day 26 of 57: Maxi love

    On day 26 of 57 Days of Dresses we discovered LOVE on the side of the road. Well, really Jason and I see it every day on I-40W right past the 46th Ave exit. A building with a bright yellow side that says "Love" in big red letters.
    Today's dress is a gorgeous vintage A-line maxi dress Jason got me at Fanny's House of Music/ Diamond Star Halo Vintage. It has a intricately detailed paisley pattern, 2 front pockets and a solid fucshia sash. The dress has a full-length front zipper, and large unstructured lapels. The short sleeves are cuffed and it has light shoulder pads for structure. I feel like a dancing queen when I wear this dress! What an amazing find.

Day 19 of 57: After a long day in a pretty blue dress

    So, today is day 19 of 57 Days of Dresses, and after a long days' work and making gnocchi and a fresh primavera sauce with eggplant, red and green bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms and tomatoes, well, I was pooped. But, I still got pictures of my dress!
    This dress is a navy blue shirt dress I got on sale at Urban Outfitters. The dress has a plaid pattern on it, raw hems throughout the piece and ties in back, which all creates a rather rustic, peasant, provincial style. The V-neck has a unstructured lapel and buttons down to the waist. The sleeves are rolled and gathered up by a corded button, which give it a draped look. It's a cute little mini dress and it's great all year long.
