Day 44 of 57: Will you, won't you?

    On day 44 of 57 Days of Dresses, Jason and I had a late dinner at the Wild Hare. I got champagne in a can! With a straw! I didn't even know champagne in a can was a real thing, but there I was, drinking Sofia Coppola--it looked like a kid's drink.

     The room we were seated in was like a closet. But, there was no one else in there so Jason and I got up and danced to "Ball and Chain" from 40oz to Freedom--like me and my old roomie Megan Re used to.
    We had a smashing good time in what appeared to be the high-chair and booster seat storage room. The room had a rustic painted-white stone wall and a checkered floor, so why not push our antics even further and do a photo shoot?
    This is a dress I got from Anthropologie as a gift from Jason's mom. It's a tea length circle dress, and for some reason it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.
     The sleeveless bodice has an attached sash that ties in the back, and the back is also accented with three white buttons columned down the middle. The skirt is lined with a decorative underslip, and it does great filled out with a crinoline petticoat. The dress has a side zipper, and the two side pockets on this dress are the cherry on top.

Day 30 of 57: Plaid dress and high socks

    On day 30 of 57 Days of Dresses my girlfriend Erin and I went to a way cool house show with awesome bands entertaining throughout the night. The show went down in a seedy basement that opened up to a spacious back yard. I saw this dank corner and fell in love with it! Many thanks to Dallas for taking these photos for me!
    This is a sweet little mini shirt dress I got at Urban Outfitters. The non-traditional tartan plaid consists of blues, green and magenta. The dress has a empire waist with princess seams and ties in the back. The circle skirt falls and moves nicely, and the dress has full front button closure. What a nice little dress!

Please ignore my pit sweat. It was absolutely sweltering in that basement!

 

day 29 of 57: Native charm

    Today is day 29 of 57 Days of Dresses, and I am past the halfway mark of my dress celebration! It's been a long time coming, and I still have a long way to go. By the time classes start this fall I'll be more than happy to wear my most comfortable pair of pants. Who knows, maybe I'll even start wearing jumpers and rompers, just because I'm so in lust for pants.
    Anyways, On the other side of my apartment building's parking lot there's a gnarly growth of wild sour grapes, wild passion fruit (the inedible variety, unfortunately) and orange trumpet flowers. What a convenient place for some photos?
    This darling dress is a vintage piece I got at Karma Rags in Huntsville, AL. It's a circle dress with a fabulous Native American/ Southwestern-inspired pattern. The dress has bell sleeves with lace trim, a seamed waistline and a back zipper. The U-neck is adorned with pleated ruffles that go around the entire neck. The the circle skirt has a wide hem and a ruffly exposed seam that goes around it. This is a wonderful and comfortable dress that feels great to wear.

day 21 of 57: Halter dress field study

     Today is day 21 of 57 Days of Dresses - almost to the halfway mark! Jason and I were in the mood for a jaunt at the Percy Warner park, and came across this enchanted field. Good thing we had the camera, because it was just the place for today's dress.
    I have on a fabulous halter dress I got at this great little vintage/ used boutique called Karma Rags in Huntsville, AL.The fabric is white with a pink floral pattern on it. Spaghetti halter straps ties in the back and the bodice has 4 large white functioning buttons that go down to a banded empire waist. The full circle skirt hits right above the knee. The back has a zip closure. I like to set off the waist with a wide waist belt. This is a great day dress, and can function well for low-key summer night time events too. Long live halter dresses!
