Tuesday. Tuesday.
What to do with myself? Feeling bored I thought this vintage dress might cheer me up. I popped it on over my head and added the funky boots for contrast. I even did a little jig to Jerk It Out by The Caesars! in video format. Not sure if I'll post it yet, though. hahah. Maybe?? One day....
Dress: Vintage. Bow headband: do it yourself. Bracelets: My Mom's plastic prayer beads. Flat Boots: eBay.

You always mix feminine with tough PERFECTLY. I honestly have yet to see another blogger who has mastered this skill as you have, my wondrous Erika. I need more posh yet powerful boots, now!

My lovely friends- thank you for the warm comments, super support and above all, your visits and joyful feedback. I'm off to bed. After filling my belly with chicken casserole and lots of chocolate, I'm sleepy.

I so heart those boots!!!!
omg is that dress jessica mclintock? i totally had a similar one in hot pink... when i was in junior high...
LOVE it in white!
Love the dress, love the hair, love the pics....but how about ballet flats to soften the look...or maybe some lace-up granny boots? Oh well, you usually know best!
you have the cutest little beauty mark on your neck and I love how clean your makeup is!
Hiii lovers! =]
To answer some of your questions-
The dress is from a vintage boutique, saw it in the window display and she called out my name. I never thought about it before, but it does make for fun and flirty wedding attire. <3
The song on my profile is 'Love You All' by Cloud Cult. :]
@ Anonymous 1:18 - You're sweet. I love the fresh faced look best.
THE VIDEO?? Hmm. maybe? We'll see. =]
love the way you have putted the dress with the boots! amazing

Hello, my fair Erika!
Fellow Audrey Hepburn admirer! I love that musical, My Fair Lady.
That dress is gorgeous, wow. Like a wedding dress. Like, if it was longer ^^ But gorgeous all the same. You gave it such a cool and unexpected twist with the boots.
And the bracelets are perfect with it.
Ohh, I'd love to see that video! :)
And you were so good at putting together the outfit, you could be my personal stylist for Mondays and Wednesdays ;-)
Kisses,
Cate

Ok and I clicked through your profile page to get here and I saw you have an audio clip that I am listening to as I type this!!! I LOVE LOVE your voice!!!! and lady you need to seek work in TV! You are STUNNING on camera!!!!

I love the contrast between the grungy boots and the too sweet for words dress-- I also like the addition of the prayer beads.. Its a thrown together look but it works in a truly unique way.
