day 9 of 57: Summer Sundress at the Farmers' Market

    Today's day 9 of 57 Days of Dresses! Jason and I went to Nashville Farmers' Market this morning before he dropped me off at work. We got watermelon, blueberries and sourdough bread! It was a beautifully blush summer morning, and I felt that a summery sundress would be just the thing for a saunter down at the market!
    I got this vintage sundress at Fanny's House of Music/ Diamond Star Halo Vintage. The best part about it is I had sundress just like this when I was a little girl (I'll post a photo of little girl me in that very dress later)! It has delicate spaghetti straps, a zipper back and a high waist. It's an A-line style and I love the floral pattern on it - makes me feel like I'm on vacation! It's a stylish and simple piece, and I can't wait to wear it again!

Day 7 of 57: The New Wave Nights

    So, on day 7 of 57 Days of Dresses Jason and I went to the Psychedelic Furs show at the Cannery. The Furs played there Talk Talk Talk album, and then a second set of non-stop hits! It was new wave heaven, and I thought it'd be only fitting to pull out my best new wave dress in the closet.
    This awesome dress is a vintage 1980's wiggle mini-dress I got at this Memphis boutique (the name of the place eludes me). It has bat sleeves (which isn't shown off very well in any of the photos, bummer), a hips-to-collar front zipper, 2 breast pockets, side pockets, and a matching belt! The top of the dress is loose and bouncy, while the skirt is form-fitting.
    The Furs put on an awesome show, and Richard Butler is a dashingly handsome older man! I'm talking pretty Englishman in the echelons of David Bowie or Simon Le Bon. I'm happy we went, and I can't wait for Duran Duran to make their way to Nashville. Hopefully soon.

Day 5 of 57: Mint, Rosemary and my pretty white shirtdress!

    On day 5 of 57 Days of Dresses, I was pulling up to Gojo for lunch, I decided to stop and smell the herb growing in the back of the building. An aromatic bush of Rosemary was thriving, with sprigs of spearmint shooting out here and there.
   Also, check out the wonderful '80s dress I bought at the fab little vintage boutique in Memphis that I, sadly, cannot remember the name of. It's a white shirt-dress with a black paint splatter pattern on it. It has a high waist with belt loops and an open skirt. I love the black piping around the collar and lapel and the 3 big black buttons that go down to the waist.

Day 4 of 57: Dude, who hit my van? And check out my awesome blue dress!

    So day 4 of 57 Days of Dresses features an awesome late '80s or early '90s blue minidress I got at Flashback Vintage on Elliston Place (sadly, this awesome joint closed down a couple months ago). It's a vibrant blue with a darling floral/ leaf pattern on it. It has a slouched waist tie and a single key-hole button closure on the back of the neck.
    By the way, Jason and I would like to know who hit our van? It wasn't like this last time I drove it!

57 Days of Dresses! Day 1 of 57

    Today's the Opening Day of "57 Days of Dresses," which is, quite simply, a celebration of fashion by wearing every dress in my closet for the next 57 days.
    Yes, I have 57 dresses.
    And, yes, I'm going to wear a different dress for the next 57 days.
    Today's dress is a vintage A-line red dress with a white floral mini-pattern. I got it at a swap party, and it fits great. Nothing better than at free vintage dress that wears like a glove!
P.S. - How about the awesome cow picture on my bathroom mirror?
