    • IMG_8859It was actually raining really hard when I took this photo!
    IMG_8863Like I’ve said before… I LOVE MATCHY MATCHY!
    Just the small bits of primary colored tweed that compliment the dress make this outfit very successful in my eyes
    IMG_8862 IMG_8850Here are my little bows! I scalped my Hello Kitty plush and now she looks SO much like Dear Daniel with no bow!

    I stitched one single pronged pin curl clip to the back of each bow, so I can slip it on when I feel like channeling Hello Kitty.

    • August 7, 2009My 27th birthday is in three days, and in preparation, I’m wearing a dress I bought for myself on my 25th birthday when I lived in Eugene, Oregon. The sad fact of my wardrobe is that I’m fatally attracted to navy dresses – I have at least seven! On the surface, they are difficult to match because black or brown staples clash. I’ve now been able to match them with white shoes and lots of fun, patterned accessories.
