day 48 of 57: Electric Barbarella

    On day 48 of 57 Days of Dresses I had my first ladies' night out in Asheville. We went to the Orange Peel to see Wanda Jackson perform some great roots rock 'n' roll. The 74-year-old has a signature growl in her voice, and it was great to watch her perform.
    I bought this bodycon dress from a local designer at the Asheville Downtown Market. It's hand made and it came with the matching vinyl belt, which is awesome! It's hot pink with electric violet strips and piping around the short sleeve and neckline. The skirt has an unfinished hem. Nothing better than local couture!

day 46 of 57: Missed Boogie Nights

Sporting one of my hand-made feather clips.
    Day 46 of 57 Days of  Dresses: My first night out on the town since my relocating to Asheville! What could be a better way to ring in the winter edition of 57 Days? The unfortunate thing is Jason and I are accustom to Nashville's rock o'clock, so we missed near the entirety of the show we were going to.
My "Animal Wall" in our new house.
    We still had a great time meeting up with some of Jason's old friends--and my new friends--from Huntsville, and meeting new people that we'll hopefully see more of as time comes.
    This is a vintage shirt dress I bought at Goodwill in Swannanoa, NC for $5. The fuschia fabric is electric and has a matching belt with a large goldtone buckle. Pleats run the length of the bodice and end at the hips, creating rich folds in the fabric. And, this dress has pockets, which is always a bonus.
    The waist is elastic and the back of the tea-length skirt has a classy little split. The short sleeves are cuffed and the bodice has a hidden placket and a slight bat wing cut going on. The dress has a great flow to it, and I'm happy I found it. What a fabulous edition!
