Strawberries, Pears and a Coke! The Caranday Cause!

The Berry Months Dress could in fact be my favorite dress. 

But it's not possible to make a decision with so many dresses that qualify as my favorite.

Does that make sense?

Keiko of Keiko's TanPoPo has been worried about me.  She sent an email last night expressing her concern over my lack of posts. It's really very simple.  I kept forgetting my Camera.

Please visit my lovely Friend Keiko. She is celebrating her one year Blog Anniversary with a Giveaway that is the perfect accessory for the Take Action Dress.

My friend Joni recently won a bid for Anthro's Caranday Dress by Corey Lynn Calter on eBay. Who doesn't love the Caranday Dress.  She did everything right.  She communicated with the Seller many times during the transaction. The Seller even went so far as to leave Joni positive feedback. Joni also received tracking for the dress. But the dress was never delivered, along with a Snake Bite Belt.  Joni jumped right back on the eBay bus in true Pollyanna style. She replaced the Belt, but as you may know, Caranday's are in high demand.

Berry Months Dress + Orla Kiely's Pear Tote + CocaCola Vending Machine = I Prefer Pepsi Myself

My J Crew Jackie in Cerise arrived an entire month early.  When I looked up the definition of Cerise (I don't need another Orange Cardi) it was described as Red.  Say hello to my umpteenth Orange Cardigan.  But since I don't have an Orange Jackie, I'll keep it.

I have taken up the Caranday Cause for Joni.  I will continue to Post this APB until a dress is found.  Please contact Joni at (jcpollyanna@cox.net) if you spot a size 2 Caranday in Red or Green. 

If it wasn't for Anthro's Limoncello Necklace and Orla Kiely's Pear Print Tote, I would look like Christmas in August.

I picked up a couple of very cute lace trimmed shorts at Modcloth to wear under my dresses.  I can't stand getting into a 120 degree car and having my legs stick together. Yuck!  These are nylon and so far do not get damp.  And the lining of my dress doesn't cling either.  Anthro Closet Chaos Tested - Laura Approved.  One Size Fits All and Non Returnable. Ivory are OOS.

I suggest hand wash line dry if you want them to last
