Seven Swans Swimming!

Sorry Sorry Sorry... I've been sick and that whole Dressember taking a picture almost everyday was a first for me. And I kinda skipped Geese a laying... oops.

Well here are seven swans... well me and two swans. This was taken at a house in my hometown outside of Dayton that has their own personal Swans... I know. I wish I was rich enough to have my own swans. They have some black swans too but they weren't out. And my pose is what I think a swan looks like.... haha.

I lived in this skirt all weekend, and I totally forgot about this sweater, so you will be sure to see it in rotation.

Five Gold Rings!

Well I'm still sick, so I'm kinda lagging on these posts. But here is my five gold rings... well not all gold, hehe. I wore my gold waitress dress as a blouse and a new amazing skirt from Anthropologie that I purchased with a gift card from my sis. I love it! I wore this to Kevin's cousin's new house warming party, but we didn't stay long because I am sick. And oh don't you love the booties I got? I bought them with xmas money and UO's super sale.

I still have one present that is awesome that I need to share with you guys!!

And as you can see there is construction equipment in the background. They tore down another house on my block. Now it's three that have been torn down in the past two years. Eventually the entire block will be condos and they've been tearing down the houses as they fall apart instead of putting money into them to fix them. It's sad, I really feel like we need to get out of this neighborhood before something happens to our house that the landlords (slumlords) won't fix. Anyway... I still love our neighborhood, it's filled with great friends, and I don't want to leave just yet.

Four Calling Birds!

Ok so yeah that's right you guys get one picture and a detail shot. My camera battery died right after and the charger was at work and then I was really sick. I think I have the flu or something so I ended up spending most of the day in my pjs sleeping. So yeah I wore this for a few hours before going to bed.

The dress as you can see has birds all over it. And I thought the sundress over it would be a great touch, like a birdies belly.

After I slept most all the day I pulled myself together to go to an appointment at Macy's Bridal Boutique... They were having a Lazaro trunk show... and man! Those dresses were gorgeous and it as the first time I ever tried on a wedding dress. Sadly they didn't let Jen and I take pictures and even sadder is the fact that there is noooo way I could ever afford them. But it was fun to play dress up!

Here's what I tried on.

Lazaro 3062. I love the sheer corset top and the low back but the skirt was a little too overwhelming.



Lazaro 3962... I liked this the best on me.

Purdy.

That's all time for sicky girls bedtime.

Three French Hens!

I really don't know what French Hens are nor did I know how to dress like them, haha! So I came up with this. I think it would be something a French college girl or young lady would wear in the 50's. The dress is homemade vintage and I love the pattern on the fabric. Isn't it like a French country side?

And look I have French Braids and am wearing a beret!

Ok, ok. Cheese. Too much.
