Hamming It Up

Glasses: BonLook
Shoes: Nordstrom

Saturday evening I was sweating away in the kitchen working on a failed dessert recipe, when Katie texted me and asked me if I wanted to go for a drink. Admittedly my only plans for the evening were cleaning up the mess I had made, so I decided to say "Screw the mess!" and hang out with Katie!

Katie suggested we do some blog photos before dinner and at first I was NOT convinced. Ya'll, I was on day 3 of my shower cycle, I had been tromping around blueberry fields in the morning and sweating in the kitchen most of the afternoon. Needless to say, my hair was gnarly as hell, and on top of that, the thought of putting on real clothes seemed like the worst.

I ended up rallying, because hey! Sometimes my hair is a little gross and that's ok! Also, because this polka dot dress is so stinking cute and so easy to just throw on and go. It's so cute and comfy that you can wear it all damn day in the summer heat. I also love the back more than I can possible say. Any dress that has cute cut-outs in the back but still let's you wear  normal bra is a winner in my book!

We had a total blast taking these photos. I for one, could not do a serious pose to save my life. We had a blast hamming it up for the camera and then went and grabbed some delicious Indian food. Yum!

All in all, it was a great impromptu get together! Katie is the best!

  2. love you cuties more than words can say. i can't believe how cute that dress is, and i agree SO HARD that there need to be more dresses with cute back cutouts that still allow you to wear a normal bra. i won't even tempt fate with backless stuff anymore because i just don't know how ladies do it. those stick on cutlets just don't cut it (especially in 100* heat in ausin--they just slide right off). /TMI

  3. These photos are adorable. :) I love making the best of a mess. Like my national pie day pie this year.. just didn't work.. but I felt relieved! It doesn't always have to work out! :) KC and I are starting to plan for Seattle this week! So you should definitely shoot me an email or something with your recommendations! (We are going to try to pop up to Victoria or Vancouver (or both) as well. XO-Alexandra

  4. I love how joyful you are in these photos! Personality wins out over "perfect" hair and serious poses in my book. I tried on that same dress a while ago, wanted it but didn't buy it, and now I want it again. It looks great on you! Also love Katie's head scarf :)

  6. Ah you guys are too silly & cute! I wish I had a blogging buddy who lived close by. Every few weeks I try to convince my bff to start one so she doesn't give me THAT LOOK when I say blog photos...but no dice so far.

  13. I finally have a chance to comment on this and tell you how ridiculously cute you are! How cute you BOTH are! I so wish I could take your advice and escape to Seattle and hang out with you both! Stupid money getting in my way. And this is probably the best dress ever. It's a good thing I can't afford to visit you because I would most likely steal this dress while I was there.
