i went to a backyard picnic at my friend, wilkerbooty’s, house on friday night. she also had a garage full of clothes looking for a good home. so i took three dress and two pairs of shoes! so awesome.

this wednesday, the choir is singing on a riverboat and i think this will be my outfit. do you notice anything weird? i hope not. or maybe i don’t care.

the secret is that i like the way it fits backwards more than the way it fits, um, forwards (?) because of this silly gather in the middle of the front of the dress. where it gathers on my front is not very flattering.

i don’t think i’ve ever owned yellow shoes before! very summery and fun.

i think this dress is super adorable and i love the way it fits! i sort of wonder if it wasn’t a bridal party dress, but whatever. brides are always claiming “you can wear this again” right? so i will wear it again for whoever owned it previously. because it makes me feel like a girly girl.

i wish my hair was better in these photos, but whatever. i was 10 minutes from bed time when i took these photos. obviously getting silly since i was trying on dresses and had a grand idea to blog ’em.

those black shoes are from my coworker, kelly. they are vera wang! good score. the only thing that’s better than new shoes is free shoes.
