Day 34 of 57: Oo, La La!

    So on day 34 of 57 Days of Dresses I had an early celebration of my 28th year on this planet! That's right, it was a birthday party! And what better way to party then like a kid again at an indoor amusement park and bowling alley. Plus there's a bar! Talk about an occasion to wear a beautiful dress.
    This is a sweet mini dress I got at the Salvation Army for $2. Swoon! It's an A-line shirt dress with princess seams and darts that make it fit like a glove. It has a very cool geometric pattern with of black, white and blue triangles. The plunged V-neck is accentuated with ruched seams. The dress has belt loops, which I have my favorite red belt looped through, and the front of the dress buttons from top to bottom. The short sleeves are buttoned at the cuff, and the skirt is detailed with a pleated tier around it that looks oh-so cute! Yeah, this is another dress that I love!

day 33 of 57: Pretty in Pink, again!

    So on day 33 of 57 Days of Dresses, Erin and I went to all our favorite stores - Lowe's, The Home Depot, Advanced Auto Parts and Dick's Sporting - in search of the perfect birthday presents for her boyfriend! By the way, her boyfriend and I have the same birthday. So after a long day of man stores, Erin took these great pictures for me. Many thanks!
    This sweet pink dress is an awesome American Apparel find. The lace bodice is sleeveless with princess seams. The chiffon skirt is folded over itself, and not hemmed, so the two soft layers of fabric move elegantly across my legs. The dress has a seamed waistline (which I have set off with a skinny brown belt), a boat neckline and a side zipper closure. What a beautiful dress.

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!
