New year, new direction

Hello everyone!  It's so good to be back!  I had a wonderful break but there is always something so comforting about getting back into a routine, isn't there?

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year!  We went to our friends' house and it was a small party of 6 adults and 3 adorable babies.  They all had their first new year together!  We had a very low key night which was just perfect and then on Saturday my in laws and sister in law came over to celebrate.  So here is my outfit for New Year's eve - again it was a quiet evening so I decided to keep it simple, but festive.  I really wanted to wear sequins but was worried the babies would want to munch on me! lol


I was THRILLED that this dress fits again - it's my basic LBD and I love it so!

Blazer - JCrew, Dress - Calvin Klein, Belt - so old I forgot, Tights - HUE, 
Shoes - Not Wanted, Necklace - gifted, Bracelets - Pandora and Judith Ripka

So since we are in a new year, I have been thinking about the direction I want to take my blog.  Since I left my job to stay home with the nut I have had the opportunity to explore hobbies of mine that had taken a back seat when I was working.  So in addition to outfit posts, I am going to be adding posts on my sewing and knitting projects, delicious meals I cook (at least I HOPE they taste good!), cute baby finds, home decor inspiration and, of course, I will be continuing my "Gal Friday" posts!  It's going to get crazy up in here!!  

Speaking of My Gal Friday, I am looking for some FABULOUS peeps to feature.  If you are new to my blog click HERE for more information, and if you are interested in being featured (which would make me SOO happy!), email me at dressingmommy@gmail.com!

Here's to a fun and fabulous 2011!!
