You guys remember when I purchased this vintage dress from the Salvation Army? It was initially bought for my LA trip to see a taping of Oprah's final post Oscar show. But the weather was a bit crisp so she stayed packed away in my luggage. Well I finally got around to wearing it five months later.A lime green dress with shoulder pads sounds all wrong but it's the details that make this frock so fun: draping at the waist, deep v-neck and paisley like print.

My schedule can be unpredictable but there are two things in life that are {usually} guaranteed on a Sunday: church and brunch. A relaxing brunch is the perfect way to unwind before beginning another work week.

This week I caught up with my friend Johara from Luvin' My Curves and we decided to hit up Kitchenette in Tribeca. The restaurant's known for its down home cooking.I wanted a ladylike frock that was church appropriate but also comfy for the near 90 degree temps, so rocked the little white dress I recently picked up from the Salvation Army.But first, let's talk about the food, which was beyond amazing.
