Blonde bobs & brocade dresses

So I made this dress about a month ago. It was maybe kinda sorta inspired by these:

{Miu Miu Spring 2008}

And maybe this:

From Luella Spring 2009. Which, by the way, Zooey Deschanel wore to the Grammy's recently. Um, talk about killing two birds with one stone. Luella is pretty much like my favorite. And Zooey is pretty much like in my top three when it comes to ultimate girl crushes.

And alas, here is another one of my attempts at sewing and trying to make something without a pattern. AND. Wearing a blonde bob. AND managing to look purdy scary all at the same time:

I just might wear pants this spring.

Me wearing pants is an event that occurs, oh, about once a month. Twice a month, at most. I wear dresses purdy much everyday. I haaaate wearing pants. They are soooo uncomfortable. And they just are wayyyy too far from feminine for me. And I like to dress ultra femininely, so dresses just happen to be right up my alley. I'm always overdressed. I guess I just feel comfortable that way, for whatever reason.

When I saw the Luella Spring 2009 collection, I was magically inspired to at least look into wearing pants this spring! Like whoa. That's kind of a big deal for me. Luella's lilac and gold brocade pants.... and black and cream plaid pants just really floated my boat. Because they're not just pants. They're ullllltra feminine pants... and if paired with the right blouse (with ruffles, bows, pearls and all), it might make me feel as though I'm wearing a pretty dress? I don't know. We'll see how it goes this spring I guess...

But then, I took a gander at Temperley London's Spring 2009 collection and was suddenly soooo tempted by this ultra pretty black and white dress! Um, are you serious? I'm in LOVE with this dress. And most of my wardrobe happens to be black and white. Ahhhh.... oh how I love dresses....

Oh, and I'm in love with Caleb Followill, and I can't help it.
