Day 11 of 57: Kitchen Warrior One

On day 11 of 57 Days of Dresses, I’m doing Vinyasa-style kitchen work trimming roses Jason got me today  and making green bean succotash with shallots and tomatoes. In honor of the summer sun, I salute him with the fresh summer harvest and my hunter green maxi dress!

    I got this dress when lived in Arizona. One of my old roommates, Megan, and I actually have matching dresses – her dress is olive green and we got them at Rampage or Wet Seal. The dress has a dropped waist and a tiered full circle skirt. The top has a shaped bust and a halter tie that’s embellished with a wooden bead-studded, crocheted brooch.

P.S. – Today was the first day of Tennessee Teens Rock Camp, which I’m volunteering for. For those of you who saw me today, yes, I was wearing this dress all day. I just put the t-shirt over it!

P.P.S. – My green bean succotash is awesome! I don’t want to brag, but I’m an awesome cook.

 

Day 10 of 57: Lady in Black

    So on day 10 of 57 Days of Dresses I was feeling bold, and what better color to wear then black - all black.
     We drove by this electrical substation on our way home from the grocery store and I thought it'd be a great place to take some pictures of my pretty black dress. 60 cycle hum, here I come!
    This black tiered dress is a fab find at the Salvation Army. And, for $1 the only price better is free. It has spaghetti tie straps, and a wide scrunched waist. There's crocheted lace that drapes around the entire bust and upper back. The dress's fabric is completed hemmed with tiny 1/4" full stitched pleats that created interesting texture and movement.
