Date night dress
When it comes to ordering clothing online I am always a little unsure. I have to tell you that this fit me just right. I ordered and XL. The sizing stated that it would be a size 10 I think in american sizes. I wear a size 13-15 in jeans depending on who makes them. We all know that no two pairs of jeans fit us the same. I wear a large top because I am a little heavy in the chest area I wear a 36 D when it comes to bras. If it wasn't for my shoulders and chest I would have been able to fit a large no problem. I am 5'5 and half bare feet in height and the dress came just above the floor. I would be able to wear a flat pair of shoes with it or heels with out issues.
The dress is almost like 2 dresses in one. You have the underneath dress that is the cream/white color. It has a silky feeling to it so it flows really nice. The second outer dress is the black lace. It is a little thicker that when you think of sheer lace. That means its not a "delicate" as sheer lace.
It comes with a swooped neck line, so I did not have to worry about showing a lot of cleavage if I wanted to be covered. The empire waste line helps conceal and belly issues that I have had because of having children. The empire waste line does make me look a little bigger than I normally am, but it covers all the imperfections so its a win in my book. There is a removable stretchy belt. I chose not to wear it because it has a built in "belt" that is actually part of the design of the dress.
There is a zipper that runs all the way down the back to the top of the buttocks area, it is hidden with a little flap of material so you really can't notice it unless you are looking for it. I personally did not need the zipper, I was able to pull it on and off with out any issues. This dress is perfect for any time that I need to dress up. I wish I had more reasons to dress up because I like it so much! If you would like to order this dress you can do so, HERE .
Full Framed sunglasses
I really love these glasses. I am a fan of the big sun glasses look, but these were a little bigger than even I expected. They cover half of my face tehehe. I love the vintage look of these glasses. I live in Florida and that is one of the big reasons I love large glasses. I not only like to protect my eyes from the harsh sun, but I like to protect the skin around my eyes from the sun as well. I want to look young when I am in my 60's lol. These come with a nice hard zippered case to keep them protected. I really liked the case because I am always buying cheep sun glasses and then toss them in my purse and they get scratched and I always tell myself to pick up a case to protect them and never do. These saved me from "forgetting" to do that.
The construction of these glasses are really nice. The arms are thin and do not get tangled in my hair like some wider ones do. The screws were tight and the arms do not wiggle. The lenses are also dark I was surprised at how dark they really were when I put them on. They will be great for those bight summer days here when the sun seems to burn holes into everything! I would recommend these to anyone wanting a nice pair of large framed sun glasses! If you would like to have your own set you can get them Here .
amazing solar lights
I really like these solar lights. I redid my gardens and I wanted a way to light them up at night. I have bought cheaper lights and they did not give me the lit up effect that I wanted. I was thinking that I would have to run electric lights to my garden but I really didn't want to spend the money that an electrician would want. I figured I would give these a shot.
They arrived very fast and had to be assembled. Assembly was super easy it only took one "screw" it has a cap on it that you tighten with your fingers. Then the plastic stake slides into the bottom of it to place into the ground. These lights can also be wall mounted and comes with the screws that you would need to wall mount it. The light pivots and so does the solar panel so you can position it exactly as you would need it.
There is a switch on the under side of the solar panel that you can turn it on and off as needed. There are two different light settings, low and high. I wish I can tell you how many hours that they stay lit up, but I always end up asleep before the lights go out, so to me they last as long as I need them, and that is several hours of darkness. Over all I am really pleased with these lights! I do have to advise you that the first night I used them they did not seem to get that bright and I did not realize that there is a "plastic" material that coated the solar panel that when I was looking at them the next morning to re position them for better lighting(because my garden is shaded most of the day, they only get morning light) is when I noticed it on them and pealed it off. That night the light was much brighter! If you want a set of these amazing lights you can get them HERE .
