Day 45 of 57: From Nashville, with love

    Day 45 of 57 Days of Dresses. My last Nashville photo set at a random street corer of north 2nd Ave. and Peabody Street. What are the chances?
    No fancy story. No exciting adventure. I just got done from my lunch shift at the Hard Rock and Jason picked me up. If I recall, we we're going to do anything special. I think we just went home!
    Well, I didn't think that this was going to be my last Nashville photo set, but now we move boldly into the future--and see what new dresses I have in store!
    This is a vintage A-line dress I found in the sale bin of Local Honey (I miss you, Local Honey. And you too, Diamond Star Halo Vintage). What a find! It was only like 5 bucks or something equally as cut-rate!
    The dress has multi-color pinstripes and shoulder button detail that scream 1982. The short sleeve are slightly belled, and the dress has a removable waist tie. The dress is flattering with the at-the-knee skirt. So long, Nashville, and thanks for all the fish.

day 28 of 57: My dress, lolipop!

     On day 28 of 57 Days of Dresses I got out of work late, and didn't feel like cooking, so off to Rosepepper's we go! Dinner was awesome, and we got a prime parking spot right outside of the front door. The wait was just long enough for us to do a sidewalk photo shoot in front of this interesting window art right by the entrance. We're still trying to get the hang of the backlight flash on my camera, but it's coming along okay!
    This is a fabulous '80s vintage A-line dress Jason got me at a vintage boutique in Memphis. I love this dress. The diagonal pastel stripes are so feminine, and totally flattering. It has an elastic waist with side belt loops, which I have a skinny brown leather belt looped through it. The 3/4 bell sleeves have a pearlesque button securing each cuff, allowing the bell sleeve to drape over it. The dress also sports a boat neck with three pearlesque buttons detailing the left shoulder. Yay for candy-colored stripes!
