The sun came back today! Our ivy's getting a little out of control. The Dress: One I've had a long time and I don't think I've worn it since last year when I did this dress challenge. This dress is a perfect example of an item of clothing you buy because "Maybe I'll be the… Continue reading Day 16 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
Halfway through the 30 days! Just a few days from summer and it poured rain today. So much rain this morning, in fact, that it woke me up. I'm a deep sleeper and I grew up in Vancouver so that should tell you how heavy the rain was! The Dress: This dress was the result… Continue reading Day 15 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
Grey day here, I'm afraid. That means a sweater. And I was too cold to take a picture without it. The Dress: BCBG from an outlet near LA, about seven years ago. Now that I think about it, this was one of my first dress purchases. I wasn't as much of a dress wearer once… Continue reading Day 14 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
A new picture spot this evening. Not so sure about this...The water was warmer than I expected but still pretty cold. It's been a windy day. The Dress: Esprit. Purchased in Victoria a few years ago. I like it because it's different and it feels very spring/summer. It doesn't feel as versatile as some of… Continue reading Day 13 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
Because it's a cloudy June day, this is what I've looked like most of today. Sweater over dress - add some tights and boots and I'm ready for fall. Here's what the dress looks like: The Dress: I believe this is called seersucker. I always thought only people in the southern USA wore seersucker but… Continue reading Day 12 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
The Dress: Is this a dress? I'm not so sure, really. It's one of those mullet numbers - short in the front but longer in the back. It's too short in the front for me to ever wear it without leggings but it's long in the back. Which, I now realise, this picture doesn't demonstrate… Continue reading Day 11 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
Rainy day means trying some inside poses. Also, my husband made that bookshelf. The Dress: Originally from The Gap, I bought this dress at a secondhand shop in Cumberland. It's a loose fit and comfortable dress. I liked it a lot when I bought it but I've noticed that more recently I haven't been very… Continue reading Day 10 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
The Dress: I bought this dress several years ago at front and company in Vancouver. At the time, I couldn't find a tag on it and my sister-in-law, who was with me, and I speculated that it might be homemade. Then, a couple of years later, I was in a different secondhand shop and saw… Continue reading Day 9 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
The Dress: Joe Fresh purchased at Superstore in Langford. Given that, this dress is surprisingly good quality. It's a nice, thick material with a simple cut. And it's another one that has pockets! (Maybe pockets in dresses aren't that rare or maybe I simply have a penchant for them.) My sandals are from Aldo. That's… Continue reading Day 8 – 30 Day Dress Challenge
The Dress: Thrifted at Goodwill on this trip through Washington. It's a fun, easy-to-wear, shirt-style dress. It's light and sleeveless but not overly casual (at least on the West Coast). It was a little windy while we were hanging out at the beach this morning so I also threw on a cardigan. This was another… Continue reading Day 7 – 30 Day Dress Challenge 2014
