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 31 of 57: What a dress!

    So on day 31 of 57 Days of Dresses I made vegetarian gumbo with my best girl, and fellow non-meat eater, Erin. It was 5 long hours of chopping vegetables, blanching tomatoes, washing dishes and building up a delicious summer stew! All the while I was doing it in style, wearing my awesome dress! Kudos to my best girl Erin for taking these picture for me after a hard, long evening in the kitchen. Tomorrow we're going to can the gumbo as well!
    This is a dress I got from Free People, and it is a sleeveless dress with the best pattern on it. It has a beautiful pattern, with contrasting floral design, pinstripes and pinhead polka dots. The scalloped boarders and the horizontal lines are really an aesthetic pleasure for the eyes. It has a U-neck, and the lace-up detail in the front is cute too. This dress also has pockets - 10 points! The skirt is cut like a shirttail, and the wide elastic waist (I like to set it off with a solid black waist belt) allows for the bodice to cascade over, creating a slouchy, unkempt look. I'm really happy I got this dress.

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!

Day 13 of 57: You can call them strips, but I like to call them Parallel Lines

    Day 13 of 57 Days of Dresses is Parallel Lines. Please don't leave me "Hanging On The Telephone," because "One Way Or Another" "I Know But I Don't Know." Maybe it's because I'm just a "Sunday Girl," but what I really want to know is "Will Anything Happen?" to our love. "Pretty Baby", can't we just "Fade Away And Radiate"? I mean, "Picture This": it's "11:59" and I told you "I'm Gonna Love You Too"! Please, don't tell me to "Just Go Away" or else you'll break my "Heart Of Glass". Boo-hoo.
    This dress is a gorgeous stripped mini-dress with ruched sides on the bottom of the skirt and a scrunched elastic waist. I got it on sale at Urban Outfitters. It's gray and cream strips and it has a plunged V-neck with solid gray trim. I have the scrunched waist set off with a skinny red belt, which helps accentuate the loose drape of the top. The dress is comfortable and great for day or night! Dress it up with heels or dress it down '80s style with tennis sneakers.
