Fun & Games

I've wanted to take blog pictures in front of this beautiful backdrop for a long time. While I'm glad it finally happened, the photo shoot was rather bittersweet. It marked my last visit to Screenland Crossroads -- my favorite spot in KC to enjoy old movies on the big screen and vintage arcade games! This location is closing soon and hopefully reopening in an equally awesome spot.

Suddenly Summer

Seemingly overnight, the temperatures sky-rocketed! While it almost seems like we skipped spring and headed straight into summer, I am thankful for the warmth. I can finally pack away my coats with confidence and focus on perfecting my warm weather wardrobe.

Hey Boy

While this outfit is far less feminine than my usual fashion, it still felt very me thanks to the denim, polka dots and red lips. Plus, it seemed appropriate for an evening of Indiana Jones and arcade games. Happy Friday, and have a fabulous weekend!

Crop It Up

Lately I'm loving the crop top plus high-waist skirt combination for warm weather! Since last spring, I've been on the lookout for a matching top and skirt set. Then it dawned on me to attempt cutting a dress in half! The top I'm wearing here actually came from this dress. Once I sew a waistband into the skirt (assuming all goes well), I will share the complete outfit!

Drop It Like It's Hot

Though it can be a tricky silhouette to pull off, I've been very drawn to drop waists lately! Perhaps it's Gatsby fever. When I saw this sweet vintage dress on sale for a mere six bucks, I figured I had nothing to lose! I think I also want one that's looser and more flowy than this. Not only would it be super comfortable, but also I wouldn't worry about it hugging in the wrong places. Do you like drop waists?

Rainy Day Woman

 

Friday was dreary and cold, but I did my best to channel spring at least a little with cheery colors and nautical stripes.

Second Wind

These shots were taken as the temperature was dropping dramatically, hence all the wind! Though the conditions were slightly uncomfortable, the breeze did help to play up the fullness of this fun little dress. You may recognize it from a couple of posts last year. It's actually a skirt that kind of swallows me up when worn at the waist. I fully committed to its status as a dress by adding straps and removing the belt loops.
