(I have the nicest mother ever).
It's been raining a lot here. It will be unbearably hot and sunny during the day when I'm at work, and as soon as I get in the car to drive home,thundershowers begin. It's like the Universe strums its chin and says, "You have a photo blog? And you only take pictures from 6-8pm? I laugh at your plans, Dress Girl!" with a maniacal grin. And then makes it rain. I was so determined to take photos before trivia Tuesday night, Jeremiah and I drove to the farm park and waited for a break between showers...
I found this beauty of a dress during a thrifting jaunt over the weekend at Goodwill. Red with beige flowers? One hundred percent silk? Perfect length for leg elongation? Cute Grecian side tie-thingy? It might as well have had a neon sign over it saying, "BUYYY MEEE." I wonder how long the dress idled in obscurity in the overcrowded dress rack. Probably not that long -- I go often enough (about three times a month) that I can identify certain forgotten pieces, so this dress was probably very new to the thrift scene when I found it.
The dress has shoulder pads, and usually I go for the scissors and get rid of those things right away. But for this dress I kept them because I liked how they make my shoulders subtly jut out, to balance out the femininity of the dress. What do you think? To pad or not to pad?
Have a great Wednesday (it's my day off!),
