Long Live me Favorite Long Dress! -sandra, topps, writeousmom #fashion #longdress

as st patricks day nears..   and, as we are currently working on our st patricks day yard art

 [3 10ft tall irish dancers..]   i find myself using 'me' for fun when i talk about things..

it's such an irish thing...

increases feb and march; then subsides again until the next year.   with that in mind..

long live me favorite long dress!  slainte!

****

women know..   long dresses come and go, trend in and out, quicker than [interactive creative non-fiction crowd sourcing here];

and that is as true for summer as it is winter..   

*****

for this reason, if i go look, to double check what i'm about to share is true..

yes!  this is the one and only long dress in my closet.   and, even though i have a number of dresses in my closet..    a number of cute, pretty, cocktail, formal, casual dresses..

this is my personal favorite of all my dresses, short or long.  and the number one reason for that is this:  look at that fabric!  that silky-ish, flowy, soft, beautiful fabric with such a gorgeous flower pattern design! and i crazy love the color palette!  the black background, with the tan, beige, silver; the detailed lining of the flowers..  it all blends into something so beautiful to me...  there's something that works about the size of the flowers and design..  like, i'm only guessing, but i don't think if it had lots of large flowers, or medium flowers, that i would be as drawn to it..

and even though it has this darker color palette, because the fabric is thin and light..  i've worn it by day and by night.  i've worn it for formal occasion and casual occasion..

it does come with a separate spaghetti strap black lining slip that sits underneath.  love that also!  use it as a slip for other dresses too

anyway,  it is my current plan to keep this dress forever..   because i LOVE the fabric, and because long dresses trend out..    i have considered having lesa transform it into something else..   just a skirt?   just a blouse..  and create 2 separate pieces...

but exactly because long dresses will without any doubt, trend back in..

and i love it as it is so very much.   it will remain as is..   

and,  -as we love to do for many occasions  -my husband and i enjoy color coordinating..

for that reason, the pix of us together at the top, is a treasure to me.   xoxo
