Look verrrryyy carefully at these photos. Do you see it? Look carefully. It’s the sun!! And bare legs; no tights, no leggings. Hallelujah! Sunshine and melting snow, life is good. Although not necessarily for the world’s dumbest hornet. We have these striped devil-beast insects that nest somewhere on the side of our house. Several times every summer, they plot and scheme and stage unprovoked attacks on me. Only me, no one else. They dive in out of nowhere like teeny tiny kamikaze pilots, sting me and then vanish. Two summers ago one of the little cretins gave me a black eye. Yes, I got a black eye from an insect. It stung me right under my left eye which then swelled up and bruised. Needless to say, I detest them. With every fiber of my being. When I went out to take these pictures one of the little geniuses was sitting there ever so gently flexing it’s wings. On top of a melting snowdrift. Yes, it’s certainly warming up outside, but only an intellectually stunted hornet would be out perched on a pile of snow. What did I do? Buried him of course. I’m sure his brethren were watching from somewhere and I’ll pay dearly once it stays above 60 on a regular basis.
I’ve worn this chambray shirtdress as a duster, but this is it’s first spin as an actual dress. The scarf was a recent birthday gift from my adopted mom and it couldn’t have been more perfect with the chambray. And I swear the boots are brown, but due to the overabundance of sweet, sweet sunlight reflecting off of the remaining snow they look rather black. On it’s own this dress is rather sack-like and plain, but I suppose that’s what makes it such a great starting point. I added the loose double wrap belt because while it needed belted to give it some definition, it hung oddly with a tighter belt. The scarf was perfect for adding a pop of color and some visual interest to what would otherwise be a yawn worthy dress.
