That Dress I Made That One Time

worn on July 4th, 2011

Ok, so I wasn’t originally going to show you guys my engagement photo outfits until I could show you the actual photos. But seeing as it will be weeks until then, and that I’m just a teensy bit impatient, I figured I could show you one of the two outfits. 

This one is actually the dress that I made, and gave you a sneak peek of a couple of weeks ago. I LOVE the way it came out - the fit ended up being perfect. Plus, not only was it exactly what I wanted for the photos, but I also managed to get in a little blue and red(ok - red/orangeish) for the fourth. 

Bonus - Kathryn of Kitsune-kun made this dress too! go see her version here.

dress: handmade- McCalls pattern M6331

Swapped, Part Three

worn on May 3rd, 2011

This is the third and final item Kathryn sent me for our swap. Its actually a dress. But, as I quickly mentioned monday, I had an unfortunate lapse of judgment involving this dress and an iron. It still makes me upset to think about it, so we’ll just leave it at that.

But I’m still incredibly happy with the way this outfit came out. I mean, it makes just as adorable of a skirt as it does a dress, right? You can’t not feel awesome wearing this. Its light, colorful, springy. And its one of those skirts that makes you wanna twirl with every step. 

Don’t forget to check out how Kathryn styles my items over at Kitsune-kun !

Swapped, Part Two

worn on May 2nd, 2011

This little number happens to be the second dress Kathryn of Kitsune-kun sent my way. So pretty, right? And I’m loving the subtle ombre effect going on. I don’t have much green in my closet, and I actually felt pretty spring-y wearing it. Like I was fitting in with all the new green grass and trees finally sprouting up everywhere. Oh! And look at that, I even have hints of florals too (my belt is floral even though you can’t see, as well as my shoes). Now if only I had a fancy little garden party to attend…. I’d fit right in!

Swapped, Part One

worn on April 30th, 2011

This week I will be swapping a few items with Kathryn of Kitsune-kun. First up - this adorable yellow dress! I could not wait to get my hands on this thing. When I first saw Kathryn wear it, I absolutely fell in love. Sunshine yellow! Tie dye! bows! Seriously, where can I get one of these babies?

Its a bit wrinkly. But after a horrible, horrible incident with one of the other swapped dresses ( and my worst nightmare), I didn’t dare try to iron it. Note to self: don’t ever, ever attempt to iron another persons clothing while in your possession again. It will end in disaster. ( Soooooo sorry again Kathryn :( ). 

So, yeah. After my meltdown, this outfit was actually worn for mine and Boo’s 6 year anniversary on saturday. It involved a picnic lunch, seeing Water For Elephants (which I enjoyed), and a yummy steak dinner at The Palm. Mmm Mmm Mmmmmm.
