Red shirt dress, Land’s EndSorry so late, but totally worth it. You’ll see why below.
I’m going to be Twitterviewed by Joel Carlson on Monday, and we shot a little video preview tonight. Whenever I know I’m going to be on camera, I generally stick to solid colors and try to wear red or magenta. And so we have one of my getting-worn-to-pieces Land’s End shirt dresses today!
Afterward, I went to my nephew’s baseball game … but I’ll level with ya. I really went so I could meet my sister-in-law’s new puppy, Bagel, the baby basset-beagle blend.
I pretty much hate Bagel. She hates me, too, as you can clearly see from these photos.
Speaking of which, kudos to Husband Mike for taking a truly awesome batch. Doesn’t he rock?
Love it! You look so gorgeous and happy. And that puppy is just adorable.
SO. CUTE.
great pictures!
I was going to write a nice, lengthy comment but — SQUEE! Baby Bagel cuteness! I pretty much want to eat her up with a spoon.
Also, I'm impressed with your ability to sit on the grass/play with the doggie in that dress. I invariably freak about ruining my clothes. I should probably look into therapy for that, hmm?
Yeah, Bagel looks like kind of a jerk… KIDDING! Bagel looks like the cutest thing of all time ever! You look so super in red. I like how you combined it with the green shoes!
isleen: Ahhh, the dress is washable! Merciful, since it's now covered in baseball diamond dirt, grass clippings, and Bagel fur.
Merciful, too, since Bagel was like a Tractor Beam of Cuteness and even if I'd been wearing spun silk, I would've been in the grass cuddling her. 😉
What a cute puppy!
Congrats on the interview. I'm really loving this power color on you — the dress is amazing!
I LOVE Bagel! You really don't him/her??
Bagel is the coolest name for a puppy EVER. I instinctively love people who give their pets interesting names. I mean, the meaning is clear: he's so cute you could just nom nom nom.
Ahem. I am woman. Hear me roar.
Awww, that puppy is pretty cute. Great pictures, too!
A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E-N-E-S-S. And, yes, it is clear that neither of you like each other at all. LOL!!!!!
These photos just got better and better! Bagel is the cutest thing that I've seen all day and your red dress is absolutely fabulous.
You can never go wrong with a great shirt dress. I see you have quite a few like myself. Cute pup too!
Your outfit is pretty darn cute, but those puppy pictures are just too adorable!!!!

Lesa: Just a little joke/sarcasm, doll!
Puppy love!!!!!!!!!!
OMG PUPPY!!!!!!
Not sure if you were even wearing clothes in this post because OMG PUPPYYYYYY!!!!!!!
I think I really need some Bagel in my life.
Awwww bagel! cuteness personified!
How did you not run off with her in your arms?!? I totally would have.
So freakin' adorable! Even though I'm not a dog person, this make me seriously want to cuddle a puppy.
I was thinking that I loved how you wore red and green without looking like Christmas and then I was reduced to squealing "Bagel!" at my computer. So. Stinkin'. Adorable.
Awww… I'm glad you posted this late because puppy pictures are a great way to start my Friday! My dachshund looked similar to this when he was a puppy, only a bit smaller, so it is taking me back!
But let's not let the gushing about the dog allow us to forget to mention how fabulous these shoes are. I especially like how they accentuate the green hues in your tattoo!

OMG these pictures are so adorable!!! <3
wow- he is the cutest!! you look great in red- seeing you sit on the grass makes me think of chiggers biting my sensitive parts!!
ADOORABLE PUP!
Also, I found this link and thought it might interest you a tiny bit, well mainly one part.

