Such A Sucker

I am such a sucker for a good J. Crew Factory dress. They are always a great price and the quality is on par with J. Crew. So when I saw this cute seersucker dress for under $30 I knew it would be a perfect summer staple. And boy was I right! I have worn it 3x already! The back ties but still allows me to wear a bra and it doesn’t show. I highly recommend picking this one up before summer’s over. You’ll thank me later. It also comes in fire red which is so cute too!

On July 1st, the state of Georgia passed a “No Cellphone Usage” while driving law. And I have not abided by it, at all. I am so guilty of pulling up to a stoplight and changing the music or replying to a text. Well on Thursday, I got caught. I was texting (or maybe looking at Instagram), while at a red light and a police officer pulled up right next to me and turned on his lights. I smiled, waved and put down my phone only for him to ask me to roll down my window. He in his police voice said that I was in violation of the no cell phone law and that it was a $400 ticket.

As I was taking my lecture, my 3 year old is in the back yelling “HELLO Mr. Policeman!” and waving frantically. I nicely interrupted him to ask if I could roll down my window because my toddler wanted to say hi. He was so excited to see him that it was basically impossible for the officer to give me a ticket at that point. So, I got off with a warning. Bonus for having kids. 

So I have been driving without looking at my phone and it’s so hard! I didn’t realize how much I do it when I am stopped. It’s kind of a blessing that this happened because it’s so not safe and I really don’t want to have to pay $400. My husband may kill me!

  1. haha! I’m so glad your son saved you from the ticket! $400 is a lot. We have a similar law in Virginia and it has been really difficult for me to break the habit too, but I know it’s for the best. This dress is just darling! I am a sucker for Factory dresses too and this one is so perfect for summer!

  2. Definitely a great reminder to stay off your phone -just the thought of having to pay $400 would be enough for me not to use it LOL!! Loving the seersucker – it’s perfect for summer! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston

  3. Cute dress and thank goodness you got a warning! I hate having to pay a ticket or fine – $400 could buy a lot of clothes, lol!!!

  6. The SAME THING happened to me the weekend that law rolled out here in CA. I was at a light looking at my phone, police guy on a motorcycle roll up and tells me to roll down my window. I lied (don’t tell my Mom!) and said I was just changing the music from my phone. He let me go, and boy did I learn my lesson. It’s a hard law to follow…but saves lives, so worth it 🙂

  7. OMG how funny that the kiddo got you out of a ticket! I probably should look into what the MA phone laws are because that’s a HUGE fine! This seersucker dress is just the cutest–perfect for summer!

  9. I’m a sucker for seersucker (hehe) and this dress has such a flattering shape and it so cute! I’m glad you only got a warning on your phone! We have the same law in Florida and it was SO hard to abide by at first!

  12. First of all, LOVE that dress- quintessential summer! Secondly, WOW that law is strict. Part of me understands it- but part of me is like, “But at a red light? C’mon now.” I’m so glad you got a warning!
