day 41 of 57: Jump street

    On day 41 of 57 Days of Dresses my mom and I went to lunch at Jamaciaway, then hit up the Andy Warhol exhibit at the Frist. The silver mylar baloon exhibit is the coolest installation I've ever walked into. We both really enjoyed it, and the we went to mÄmbu for diner later on. I wanted to wear something that looked like I was going to the Factory, so what better than something polka-dot and something bold?
    So, I wore two green dresses in a row, but now two jumper dresses in a row? You better believe it. This is a red jumper dress that I got at Thriftsmart for a few bucks. It's a bold burgundy red that buttons in the front. The skirt falls slightly above the knee and the sleeveless bodice has a plunged V-neckline. The sleeveless straps are attached to suspenders that button to the scooped back. I'm wearing a polka-dot shirt underneath and polka-dot vintage pumps. With Debbie Harry and Liza Minnelli as my backdrops, this dress is beyond rad.

day 40 of 57: Green with thumbs

    So today is day 40 of 57 Days of Dresses: only 17 dresses left in my almost 2 month long celebration of this wonderful garment. Today was a hot day of errand-running with my mom - by the way, my mom's visiting me from Connecticut, and she'll be here until the end of the month - enjoying activities like laundry doing, grocery shopping, bill paying, and all the other little things that make the world go round. By the end of it all, the last thing I had to do was water my lovelies on the balcony. As much as I appreciate their wild and lush beauty, I can't wait for their winter dormancy, because it is hot out. The roses attract humming birds though, and it's really cool to have a humming bird hoover two feet away from you while watering the plants. They're so tiny. Anyways, I digress.
    I know I said I don't have many green dresses, so what are the odds that I wear two green dresses in a row? I know, that's what I though. This is an awesome jumper sun dress (AKA, "pinafore" for our British friends) I got from Tiffany Minton at a swap party I had earlier this year. It's a cute little micro mini that's green with white hearts. The straps has big white heart buttons in the front, and the skirt has two pockets patched on it. It has a retro/ vintage-inspired style and it's very light and comfortable. The dress is sleeveless and has a square neck and back. Thanks, Tiff, for not wanting this dress anymore, because I love it!
