frocks

Some recent frocks - this first one is a vintage find from eBay, and it used to have long sleeves. They were made of a thin, almost paper-like fabric, and because it was old & brittle it kept splitting in various places. So it actually sat in my closet for ages, until I finally took it to the tailor to have the sleeves removed. Et voila:

Today I'm wearing this Mara Hoffman dress. The only thing I don't love about it is the fact that I need to pin it in front for work. It tends to migrate scandalously low, which is not really the vibe I'm going for in the office. I guess it's not horrible, but I hate how you can just *tell* when a wrap dress is pinned. It messes with the lines. But anyway...

(My photographer and soul mate, Rod, pointed out how excellent the skirt looked in this photo. His fashion observations always crack me up a little bit...but are usually spot-on. :)
