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 27 of 57: I "heart" mini dresses!

    So on day 27 of 57 Days of Dresses, Jason and I went to mÄmbu on Hayes St for an awesome dinner experience. The interior was eclectically gaudy, menu was crafted of fresh local artisan ingredients, the wine list was impressive, and the St. Germaine margarita was bad ass! What was also bad ass was my mini dress that I wore. After dinner, we went for a night time stroll around the block and came across this dirty little alley were we found the beveled glass window I'm posing in front of.
     I found this mini dress at the Salvation Army for -score- 2 bucks! Judging from the style and label, I'd approximate this dress to be from the late '80s to '90s. This A-line shirt dress has a U-neck, short sleeves and front button closure. The dress is a teal and white checker pattern with pink heart "tiles" all over it. What's even better is the buttons are white hearts - it's the little details that count. This dress is amazingly cute!

day 23 of 57: Night stalker in animal print

    Today is day 23 of 57 Days of Dress! We tried some night time photography for this dress. Let's just say not every location's a winner, but that still shouldn't stop you from giving it a try, right? Lesson learned!

    This cat print dress is my only Betsey Johnson piece. I really don't care for many of the styles, but I guess there's always an exception. This dress is also the only animal print dress I have. I'm always on the look out for an awesome zebra print dress, so if you see one, send it my way! It's a leopard print flared mini dress. It has solid black banding, exposed black stitching and a black back tie. The dress has a button front closure with leopard print buttons, a low scooped neck and scooped back. It's a fun little dress, and I don't wear it enough. These pictures really do it no justice!

Day 22 of 57: At the church doors in a little black dress

    On day 22 of 57 Days of Dresses, Jason and I found this awesome church at the corner of 46th Ave near Richland Park, and felt totally inspired to get out the ole' camera at take some photos!
    This is a cute like mini dress I got at a fabulous swap party a couple months ago. It has spaghetti straps, and brass snap button front closure. It has a empire waist and two front pockets. What a nice little summer dress. Accompanying the dress is a peacock and pheasant feather hair clip I made (my first one, more to come!)
