Yes, there are pictures, but first we’re going to explore
the etiology of today’s title. Won’t
that be fun? (BTW: the answer we're looking for
is yes, folks).
Sir: I don’t think I look particularly mannish in this
outfit, but somebody called me ‘Sir’ today.
Maybe it’s because I didn’t wear earrings? Let that be a lesson to you, Gentle Readers,
accessorize or suffer the consequences.
Hems-a-Lot: I went on a hemming rampage a few weeks ago,
taking quite a few of my midi-length dresses to above the knee. Which isn’t to say I’ve given up midis; I
just wanted a little variety. This dress
was one of the victims of that rampage:
Today:
Before:
Unlike previous outfits with this dress, I’m sans tights and
I paired it with lighter, more spring-like accessories. Instead of my dark brown boots, I opted for
camel-colored ones (Steve Madden). And in
addition to the boots, I added a coral belt (Steve Madden via Ross), a couple
of vintage bracelets (thrifted & gifted) and a watch.
Because faking Spring is almost as good as really having
Spring arrive.
Happy Monday, Everyone!
Gracey
Was the person who called you sir perhaps a crazy homeless beggar? You look gorgeous in this, sweetie! It's so dainty-looking hemmed!
ReplyDeleteSir? Huh? Clearly, some people are just weird.
ReplyDeleteI liked that dress the first time, but the shorter length is awesome. I really need to dig my sewing machine out of whatever cupboard I stuck it in, and do some alteration of my own.
Adorable miss! LOL! I agree with Ana, people are just weird
ReplyDeleteI love the shorter hem! As you know, I go on hemming rampages with my dresses and skirts as well :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe the person who called you "sir" was just trying to be forward-thinking? On the TV show Castle, the female police chief makes everyone call her "sir" instead of "ma'am". (Can't say I blame her - I hate the word "ma'am".)
Okay, NOW I AM going to hem the dress I'm wearing today. I've been on this same rampage, although the cutting and actual hemming will need to wait until the break between my semester.
ReplyDeleteit looks great shortened gracey girl! sir or ma-am it all sounds southern. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou never look mannish. More like tall and fabo. I love what you did with that dress, but I'm convinced that a skinny coral belt is an essential accessory. Note to self: get one.
ReplyDeleteuhm was that person blind? That's the only way someone could call someone sir or maam. In my opinion, no one should ever use sir or maam unless they're talking to people in their 100s.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that dress and that cute belt!

Love the new length! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteGreat new length. And your wittiness is always amusing. Sir?!
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda hoping I'll get a few "sirs" once I shave my head. Gender-bending is awesome.
ReplyDeleteNooooiiiice job on the hemming! Last Thursday I took in a dress that I've had for nearly a year, and now I can't wait to bust it out. I think I used up all my sewing mojo, though...
I love the new length, I love the old length, too,
ReplyDeleteI think I just love this dress on you.
You look great!
yeah for hemming! i like the pringlike way this is worn.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how a few inches can make a difference. Before it was cute in a retro way, now it looks much more modern, think Urban Outfitter.
ReplyDeleteI'm faking spring over here too! But I hafta say, I'm not as optimistic...real spring would be better :( Loving this dress shorter--gives it a really sweet, fresh look!

ReplyDeleteThis dress is an absolute gem. It has a great print and is so flattering.
ReplyDeleteBoth gorgeous. Why the heck did someone call you sir? Was it on the phone? Is your voice deep? You do not look like a sir at all. Love the dress and the length. dawn suitcase vignettes xo
