Frocktober 26th!

Today I wore two dresses!  But I only took good photos of the first one.  I was busy today!
This dress I made back in January 2010!  I haven’t worn it much because it’s too tight around my chest. I think I might cut off the bodice and make a skirt from it.  Here’s the original post form when I made it!

 Me back when I made it.

Then since the dress was strangling me, I changed into my Gilroy Garlic Dress!  Much more comfy.  The tights have little hearts on them and are from Forever 21.

Frocktober 25th!

Today’s dress is a bit strange for me, as it’s very short and doesn’t have a defined waist!  The skirt part fluffs out from my hips so it’s not very flattering.  Nevertheless, I really love it! 

Today was spent at the library, working at a computer all day.  Kind of boring!

 My big dumb smiling face.

Dress detail: I Love Milk.

This dress is from Uniqlo, Paris.  It is a collaboration between Uniqlo and Milk – a famous and long-running lolita/casual brand from Japan.

This dress comes with old worn photos too!  Me mucking about in Sweden after buying it in Paris.  We spent Christmas in Paris in 2010 and it was bizarre!  Not romantic at all!  Everything was closed and we had Christmas lunch at McDonald’s!

Should I cut my fringe like that again?

Frocktober 23rd!

Gosh it’s getting towards the end of the month!  I’ve started to wear dresses that are kind of weird and I never otherwise would wear!  Maybe I need to get rid of some…

Today’s dress is really nice, but tight around my ribs 😦 and I can’t figure out how I’d alter it because there’s piping all around the middle panel.  I managed today, so maybe I’ve lost weight or gained toughness.  Also I didn’t do anything hard today, so didn’t have to breathe too hard!

Charles commented that there’s always a cardigan photo and then some without-cardigan photos.  But seriously, I’m NEVER WITHOUT A CARDIGAN!  They really are essential, especially in this kind of warm-ish weather.

This dress also comes with an old worn photo.  This is me and my parents right before my third-year recital!  I look so young there, in 2009!
I have no idea what to wear tomorrow.  It’s getting more and more difficult…
