A double dose of a “daily outfit” AND an “as seen in”!

This weekend was the weardrobe meetup! It was lots of fun. A gorgeous day, great company, and a bounty of yummy snacks; what more could you want? We all gathered in sheep’s meadow under the shade of 9 red balloons. It was something out of a Sex and the City-meets-Great Gatsby, but in a 21st Century-internet-meetup kinda way. (Does that description even make sense?) Anyways it was lots of fun, and Jenni from Daily Work It beat me to the punch (not hard to do) and blogged about it first, see more pictures on her blog! (Of course she caught me in a fit of nervous laughter… so typical)

Why:
This past weekend was so hot! I knew I wanted something light and easy to wear, so this cotton strapless dress was a no-brainer. I bought it on sale (of course) and couldn’t wait to wear it out. The easy, layer-less look worked perfectly for the day, and I didn’t get any weird tan lines from it! (Note: I am aware that I have a bathing-suit tanline from my vacation in Wisconsin over the 4th of July).

I like the dress a lot, but wish it was a little shorter. Trying to decide if it’s worth “Frankenstein-ing” the dress, and moving the zipper, the pockets, and the empire gathers in an effort to shorten it. Any suggestions?
