Yabba Dabba DRESS!
Friday, January 11, 2013
So last week Sarah and I did our first little blog session for each other, and I've just now actually gotten the photos, because someone doesn't know how to use file-sharing sites. We had a nice little afternoon (with sun!) at Wright Park in Tacoma. It's kind of a go-to place for photos, just because it's so big and has a nice bit of lawn and a lot of trees. Plus, there's free parking.
This was honestly my first purchase from Modcloth, and I absolutely LOVE IT. It's the Fine Sprint Dress (oh god the puns), but I think they should change the name to the Yabba Dabba Dress. Seriously, if you look at the print up close, how can it not remind you of Pebbles and Bam Bam?
It's so soft and fits quite nicely, but the color is definitely different from what the picture shows on the website. It's more of a muted pumpkin color than a true orange like you think.

I paired it with an amazing coat my mom and I found at the Gig Harbor Goodwill, for $18, but still it's a nice coat. You can see a little bit at the photo below, but the lining is PINK!


I love flatforms for us tall girls, because it gives almost the same illusion of platform wedges, but we don't end up being 6'4" in the process. I only add 2 inches with these, instead of 6.
Also, these are great in the winter with tights or in the summer without them.
The one gripe is that if you do step on them the wrong way, there's a much better chance that you'll twist your ankle, and the strap could be a bit more durable, but for $20, I'm not complaining.
I can't for the life of me remember what brand these brown tights are, but I got them from TJMaxx in a set of two. Gotta love a 2 for 1!
The necklace is from Forever 21. I honestly feel like giving up on Forever 21 except for the jewelry.

Thanks for checking out my blog, and I assure you that it will be a regular thing. Sarah and I made promises to each other that we'd stick with this - together! Go check out her blog Lady Go Lightly Vintage, since I'll be taking all the photos for her, so you might as well, haha.
Stay tuned for more of my general girly musings here. If I don't update, please nag me. I'm serious. Also, how do you like the new blog title? I've changed my mind so many times and I think I like this one.
Best wishes!

P.S. You get all the high-fives if you get that reference.
