Sometimes it's fun to fully embrace your girly side. Yesterday I did just that with hot-rolled hair, dramatic makeup, a sweet dress and feminine finishing touches. Though I was slightly over-dressed for playing pool at a dive bar, I felt fab.

Flower Girl
Rainy weather has ushered in slightly cooler temperatures. I keep reminding myself to wear jeans and sleeves while I still can! Jeans are always what I miss most during the dog days of summer. Though I don't usually opt for wide leg pants, I seem to prefer them cropped when I do! I don't think the silhouette does much for my short stature, but that's never stopped me before!

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.

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?