Historical Anatomies on the Web, they were done around the mid-late 1500's or so, and look at the one of the woman! Granted, if you look at the one of the "infant" it's a little odd and almost cartoony, but still. I looked at it for a long time, and then thought about how scrawny today's models look compared to that, and how I think a lot of women would put themselves down if they looked like the woman in those pictures. But I think it's absolutely beautiful!!
Actually, I just looked at that site more from other artists, most of the women from the 1500s to 1800's anatomy pictures look like that!
Hee! We have a basset hound, but he's getting into his elder years. These pictures take me back to when he was a crazy little puppy, though! They're such a sweet breed, I'm sure your SiL will be thrilled with him!
That dress is beautiful on you and I love bagel! Both the carbs and the dog!
I love that red shirtdress! It's so fresh and summery.
Plus that little Bagel is just to die for adorable! So much cuteness!!

Sal I love this dress and all your looks with it! I actually have it in black. I think its a bit big in the waist on me but I pair a wide belt with it. I can't wear a thin belt without feeling like it emphasizes my hips so much that I feel like Giant Hip Lady! And its not only this dress either, depressing bc I love the look!
And omg that puppy is too freakin' adorable! Love the ears!!!
I think that is the cutest dog in the world.
Aaww! Great pix and marvelous pup!
I'm curious that you try to wear red when you are on camera–I was told by our media people that red "bleeds" too much and not to wear red, white or black. Green can be a problem too, if there is a green screen. So I usually try to wear solids, but go with light greens or blues if at all possible. Maybe the no-red is old school?
Thoughts?
spacegeek: Hah! I'd never heard that. I avoid black, white, and busy patterns because I know they don't film well … but I wear red because it's my best color. Perhaps I should investigate more.
Puppy! That dress lookgs great on you, and Bagel is adorable.
Aaaaack!!! TOOO CUUUUUUTE!!
you look smashing in that fabulous red dress! and bagel is adorrrrrrable.
You and Bagel are too cute! And you rock all those Lands End dresses. 🙂
That puppy is quite possibly the cutest thing ever and you are quite possibly the chicest thing ever! (And I love the dichotomy of an outfit being perfect for a tv appearance AND for puppy meeting 😀
And I have to say a big huge THANK YOU to you because you put Lands End on my radar. On Wednesday, I was at a local strip mall that has a Lands End Inlet and because of your fabulous shirtdress, I stepped inside just to see if they had it available. And they had it in a size smaller than I would normally wear but it fit PERFECTLY and is just about the most fantastic dress in the world. It was like it was custom made for me. And just to gild the lily even more, the dress was an additional 25% off the sale price. *cue the sounds of angels singing the Hallelujah chorus* Sal, what would I do without you? 🙂
Oh my goodness those are just about the cutest photos! Bagel is adorable! How did you not steal him? I wouldn't have been able to put him down. Too too cute.
That dress is an amazing color on you, and I love that you brought in additional colors throughout the details of the outfit. They compliment the red perfectly. Wonderful look!
Katie K: YAY! That dress is a magical, magical being and I'm so glad you nabbed one for yourself!
Oh my – Bagel is SO CUTE!!! These are my favourite pictures that you've posted!
Love, love, love that red dress on you! And Bagel is just about the cutest thing ever. Too bad you don't have smell-ivision on your blog; I always love the way puppies smell.
Very cute pics!
Is Bagel a form of beagle? Beagles are my favorite because of my childhood dog, Ben. Ben looked like Bagel except his ears were smaller.
That is a fantastic shade of red; it really brings out the natural highlights in your hair!
Puppy love!
The camera loves you!
One word: Awwww!
I think these are the nicest pictures I've seen you post yet! You (both) look wonderful!
SO LOVE these of both of you! yes and cudos to the fine photographer too! Many thanks,
H.A.
Cute dog and name! I'm guessing BAsset and beaGLE combining to form Bagel?
Oh, love the dress too 🙂 I wish we had a Land's End here in Australia…
HOOOO it's so sweety !!
Oh. My. God. Bagel could not be cuter! EEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I just LOVE her puppy-ness! Too bad the two of you don't get along! 😉
I am not generally much of a sap but adorable puppies make me want to snuggle and make coochie-coo sounds. It's only gotten worse since I've moved to SF — dogs everywhere, and all over Dolores Park near where I live. Bagel's ears — they are so floppy and adorable!!
I can feel the hatred oozing from my monitor. 😉
