Before I get into my weekend happenings, I need to talk to you about what I'm deeming the "curious case of the stanky dress". Y'all. Please consider this a PSA. I went to Target yesterday to pick up my Tone It Up groceries for the week and naturally, I also bought some shiz I didn't need. One item I purchased was a dress on clearance. This morning I was running late per usual so I threw my new dress on and ran out the door.
About 30 seconds into my drive to work I notice this horrendous B.O. smell and sniff the dress. Legit, I could have thrown up right then and there. I'm almost positive green fumes were and still are permeating off this dress. And as I type this post, I am engulfed in the stench of stale B.O. to the point of nausea. Clearly some dirty beezie wore this dress sans deodorant in 100 degree Texas weather, returned it to Target and I was the lucky shopper who bought it.
I don't know if I'm more mad at Target for selling this, the girl for not wearing deodorant or myself for NOT WASHING IT before I wore it. Let this be a lesson ladies: sniff your clothing before buying.
In happier news, I spent my weekend hawking jewels! You know, those Stella and Dot ones I sell.
Friday the Fall Stella and Dot line debuted, which I'm sure you saw me tweeting and instagramming about to the point of annoyance. Sorry friends, but I was excited. I LOVE the new line and will be blogging about what I ordered at some point this week.
My Stella and Dot party Saturday was at my best guy friend's sister's house (say that fast 3 times) who was also having a post-fourth of july BBQ. There was lots of good food and backyards fireworks! Pics below.

I guess since I'm a "city girl", I have never seen legit fireworks set off anywhere but at a city fireworks show. Who knew you could make your own fireworks show in your backyard if you live in the country?

In between the BBQ I consumed on the actual 4th of July and the food I put in my belly at the post-4th of July party, I fell off the Tone It Up wagon last week. However, I am back on track today. I'm currently snacking on my Greek yogurt and blueberries.
