30 Dresses in 30 Days is settling into it's last week. I have to say I've impressed myself. I really didn't think I could hack the thirty days.... and with one week left I've worn a dress every single day... and have even been inspired enough to buy a few of my own. ( More on that later this week) For now, here are a few of my favorite standout dresses I've been frolicking in this week and last!
Laundry is so pretty these days...
Biking is hard in the dress. There are a few that I feel comfortable in but most are too long, too flowery or too silly to wear while sweating and hauling 90 pounds of trailer and children. I'm looking forward to returning to a good pair of black jeans my new Chrome biking shoes! This one was easy, because it was so short and casual. In fact, it was this dress that gave me the confidence to get back to feeling comfortable in short dresses!
Yes. I am wearing a tropical holiday-themed dress. When I pulled it out of the box my girlfriend sent to me at the beginning of the month I almost hurt an organ or two howling so hard. Never in a million years, would I frolic in a tropical holiday-themed anything, let alone a vintage dress that twirls and dons the words: "Bermuda! Island in The Sun!"
But one day the sun was so hot, and the park and the sangaria were on my mind and I was feeling a little like a holiday... so I tried it on. Turns out it's actually one of my favorites.
Probably the hardest time to put on a dress is to garden. It simply isn't functional. To mow the lawn and weedwack is some serious business and I don't want to feel like I'm from Little House on The Prairie. I want to feel like I can bend and kneel and haul crap around and then wipe my filthy hands on my jeans, shove my gloves into my back pockets and go in for some lunch. Fortunetly I have this dress to wear so even though I'm not working as hard as I ought to out there, I look like a garden myself which distracts from the weeds.
Finally, I've discovered that the dresses I like the best are made of more natural fibres like linen and cotton. This one was a perfect example of a dress I could wear again and again. I'm getting very comfortable in all these dresses. I'll be sad to let a few of them go!
