Creeping myrtle

Outfit Details:
Luck Be a Lady Dress in Beach: ModCloth (other styles here)
Periwinkle cardigan (tied in back): old (similar here)
White heels: jcpenney (similar here)
White belt: ASOS (similar here)




Today's post will be very short, since I'm currently writing this from the JetBlue terminal at JFK, during our veryyy long layover on our way to Florida!  Also, these will be the last of the indoor photos for a while (I hope).  I'm bringing my new DSLR on vacation, so cross your fingers I'll be able to take some passable photos in nice, warm weather.  I took these photos the other day before my callback for Young Frankenstein.  I was called back for Elizabeth and Inga (the Madeline Kahn and Teri Garr roles, for those who know the movie), but I ended up being cast in the ensemble, which will still be fun.  The other show I'm doing overlaps quite a bit with this, so it's probably for the best.  However, I know that I sang the hell out of the Elizabeth songs, so I hope I'll get another chance to audition for a different production of it in my future (maybe when I'm actually the right age to play it).




Can one ever have enough Luck Be A Lady dresses?  I think not.  This one is actually shorter and tighter than the other ones I have (even though they're all the same size), but I'm sure it's because this brand (Closet) makes a lot of dresses in this same silhouette and they aren't actually all the same dress, regardless of how ModCloth categorizes them.  At least they're all incredibly flattering!


We'll be in Florida by the time this is posted, and I'm hoping to sneak away for a little while to take photos where my grandma lives.  The grounds are so pretty and there are gardens everywhere.  Cross your fingers for good weather (and magically-acquired camera skills)!

Who's got the button?

Outfit Details:
Children's Theatre Director Dress: ModCloth (old)
White button-down: ASOS (similar here)
Knee socks: ModCloth (similar here)
Brown flats: old (similar here)





Short post again today, guys.  I'm still in a lot of pain from getting my wisdom teeth out (I definitely have dry socket, woohoo) and have kind of been in a haze of sleep and medication.  The weather has also been giving us subzero temperatures, so even if I were in a state to take photos, they wouldn't be outside for now!  These photos are actually from a few weeks ago, when it wasn't unbearably cold.  It's certainly nice to think about that right now.  I hope to rejoin the world of the living very soon; it's getting lonely and I'm getting restless!  Hope you all are well.





PS: Speaking of "buttons" (since I love the ones on this dress so much), I finally got around to making some ad buttons for my blog!  There are a couple on the left sidebar, if you'd like to grab the code!  I also have a bunch more in different dimensions, but I didn't want to clog everything up with them.  I'd be so obliged if you wanted to put one up on your own blog (and if you want a different size, e-mail me)!  One of my goals for my second year of blogging is to put my advertising page up & start charging to advertise on my blog, but I am always willing to talk about ad swaps, as well.  :)
