Day 32 of 57: Black girl

    So on day 32 of 57 Days of Dresses, Erin and I finished canning the giant pot of gumbo we made last night. It yielded 12 quarts of stew - holy 10 hour process! And, once again, I did it all in style in my awesome vintage black dress. It's really been one heck of a past two days.
    I got this dress from Olivia Scibelli at a clothing swap I hosted earlier this year. It's silk and so luxurious! It has a jewel neckline and 3/4 sleeves. The waist is V-shaped and the skirt is V-shaped as well. The bodice is nicely fitted and has a back zip closure. The silk fabric itself is a matte black with a sheer black embossed floral pattern on it. What a sweet little dress!

Day 24 of 57: Mini dress a gogo

    On day 24 of 57 Days of Dresses we were on our way home, and found this awesome graffiti on the side of some building off of Commerce in downtown. Needless to say, Jason and I took advantage of this awesome wall for a photo shoot.
    This is a modified vintage '80s dress I got from Olivia Scibelli at a swap party I had at my house earlier this year. The dress is black with an awesome floral pattern on it, ruched sleeves and a gathered, lattice back. The dress features a beautiful off-the-shoulder decolletage and is lightly boned for a structured bodice. The dress has a back zipper. I'm wearing a petticoat to fill out the pleated skirt. The skirt's hemline has been modified to a mini, I'm not sure how long it was originally, but I had the raw edge hemmed up after I got it.
