dog attacking another to the point of it needing to go to the vet? I apologize when Novie growls at someone! I definitely learned that class, tact and manners are NOT her strong suit. </end rant>
Ok, now on to the outfit. I got this dress on a random impulse buy from Target. I went in for one specific thing and left with $50 worth of stuff, as always, and this dress was part of my haul. At first I was iffy about the bottom since it has two slits up the front and it's partially sheer at the bottom (not usually my style) but I'm obsessed with the colors and the pattern so I went with it. I decided to go kinda casual and wear it with a pair of black wedges and super minimal jewelry. Keeping it casual and cool :)
Thanks for listening to my rant and I hope you guys forgive me for being a bad follow up blogger. I promise I won't make a habit of it!
