Hello! I set my alarm for 6:16am this morning and started my day with a nice little walk. I needed a little quiet time with my thoughts (and to ease my nerves about today’s events!).
It’s Pancake Sunday! You know I celebrated…
Then, I got started on a complete make-over. It took a long time. Hair, make-up, new dress. Check, check, check.
This the the Cynthia Rowley dress I got yesterday at Marshall’s for $30. I love the color, but I’m not a fan of pockets on dresses. It doesn’t work with my shape. Maybe I’ll change my mind by the end of the day?
What’s all the fancy-ness for?
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter has invited me to the Toast to the Red Carpet Live show today!
You can watch it live on Facebook today at 6pm EST/3pm PST

Okay, my driver is here (they sent a car?! this is so cool). See ya later!
Catching up on my ‘reader and I had to comment – that dress looks great on you! Perfect color and it looks like a great fit from the photos, I love the waist – and you can totally pull off the pockets!
I am several days late because like a few other commenters, my computer wont load your page for days at a time 🙁 It wont load on my phone either, not sure what the problem is. Anyway, you look ROCKIN! LOVE the pockets! That color is fantastic on you.
Love the dress & shoes!

You are cray cray. That dress is adorable and you look so great!
Congratulations! You look fabulous. I love that dress on you. Great find. Have Oodles of fun!
That dress is so cute on you!!! You look beautiful !!!
That is such a cute dress! I wish I could find one with pockets. I hate clothes without pockets. Have a great time tonight! And I am totally annoyed with my computer. Your blog (and yours alone) still won’t show up! I am cheating with my Kindle Fire 😉
Why does my blog do that for you?! Bah 🙁
You look beautiful! That’s such a great color on you. And they sent a car to pick you up? I think that means you’ve officially hit the big time…
You look gorgeous in that dress. I love pockets in dresses. Hope you had a great day.
I love pockets on dresses! I swear my wedding dress will have pockets!
How fun! Hope you have a great time. I really like the dress!
I think you’ll change your mind- you look beautiful! Have fun!
You look great! I love pockets on dresses, super cute. Also I never know what to do with my hands, so pockets are a life saver for me.
Super fantastic!!!! What an awesome fun thing to be asked to do ~ its the making of a new career:) You look fab and the shoes and colors all work awesome!!!!
Girl you look FAB. have so much fun and a drink for me!
You look great, Monica! Have fun at the fancy shmancy event!
You look so red carpet worthy!!
You look so cute in that dress!! HAVE FUN!!
6:16- not 6:15, not 6:20… haha. Not that I should talk- I wake up at 5:54 on weekdays.
And pockets are the BEST. I feel that if the dress is made right you shouldn’t see them anyway. And I probably wouldn’t have even noticed yours until you stuck your hands in them. Have fun!
That is so awesome, and I think the dress looks great on you!
you look so dang cute and i think the dress is super flattering on you. but im mad that i cant be your date. i love butter.
WHAT YOU ARE CRAZY, BITCH! pockets MAKE the dress! if a dress has pockets, i am 86% more likely to buy it, and i will spend approximately 32% more than i would if it did not have pockets. yes. same goes for sweat pants with pockets. i am a pocket monster. also, the dress looks REALLY cute on you. #justsaying
You’re a pocket monster because you’d fit inside my pocket 🙂
You look so pretty Monica! Lol complimenting a stranger feels a little weird, but I admire you and follow your blog diligently. You’re real, funny and overall a great person 🙂 You need to give yourself more credit coz you are really pretty, seriously don’t sweat the target goal you are trying for, you are beautiful; Ben, who we know is a smart guy, knows he is lucky to have a kick ass person like youreself!
You look fantastic! Rock it today!
You look stunning!!! Have a wonderful time!
You look super cute in that dress. Love the color, and the pockets. It’s a keeper. Have fun!
I don’t like pockets adding bulk to my hips either. I usually cut them out and sew up the opening.
That dress looks SO fantastic on you – do not get rid of it!!!
You look so pretty! The dress fits your perfectly. Have a great time!
I think the dress (pockets and all) looks gorgeous on you!
I think the pockets totally work with your figure! It’s sooo nice to see you all dolled up! Not that I don’t mind the sweaty gym look 😉
Oh my goodness!! How awesome. Hope you have a great day.
That dress is super cute. I love dresses with pockets, it is a great place to hide nervous hands.
