Day 44 of 57: Will you, won't you?

    On day 44 of 57 Days of Dresses, Jason and I had a late dinner at the Wild Hare. I got champagne in a can! With a straw! I didn't even know champagne in a can was a real thing, but there I was, drinking Sofia Coppola--it looked like a kid's drink.

     The room we were seated in was like a closet. But, there was no one else in there so Jason and I got up and danced to "Ball and Chain" from 40oz to Freedom--like me and my old roomie Megan Re used to.
    We had a smashing good time in what appeared to be the high-chair and booster seat storage room. The room had a rustic painted-white stone wall and a checkered floor, so why not push our antics even further and do a photo shoot?
    This is a dress I got from Anthropologie as a gift from Jason's mom. It's a tea length circle dress, and for some reason it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.
     The sleeveless bodice has an attached sash that ties in the back, and the back is also accented with three white buttons columned down the middle. The skirt is lined with a decorative underslip, and it does great filled out with a crinoline petticoat. The dress has a side zipper, and the two side pockets on this dress are the cherry on top.

day 43 of 57: Bed-time Country Western

    So on day 43 of 57 we took the little rescued Shih Tzu to the Humane Association when it opened, and I went to work for the first time in nearly 2 weeks. I hope my little buddy finds his people, but if not, maybe he'll find a new home with me? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Well, After a long day of doing - I usually have long days of doing - and not making it out to my friend's show because I was just exhausted, the last thing done before tucking myself in for the night was taking pictures of the day's dress with my childhood stuffed animal friend, "Bunny"--creative name, I know.
    This is a shirt dress Jason got me at Hip Replacements in Asheville, NC. This is such a flirty little mini dress. It has a Country-Western flair that I really like. The dress is olive green with contrasting floral print that capes around the shoulder line, upper back and under the collar, and pipes along the skirt hem and the cuffs. All of the buttons also coordinate with the same floral material. The dress has a empire waist, and the bodice has 2 breast pockets. There's an exposed yellow side zipper too. All I can say is this dress is hot!

 

day 42 of 57: Boop-Oop-A-Doop

    So on day 42 of 57 days of dresses I'm tired, again, after a long day of doing! I was going to the supermarket with mom, and when we pulled up there was a very friendly but lost and dirty Shih Tzu hanging out at the entrance. I couldn't help but to help the pooch out and take him by the Humane Society in hopes that his owners were looking for him (he was wearing a collar, but it had no tag). Alas, the pound was closed for the day, so he ended up spending the night with me at my apartment. After a major bath and a botched hair cut he was ready for a night of pampered care and loving attention - he couldn't sleep in the bed though!
    After taking care of the pooch, I smelled like a wet dog, too. But, I was still in style with my black and white polka-dot halter dress. I bought this dress at a rock 'n' roll shop while I was living in Phoenix, Ariz. It's a total Betty dress, and I love it! It has an empire waist and a V-neck. The halter bodice ties back with four spaghetti straps. The back has a pleasing midway scoop, and the skirt hits just above the knee. This dress just screams summer, and that's why it's lasted in my wardrobe for 5 years.

Day 30 of 57: Plaid dress and high socks

    On day 30 of 57 Days of Dresses my girlfriend Erin and I went to a way cool house show with awesome bands entertaining throughout the night. The show went down in a seedy basement that opened up to a spacious back yard. I saw this dank corner and fell in love with it! Many thanks to Dallas for taking these photos for me!
    This is a sweet little mini shirt dress I got at Urban Outfitters. The non-traditional tartan plaid consists of blues, green and magenta. The dress has a empire waist with princess seams and ties in the back. The circle skirt falls and moves nicely, and the dress has full front button closure. What a nice little dress!

Please ignore my pit sweat. It was absolutely sweltering in that basement!

 

day 25 of 57: At-home babydoll

    On day 25 of 57 Days of Dresses, I had a long day of work, rummaging for wild feathers and crafting my latest feather clip (which I'm wearing in these pictures), so Jason and I didn't search out any exotic shoot locations. Instead, we stayed "on location" at our apartment. Yay!
    Today's dress I got as a gift from Jason's mom, and It's a flowing, tiered babydoll dress. It's a light peach-cream color and it flaunts lace detailing at the tier hems. The dress is sleeveless, has a square neck and an empire waist with a ruched bust. The skirt is lined and fall somewhat above the knees. This dress dances in the wind when a zephyr breezes by, and its so comfortable! I love this dress!

Day 14 of 57: Pearls and Polka-dots Are A Girls Best Friend

    Day 14 of 57 Days of Dresses is a fabulous '50s-inspired A-line shirt-dress. After a hard day's interning at the Scene, and a work meeting right after that, I went over one of my girlfriend's place and we hit the pool! Thanks to Erin for taking these photos in her bedroom doorway!

    I got this dress as a gift from Jason's mom. It's black with white polka-dots. The polka-dots are in perfectly straight rows and columns, which creates an interesting geometric effect. The skirt hits slightly above the knee and there are three black buttons on the shirt that end at the empire waist. The dress also has belt loops, which I have a vegan patent leather waist belt slipped through it, accompanied with patent leather kitten heels, and pearls, pearls, pearls! Pearls around my wrist, pearls around my fingers, pearls around my neck and pearls in my ears. I love this dress! Enjoy!
