(See the dress in 2014 here and here and in 2013 here.) It is hot around here. Which is highly unusual for us so early in June. Who knows if it will last. Our grass probably won't. I've had this dress for years now (and pretty much just been wearing it the same way with… Continue reading 30 Day Dress Challenge 2016 – Day 6
(See the dress in previous years here and here.) Hey, a new background! Check out our crazy climbing roses. This dress is from Vero Moda and I bought in Prague way back in 2008. I had planned to wear a different dress today but the temperature has jumped up this weekend and so sleeves were… Continue reading 30 Day Dress Challenge 2016 – Day 5
(See previous years here and here.) If I had thought ahead, I would have taken pictures first thing in the morning today - before we headed out to the beach where I sat in the sand with Pearl, waded through the waves, and generally had a fantastic time and came home with my dress wet… Continue reading 30 Day Dress Challenge – Day 4
Tried for photos today while Pearl was awake. (She is not wearing a dress.) My dress is from Old Navy. (I think it's still on sale.) It's linen so it has a nice weight. I ordered it in a tall so that it would be more "Mom-appropriate". Old Navy's vanity sizing drives me crazy though.… Continue reading 30 Day Dress Challenge – Day 3
Today was a work day for me so I can be a bit fancier. I'm wearing dangly earrings! This dress is Calvin Klein but I found it in a second hand shop. (You can see how I've worn it before here.) My cardigan is from Winners. I've worn it lots and it has a fun… Continue reading 30 Day Dress Challenge 2016 – Day 2
It's back! It's June and I'm going to wear dresses! Way back when, in 2013, I decided to spend a month wearing all the dresses in my closet. I had/have a lot of dresses. You can read the original post here. I had fun wearing my favourite article of clothing and clearing out my closet… Continue reading 30 Day Dress Challenge 2016 – Day 1
This past weekend, Peter and I had a whirlwind city trip to attend a wedding. And by whirlwind, I mean that we totally had time to stop for donairs when we stumbled across the Vancouver Latino festival. (Not that donairs are Latino...) A wedding gave me a chance to wear one of my fancier dresses… Continue reading Lately (+ a bonus dress!)
This dress may look familiar. In fact, this picture may look familiar. I'll be honest - this is a photo from Day 2. I wore this dress again yesterday and when I curled up in bed last night, realized I hadn't taken a picture that day. So the 30 Day Dress Challenge ends on a… Continue reading Day 30 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
2 days, 2 dresses! Day 28: The Dress: A repeat from Day 8, this is my Joe Fresh dress again. This time I added a belt, just for a change. I like the way it likes fine both ways but I definitely like wearing it without a belt better. You know, comfort. And since it… Continue reading Days 28 & 29 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
Today is one of those days on the West Coast when people make corny jokes like, "Summer's over. Hope you enjoyed all 2 days of it!" Don't worry - I make them too. It was either grey or raining all day which ruined my sandal plan. I'm getting a lot more wear out of my… Continue reading Day 27 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
