I'm super excited about this blog post, being that I got to wear a one of a kind, truly couture, Funky Orange dress to Denver's Fashion Flash Mob! The event was held to represent the fashion community as part of the Biannual of the Americas. It had a great turn out! We have so many amazing and creative designers here in Colorado. I often complain about how most people here dress like they're gonna pick up and go camping next, but the fashion community seems to be growing quickly and I can't wait until it explodes. It was also invigorating to see that the event attracted some media and many curios bystanders. I felt so privileged to have been part of the event and to have been representing Desiree's Funky Orange designs with this standout charming dress. I felt so innovative in it and it breaks my heart that I have to return it today.

OK so I might not be full-on 90's, but I did my best. Some friends and I dressed in theme to go see Clueless at Red Rocks. Such a classic! But boy was the weather forecast wrong. Instead of clear sunny skies we got pouring rain, almost throughout the entire length of the movie. We toughed it out though. What? Did you think we'd leave? As if!!

I finally got my patent leather bow pumps back from the shoe repair shop. Last time I wore them I got my heel stuck in a crack on the pavement and pulled the tip off. I'm very happy to have them back, they even shinned them for me!


Yes, I'm wearing a figure forming mini. It's not very typical of me to be so risque, but I was totally inspired by Kayko Lynn's blog post. Which by coincidence, before even reading her post I had stood debating whether to get this, or the other (her) striped mini (they were side by side on the rack), or even getting one at all. Nonetheless, I opted for the stripes and also ended up getting a modest tunic to wear over it. So it was at perfect timing that when I dared to buy such a scandalous piece she would blog about it. I did take it baby steps though and wore it with the tunic first.

Some times I get an inspiration block and don't know what to wear. Today was one of those days. I wasn't sure I should even post this outfit but Hannah took such cute pictures I didn't want to hide them away.


I did like how the necklace complimented the colors of the cardigan though.

With this hot weather it felt great to put these light loose fitted clothes, and flats! I've been in high heels most of the week!

By coincidence, I met a Texan the day I wore this outfit. He said he would bet $100 bucks that I was from Texas; I had to break it to him easy. In his defense, it was a very logical mistake, I looked the part and I was even bubblier than my usual self. I find the debate of whether or not clothes have an affect on personality very interesting. I can only speak for my self, but I do believe they have an effect on me. Not a very drastic one, and my core beliefs are always deeply in place, but I do notice little differences in myself. I think it's because I find everyone's differences and uniqueness so extraordinary that it's easy for me to find those qualities within myself and highlight them. OK, so now that I've found my inner Plato, before I go sit on a rock and ponder the meaning of life I must encourage you to try a different outfit. One that you've always admired but never thought you could pull off.
