Mini Dress Month

November 7, 2014,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I’m back at it turning shirts into dresses. Since my last mini dress I found this shirt at Goodwill. It could have gone maternity very quickly so I wore it as a dress for a 60s mod kind of look. We can’t all have legs like Twiggy but with a short dress and black tights at least we can fake it.

    Absolutely lovely. Love your smile, love your attitude, love your intelligence……… love your chuzpa to wear such a short dress(shirt). Love your ballet flats……and of course you always look great in black tights.

    I have for the past couple of years worn tights and shorts on campus, but this fall I discovered all the grey rompers/playsuits at Misguided…. and have bought way too many. I’ve been wearing them faithfully and have moved from tights to sheer tights.
    Style and chic seems to be a slippery slope for me……

    Jayme, your fashion and ballet loving GUY fan from New England.

      I adore tights. Opaque, sheer, solid, patterned, lace, tromp l’oeil, light, dark, tights of all kinds.
      Your words……
      Since I was 5 and started ballet, I’ve been in tights……… unlike pretty much most of my friends growing up (the girls I did dance with), I like wearing tights. Maybe I should have lived in the 1400s.
      my words…….
