Gingham, bedhead, enormous sunglasses…

Sunday, April 20, 2008

Really, all that's necessary to fully embrace the day.

Guess I got what I asked for, what with this gray Sunday o' thunderstorms. I'm watching the rain while curled up with my kitties and The Portable Dorothy Parker. We might go a little crazy later and break out Enchanted. (It's true! A Disney comedy I haven't actually seen yet!)

In sunnier times (i.e., Friday, which was spent running around on some errands), I sported this green gingham vintage wrap dress with an empire waist, $10 from the Rockville Goodwill. (FYI, did you know we were supposed to be pronouncing it om-peer waist? I personally did not. Thanks for the tip, What Not to Wear!) The dress is nicely voluminous and airy and big meal-appropriate, though Commander Robot (as you can see) was not overly impressed.

PS) Hey, would anyone out there in Internetland be able to invite me to fffound? Much obliged.

I love big shades, and yours are perfect! And Enchanted is my favorite Disney flick of recent years - I'm glad they did another princess story!

Weird. A friend sent me this crazy image from ffffound just this morning: http://ffffound.com/image/1f339990b1e37dcf71382cc36282fe897c7d0e50. And we tried to tap our e-resources to get an invite. No luck.

PS -- Tight gingham!

It totally rocked my world when I heard Stacy London say "om-peer waist." But I can't bring myself to say it like that in real life because it sounds so damn snobby.

Your so adorable in all of your vintage outfits.

ha - saw that episode of what not to wear too - oops - bad pronunciation! love that dress.

I love empire waists! It's pronounced in that snooty way because the trend was started by Joséphine de Beauharnais, Napolean's wife. She was from Martinique and therefore spoke French. Thus, the 'taille empire' is a french term with french pronounciation!

Btw, cute gingham dress and even cuter slumbering cat behind you.
