Fairy Tales are just magical, aren’t they? That’s why I was super
excited when My dear friend Suzy of Suzy Turner asked to join this month’s Fab 40s and the Tales of the Unexpected Fairy Tale theme. I was lucky enough to join this lovely group of
ladies once before and I am a huge fan of their blogs and their style and what
they bring as Fabulous 40’s ladies. I knew right away that I would want to feel
like a princess. I mean May has been the month of the Princess with the royal
wedding nine days ago. I was thinking something along the lines of Cinderella,
Rapunzel and with this dress shape, maybe even a bit of The
Little Mermaid thrown in.
This Wayf Penelope Dress stole my heart
from the very beginning. The marble ice color is just soooo Good!
The Platinum Nickel and Suede earrings are a favorite of mine and I had to wear a black choker like Cinderella.
My sweet oldest son took these photos in our woods right after a rain where we both endured numerous mosquitoes bites..fashion sacrifices I tell ya!

All Modern Day versions of course..a cross between Blake Lively’s Cinderella
dress and as Suzy reminded me, the Johnny Depp version of Cinderella.

Oh, how I have missed you!! We're HOME! Cinderella is my favorite princess, too, but I didn't get to see her this time on our visit to Disney! I had to BEG Alise to meet Ariel, which was always her favorite when she was in "Princess Mode." Love that gorgeous dress and you as well! Lookin' good, Sista! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning dress. You are a real life dreamy princess- I love it! Hope you’re enjoying your weekend. 😘
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty!! You do look like Cinderella. I think this one would make a great dinner dress. Love the color too. I see a slight hue of lavender.
ReplyDeleteLisa
What a fun theme. I love all of these takes, but yours especially. You do look like a modern day Cinderella! <3
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteEven without the narrative, Andrea, I knew immediately you were letting your inner Cinderella come out to play the moment I laid eyes upon your picture. Does that tell you how much I adore it? :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely beautiful! I hope y'all go out for a fancy date night just so you can wear that out!
ReplyDeleteSarah at MeetTheShaneyfelts
Look at you! You are absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou are a princess, Andrea!!!

That'a a great dress! I'll be joining you in the 40s later this year...
ReplyDeleteYou are the perfect Cinderella! I love your beautiful look and your gorgeous background. Both were positively perfect for this month's theme. So glad you were able to join us again, Andrea!
ReplyDeleteYou have just reinvented how I define Fairytale Princess!

ReplyDeleteA Fairytale Princess - perfect description of what you look like. Just stunning and oh, so lovely.
ReplyDeleteNOTE: Blogger has screwed up mine and many other bloggers and made us "no reply" and also we're not getting our comments through our email. Have mercy, so aggravating. My blog designer says they should have it fixed shortly and one would only hope so. Those "cookie things" they did caused all of it. They need to stay out of our business. :o))
What a wonderful dress, Andrea! You look absolutely stunning as Cinderella :)
ReplyDeleteOH MY STARS...you are a real life Fairytale Princess!! You blow Cinderella out of the water, HANDS DOWN! From the backdrop, to the dress to your hair...all of it is SO perfect and so on theme (which I love!!). Can't wait to check out these other fabulous ladies too. Thanks for introducing all of us! Happy Memorial too, babe!!

Absolutely stunning! The hubs better be taking you out somewhere fancy in that dress. Gorgeous and it totally fits the fairy tale theme --as does your forest-y background! My daughter did the black choker with her prom gown like Cinderella too!
ReplyDeleteThis post/theme idea is SO FUN! And you seriously look like a princess! That dress and these photos of you are just GORGEOUS!

You look just like Cinderella!!! I love it! Totally worth the mosquito bites ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, just beautiful. I love every detail. You look like a gorgeous princess! Hope your weekend was magical!
ReplyDeleteYou are rocking that dress! I love this super glam look on you!
ReplyDeleteI love how you included those two other pics of two other Cinderellas. You look right at home nestled between the two other beauties. Your dress and your presence is just gorgeous. I wish I could have borrowed this dress for the ball I attended last Friday night.
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun to "meet" you Andrea!
Love, Ann from Kremb de la Kremb
Wow! You are a dead ringer for Cinderella! This just reminds me I need to send you and email because I want you to be the guest for Ageless Style on my month....of course first I need to see what month that actually is. lol...crazy town over here.
ReplyDeleteYou look so beautiful and what a fun blogger collaboration! Your son did great with these pictures but yikes about the mosquitos!! They are so horrible this time of year. Sierra Beautifully Candid

ReplyDeleteOkay, good. Chrome worked but Safari was acting all weird. Oh my goodness. You look DREAMY in this beautiful dress and truly like a princess. Taking the pics in the woods was genius and worth the mosquito bites in my opinion. So beautiful!!! XO
