    Dressember is Here!

    It’s December! I cannot believe we are here already, but I am so excited to participate in another Dressember. If you weren’t around last year and are wondering, Dressember is a fashion challenge for charity: women (and men, I suppose) wear a dress every day of the month in December to raise money towards freeing enslaved and abused women all over the world. 100% of the donated funds go directly to the International Justice Mission, an organization that helps abolish slavery, sexual exploitation, and other forms of oppression. I found Dressember last year through a sponsor, and I was immediately drawn to help! It is a cause that resonates deeply with…

    {Thrifted}: dress (9.99) and cardigan ($5.99); {Target}: Shoes (old); {Made} Necklace (who knows…) Since I missed a post yesterday (due to the fact that these pictures were on Mr. Owl’s camera at his house, and not in my computer where they belong), this is day four of the 30 Days of Dresses. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a day five picture, but that’s okay, because it was boring anyway. If you want to see the rest of this weekend’s dresses, check my Facebook page daily! They’ll be there. 😉 Also: my birthday is in seven days. Gah! I can’t believe it! I don’t even know what I want. Other than, you…

    30 Days of Dresses: For rainy days.

    Because of the 30 Days of Dresses challenge, I’ve postponed my usual Midweek Inspiration post. That, and I haven’t been reading blogs as faithfully as I usually do this week, so I didn’t find anything I particularly wanted to reinterpret my own way. I just realized that when I’m wearing dresses, I tend to style them as though they are skirts. Such as on day one, when I wore a cardigan over the dress so it looked like a skirt, or today (day three), when I folded the top of the dress under so… it basically is a skirt. With a bodice folded down. I just don’t tend to know quite…

    30 Days of Dresses: Day One.

    It’s time to start 30 Days of Dresses! I meant to start mine on Saturday, but then Mr. Owl and I went on a hike. And I haven’t mastered the art of hiking in a dress. (There was snow at the top. We slid on the way down.) So I started yesterday instead. Fun fact: the last time I remember wearing this dress, it was summer. And I had a tan. I miss summer. I want it to come back. If any of you want to join my friend Sarah and I, please do! I got a lot of comments (that I have yet to reply to, shame on me!)…
