Threesome Thursdays--Vintage Rust Dress
At this rate, I'm going to have to change the name of this series. I keep picking all time favorite articles of clothing that were worn more than three times by me on the blog. #selfishbratwoeisme
At any rate, this is one of my favorite vintage dresses of all time. Seriously. I loved the color, the shape and the vintage fabric the minute I laid eyes on it. It has proven to be quite versatile, which is surprising given its autumnal color.
So there is this particular park that I like to go to take my photos at, but it is all the way on the other side of Boulder. Usually it is packed, but today it was empty. Strange. Well, here was why.
See those cones and caution tape? Can you read that sign? The park was closed today due to wildlife. It turns out there was a bear stuck in a tree and they closed the park.
Being a Natural Born Rebel, I bypassed the caution tape on an offbeat bike path to take my photos. Was this a good idea?
Well, I suppose I could've been ticketed/yelled at by the Boulder Police (we all remember how much they love me . . .). And, perhaps I could've been mauled by a bear.
But I had already driven all the way across town and dammit, I was taking my picture at this park come hell or high water.
Needless to say, I got the shots, didn't get ticketed/arrested/made to serve more community service. And I didn't get eaten by a bear.
So I guess you could say all's fair in love and blogging. Or something like that. This mumbo jumbo should translate into the following to you:
Patrick's out of town. I've been "single mothering" it up all night. I'm beat. I'm sweating (we are on day 65 of 90+ temperatures here in Colorado--unheard of and record breaking). And I'm delirious.
So let's just leave it at that and remember to email me your pics for the new e-party by Tuesday. Oh and, watch out for bears if you're off of Arapahoe in Boulder.

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
