First we had a lovely, bright-windowed dinner at a random, drive-by-finding restaurant. It was so tasty! and so friendly and exactly what we were in the mood for. And in wonderfully close proximity to our next destination, Piano Fort, aka: Sam's place, for a great evening of music and fundraising. Anyone who wasn't there seriously missed out. I'm a new fan of Lone Madrone and of Marty Marquis (Blitzen Trapper). They played my heart out. It felt completely, wonderfully therapeutic to spend an evening with great friends in a great venue with such delicious music.
and speaking of delicious... those (capital B) Brownies from Sweet Chaos were entirely too tasty. *sigh* I must limit my intake to one-a-day. or one-a-week? Either way, Susan made a taste bud blasting array of goodies for the evening. I love that lady.
So - I wore this:
and carried this:
(This was originally supposed to be a burgundy velvet hat, but it looked dumb. So it became a wrist purse and now I love it!)
Then we came home and saw a bunch of naked people on bikes.
what?!? yes. nekked.
And it was a perfect evening.
then today, I wore this:
I'm afraid I don't like it. It's just not me. I think it's a pretty frock and all, but it 1) needs pockets and 2) is just too danged floweredy. or something. I even made a matching belt!
I'm not sure why I don't like it. I just don't.
And Jack made a giant-sized tower this afternoon! What a cutie-pie!
I love your dress - it's very retro. Would you like it more if you changed the belt? Maybe a skinny leather one to match your cardi.
ReplyDeleteGood eye - It was a 1956 pattern, so it's definitely retro. But yeah, I think you may be on to something! a different belt might bring it in to the 21st century. Maybe. Engage Operation Dress Rescue!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this dress exactly as it is...LOVE! It seems very YOU, Vick. And the belt is to die for. You are SO talented!
ReplyDeleteoh Geens - maybe I was just in a bad mood the day I wore it. I'm going to add a pocket and give it another go. Probably with a different belt. Hopefully with a different attitude. :o)
