My Lucky Charm

Sequins on my collar + on my sweater = Marion has gone Vegas y'all!

 No...not really!  Just me with a little St. Patty's Day Spirit.  
But I'm still looking for my lucky charm...where is he?

White Collared Blouse - BCBG
Green Sweater - BCBG
Belt - Forever 21 (available in stores)
Jeans - Paige Denim
Shoes - Kelly & Katie
Watch - Michael Kors (Purchase HERE)

Oh!  There he is!  My mini lemon beagle Bogey!


No seriously...he IS my lucky charm.  
Bogey is responsible for introducing me to my husband.  


I was walking through the lobby of my building in Portland on my way outside to take Bogey on a walk.  Suddenly, my concierge stops me saying, "Marion!  I need to introduce you to J!"  Umm, okay.  So I look upwards underneath my baseball cap and see this handsome man...immediately I retreat.  It's what shy girls do.  


Until he starts talking to me and I find myself talking back to him.  Then he asks what my dog's name is and I reply, "Oh, this is Bogey!"  J literally takes a step backward and his face is filled with shock.  He then proceeds to tell me that he was a professional golfer and his dog is named "Caddy!"


Needless to say it was love at first talk.


Husband and I in the EXACT location where we first met.  
And yes...I do realize my leash is wrapped around my lucky charm's leg :)

What is your lucky charm?!

Love this story!! You and your husband make a gorgeous couple!

Hmmm, I have had some pretty amazing luck lately, but I'm not sure what my lucky charm is!

Marion said...

@ Judy - Ha! I guess I should say it's a big blog-type of an announcement. :-) So nothing to do with maternity clothes unfortunately...

@ Leigh - Thanks friend!! :-)

XO - Marion

That story about how you guys met is so cute and I love how Bogey played a big role in it!

That story is so sweet (and is probably one of the best "how we met" I've heard to date!) Pat Bogey on the head for me and Miles, my beagle.
I love the green skinny belt peeking out from your belt loops. This is such a fun festive outfit for the green theme!

That is the sweetest story! It sounds like it should come out of a book and not real life. So cool it happened to you. And your dog is adorable. - Katy

Sweetest. Story. Ever!!!!! And you look soooo cute! Love the bun and the sparkles. No really....still think that story is so cute. Mine and my husbands story is sort of a comedy of errors...it leaves people thinking "WTF??" instead of yours...which leaves people saying "awwww...soooo sweet!!" But whatever works, right?? :)
