Dress Week Comes to an End – Day 6
Written by admin on February 6th, 2010Hasn’t it been fun? Well, it has for me, sharing fun thrift store finds and reading all of your very kind comments! Today will be the last day, and tomorrow a day of rest from this fashion adventure.
Can you tell whose baby Annie really is? I love this little puppy, in spite of her, uh, inability to understand that her bathroom is OUTSIDE. We will get it straight one day, though.
I love the dress pictured above because of the corset-type tie in the front, and there is a repeated exact tie on the back. Oh, I do love it.
Dress 4.00
I am closing with just one picture showing the beautiful detail of one of my current favorites, because I think beauty is in the details. We fall in love with people as we find out their little ways and peculiarities — their details. Much of interior design is in the details. There are detail shops for cars.
When I go out shopping, I shop for things that make me happy and that I can make a connection with. I also shop for functional things, obviously, because I’m buying clothes, but if I have to choose between a drab gray overcoat and a soft pink one with a pretty charm hanging from the zipper tab, guess what? 
Thank you all so much for having fun with me this week!
Today’s a work day. It’s snowing here today. Again. I told Thomas spring was right around the corner. ”Six weeks,” I said.
“Where’d you get that idea?” he asked.
I was picturing the little groundhog and knowing that he had seen his shadow.
Thomas interrupted my beautiful thoughts and said, “You know they’re comparing this winter to only two others like it over the last 100 years. This winter’s gonna go slam through March.”
Was he kidding?
Oh well.
PS - Tanya, just for you…
It does have a great twirl effect!
And Ginger, the skirt yesterday is 100% polyester. I checked this morning.

Thank you for sharing your cute dresses. I think I might get the courage to do this sometime.

I shop for things the same way, Lynn. They have to be “me.” I remember once when I was a teen shopping for shoes. The saleslady showed me pair after pair of the current styles, exclaiming, “This is what EVERYONE is wearing.” (“But I’m not EVERYONE!”) It upset me because I wanted shoes that would suit my individuality, and I’m still that way. I can see you are, too!
Thank you for sharing the special glimpses of the charming way you dress this week. It was fun getting to “know you” a little better. Whenever I see a shawl now, I immediately think of you.
By the way, don’t forget that March comes in like a lion, but goes out like a lamb. At least that’s how the saying goes. In real life, we’re used to having winter through March and into April up here! On the bright side, I can start my petunia seeds pretty soon since they need 12 weeks indoors.
Have a blessed day in the Lord!

Such a pretty little dress… and such a sweet little puppy. That really is the look of love in her eyes, isn’t it?;)

Dear Lynn,
Your blog has now become one of my favorites. I love your style. I am a 40 something year old as well, just learning to wear what I love (lace,pearls, lot of pink) and not give a hoot what others think.
Thanks so much for your encouraging blog. Have a wonderful weekend.
Laurie

Dear Lynn,
What a sweet picture with Annie~I think I can tell whose baby she is!
I love the lacings on the dress; I don’t think I’ve seen front and back lacing before.
It seems funny that your horrible winter would be a pretty mild one here
. I hope the groundhog was right.
Love,
Marqueta

Oh twirl effect is very important. I love a dress that swishes and this on looks like it does. I agree it is the little details that make something a classic. I hope the snow is not too bad. xoxoxo Clarice

Lynn,
I’ve really enjoyed this week at your blog!
I’ve enjoyed it SOOOOOOOO much, that YOU’VE inspired me to do the same. I’m taking the LYNN challenge!
This week, (starting yesterday) I announced to my hub and Tommie that for one week I’ll be wearing skirts/dresses.
I had to go out and buy tights. I had none. While out, I found a shawl at a thrift shop for .25… well, I thought of you and my challenge and snatched it up.
I look forward to blogging about my own week and linking your wealth of inspiraton.
Thanks for enhancing my life,
Michele/ivy

Ginger, thank you. You should have a fashion show!
Emily, ohhh, petunia seeds. I’ve never thought of starting them! Michaela and I have saved some clear tomato “cases” and we are doing to start some type of seeds soon. I’m a shawl girl for sure. Thank you for visiting me all week! It’s nice to get to know you better.
Susan, it’s so good to hear from you! I’m trying to stay warm. We would have loved this way back when! Means we could have missed school and talked on the phone all day.
Tanya, thank you! Yeah, the twirl on that dress is really cool!
Diane, Annie really does love me. She really does. I love her too!
Laurie, thank you so much for leaving your kind comment! I love pink. One of my favorite colors!
Marqueta, I think it’s the only dress I’ve seen with front and back lacings too. I really like it!
Thanks, Dana!
Clarice, a skirt that can swish is so important!
Michele, I cannot wait to see your fashion week! I’ll be there cheering you on! Thanks for visiting me!
