Why?

Yesterday was filled with more basketball.  Why do I feel like a broken record?  Could it be that this blog has only really talked about two things....dresses and basketball? 

No matter.  Here's what I wore yesterday.

A lot of dresses that I've found, I haven't worn until now, but this one I have worn to games before.  It's A line form makes it real comfy and I love the plaid with the bright red trim and buttons.  When I bought it at the thrift store, I noticed that it didn't have a tag, so some one has hand made this.  I can appreciate that.  I would like to try and pull a pattern off this dress.  I don't think it would be hard to make, but I don't want to have to tear the dress apart to accomplish it.  For now, I'll keep my eyes open for a pattern that resembles it.

Looking/thinking about the dresses that I have worn this far, I've found that I really like ones with collars.  I think I should look for or make some more that have collars.  I would really like one with a Peter Pan collar.  We'll see.

At the basketball games, I have had a few people ask me why I am doing this.  Maybe I am crazy.  I said it was because I was bored.  Maybe it's both.  I have always maintained that I was born in the wrong era.  Most people, after hearing this, proceed to tell me that I wouldn't be able to live in times past....."you wouldn't like it", "without your makeup and curling iron?", and "you would have to wear a dress all of the time".  While hearing these reasons, I am usually thinking "have you not seen me without my makeup?".  I tend to go a lot of places, especially in the summer, without my makeup and hair done.  Simply put, I guess I just want to see if I can do it - wear a dress everyday and how I would feel about it.  That's all.  A challenge for myself.
