Despite all those words I spent aching for summer, I think it's here and I'm a little bit hot. It's been really humid for a few days, but beggars can't be choosers, so I'm attempting to make the best of it! Sadly, work and all sorts of other activities like banks and post offices make lounging around the pool a rarity!
I finally altered that second dress, with the help of my mother by sewing some inserts into the sides so I could have some breathing room. This dress has easily become one of my favorites, even though I keep myself from wearing it every day. Long dresses allow a kind of weird freedom that I find is lacking in their mini compatriots. It might just be this one though, that allows for sitting in any position because of it's multitude of fabric in the skirts.
Most of the time though, being in the humidity makes me do this:

Thanks all <33!!
ReplyDeleteVagabond: I picked it up last summer at a local jewelry store--she also sells vintage clothing :) I found the inserted fabric at JoAnne's!
Erin: Not actually wearing tights or stockings :D Last year I still wore them, because I was self conscious about my legs, but this year I haven't worn them for the summer! I get a lot of people asking me what color they are though, which is quite funny :D
Haha, that little cat video is cute :) I really like the skirt you are wearing in the first picture

that dress is a work of art. long dresses are nice because you don't have to worry everytime you sit down or bend over.

I love the color combination in the first outfit and the details on the dress in the 2nd. I wish I could get up the courage to wear longer dresses. I'm just too insistent that they make my legs look stubby.
ReplyDeleteoh i love both outfits :D you have such a knack for color combinations!
ReplyDeletemmm, love that last dress. and your hair, as usual, is perfection.
ReplyDeletecat video - lol. i gotta agree with you on what long dresses offer. this coming from a tomboy like me. they're girly in an ungirly way - which suits me just right. hope i make sense, lol.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress! And that cat clip is hilarious!
