Back To School.

I've been out of school for a few years now but I think I've been missing that feeling a tiddly bitty-o this fall. The smell of freshman blood, the crispness of untouched notebooks, the computer-strained eyes, the need to purchase new clothes... 

Ah yes, those were the days!

To commemorate this feeling, I found myself pulling out a short pleated skirt, a thin long sleeve sweater and of course a nice little blazer to complete the Catholic School Girl look. I pranced around in this attire with my daughter and husband at Pier 39 in San Francisco, as all the kiddies were back hitting the books.

Ha!

I guess it DOES pay to be an adult sometimes.

White Vintage Dress + Nude Wedges

My mom wore this dress 30 years ago and now it's aaaall mine! Thanks Mom :)

This awesome adjustable vintage dress  has a crisscross drawstring back, allowing you to customize the size (perfect for buffets!), flutter sleeves, and unique neck lace. No, not necklace, but neck lace. Check it out - it's two separate pieces attached to the dress on either side and they meet together in the middle via button. Cool, no? I love it!

Now I know not everyone's gonna love the look. I even had someone say to me today that I look like I belong on the set of Big Love. (Ahem, Mr. Fee) But no matter, it's how it makes me feel and that's what counts, and  I feel like a true lady in this.

Let's play use your imagination!

Pretend the camera is Medusa.

Nah ah ah.

No looking.

Not even a peep!

Pretend yo a balla comin outta a club doin the nose balla pose.

Pretend your hair is a waterfall

Pretend your house is being robbed.

Quick, put on every single piece of jewelry you own and run out of the house!

Blue Vintage Dress + Brown Wedges

I've been inundated with tons of questions about what to wear to your annual pap.

As in pap smear, not pap(arazzi). 

Ha - You wish I was talkin bout the other pap! 

But really, more like, I wish I was talkin' 'bout the other pap.

Le sigh.

Well, here ye, here ye!

This is one of my fave pap ready, easy access, bold dresses:

Access to the neckage.

Keepin' the part, parted.
Wait, which part parted? Wait, what are YOU thinkin'?!

Rump shakin excitement! Can't wait to get my pap! 

Starting to feel AWKWARD.

Don't forget to shave-ah da armpitah for the breasticles examinations.
My sincerest apologies to Nurse Jennifer.
