All My Friends Are Getting Married

And I'm just here enjoying this pretty dress

Weddings are beautiful things. At this point in my life, I've only been to few, but I know a slew of embossed invitations will be arriving very soon. It appears I'm entering the stage where all my friends are deciding that now is a good time to put a ring on it. 

Hey, they get a whole ceremony and gifts and a honeymoon—they'll be okay if I twirl around their reception in a cotton candy pink dress.

And I'm happy for them! Really, I am. What that means for me? Well, I could dive into a pit of despair going on about how it could be/should be me (it couldn't and it shouldn't), or I can look on the side where I get to wear an unnecessarily lavish dress for one night. Like prom, if you will. 

This customized Jacey Dress by Azazie is that one for me. And yes, I'm turning their special day into one about me and my dress. Judge me. Hey, they get a whole ceremony and gifts and  a honeymoon—they'll be okay if I twirl around their reception in a cotton candy pink dress.

Azazie provided the Jacey Bridesmaid Dress for styling. As always, thoughts and opinions are my own.

Summertime Mom Shorts

Bringing back mom crotch in a major way

A lot has happened since the last time I've posted: I've got a haircut I'm in love with, I've had my first lobster roll ever (life changing), and I've developed a new Sandy-at-the-end-of-Grease sense of style, complete with the moto jacket.

I also anticipate that in five years I'll look back at these photos and think, 'wait, what, why?' like most people from the 90's do when they look at their past outfits...

Well, really, I think it was always there, but being in New York where you can wear literally anything, I've gotten more comfortable with experimenting. Yes, my legs are out! My belly button, too! And yes I'm rocking 90's mom crotch—and I am okay with all of those things! 

I anticipate a lot of summer outfits of this caliber. I also anticipate that in five years I'll look back at these photos and think, 'wait, what, why?' like most people from the 90's do when they look at their past outfits, but I won't regret the feeling of freedom. Yes, freedom in the form of shorts. I'm all about it.

I'm Wearing A Dress

And other thoughts on clothes & blogging about them

Well, here I am folks, wearing a dress. Don't let my lackluster tone confuse you, though—I really do love this off-shoulder summer shift. It's the perfect dress for shimmying here and shaking there, and what is a summer dress if not something you can shimmy and shake in?

Yes, I, the unabashed lover of wardrobes, accessories and frills can, on occasion, be a little bit over it.

But, and this but is a hard one to type out, sometimes I just want to yell at my computer screen, "it's just a dress!" Yes, I, the unabashed lover of wardrobes, accessories and frills can, on occasion, be a little bit over it. Right now, I'm living a life that's 98% new to me. I'm trying to figure out how all these new pieces fit together, and that includes how I write about the clothes I choose to put on my body.

If it sounds like I'm about to renounce blogging, I'm not. I've always wanted to do this, just in a genuine way. If I say, "this dress is my favorite" one more time, I just might strangle myself with said dress. Wait, that's drastic. Truth be told, I will still be saying things are my favorite because us bloggers love our favorite things. Did I mention that this dress is my favorite, top-five, must-have off-shoulder dress for summer? No? Oh, well, it is.
