HELLO FROCKERS!So this above photo of me sorta looks like I am smoking...
But I can assure you I am only blowing fluffy pieces of whatever the heck the plant is seen behind me... Why?? I dunno I felt the urge too and followed through.
(Maybe I should have just not explained anything at all)
LOL
So here is my FrockIt was thrifted last weekend. I paid about $0.60 cents for it.
The inside tag is so faded it is barely readable... but finally I made out that it said Jillian. (It sort of reminds me of a dress Edith would wear)
I have been watching episodes of (All in the family) like a crazy woman. And I am always lusting after Edith Bunkers dresses
(Now they really aren't anything extravagent or amazing... just cute house dresses)
But I still love them. This one is my favorite so far!
(Maybe because it's green and checkered)
*AHHHH it's COLD out here, the water behind me is frozen*But this post is about the dress... so if I come down with a cold I am blaming all of you.

Alright see that GIANT gold tinsel ball?? It's about 2 feet across in size.I am pretty sure it was part of a vintage Christmas Mall display or something.
I paid $1.99 for it. Then didn't know how the heck I was gonna hang it (Because a Tack totally wouldn't cut it) ... So we screwed a lovely hook in the ceiling and VOILA
MERRY BIG BALL!
I find it *ENchanting*

The neckline on your dress is really lovely.
