I Just Can�t Like It

I want to like this dress:

I really do.  But, I just can�t.  It�s just not right for me and it makes me pose like an idiot.  I�m perfectly capable of idiotic posing on my own; I don�t need the help.

This dress just seemed like such a good idea when I thrifted it months ago.  I mean, it�s red; I love red.  And it has stripes; I love stripes.  And it�s vintage; I love vintage.  And yet, I don�t like this dress.  I even took the time to hem it above the knee, thinking that might help.  It didn�t.  

At first I didn�t wear it because I wasn�t sure how to style it.  But, I like the styling today.  I think the ankle strap flats (Hive and Honey via Piperlime) and the thin belt (Steven Madden) are good choices.  Just with a different dress.  Luckily, my friend Alex has agreed to take this dress off my hands, which leaves me with just one more never worn dress in my closet.  After I wear that, I�m shutting my Nosh Opping Expedition down.

I�ll finish it up this weekend with look at my expedition log and a retrospective of everything that didn�t make the cut.  And then Maurice and I are flying home (he�s going to live in the backyard).

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!
