I have dubbed this dress the sisterhood of the traveling dress, after the movie Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. I named it that after this straight sized medium dress magically fit me and two other friends with two very different bodies and still managed to look good on all of us.I doubt you could tell it from these photos, but I was not having the best day. I had just signed my lease the day before and was having a nervous breakdown about the enormity of all of it. In typical bloomie fashion I broke down in tears in front of my friend/work wife/colleague/regular photographer Nicole and she was so worried about my well-being that she insisted that I hop on a train to Westchester for a pre-Yom Kippur fast meal. (Is it completely terrible that ate a big meal and proceeded to not fast?)
So here we are at the train station in Westchester doing our photo shoot. It wasn't however my first shoot of the day. Early in the day I headed over to Governor's Island where I was lucky enough to model for one of my very favoritest websites Adipositivity (warning, it's NSFW). All of my photos haven't been posted yet, but you'll be able to spot at least one of them very, very easily. I was hoping to get more naked than I was able to, but even just wearing my Mermaid Parade costume we got questioned by the staff and so we scurried off the island before we really ruffled any feathers. It was a wonderful experience and I hope I get to pose for the lovely Substantia Jones again sometime soon. I'm envisioning a winter photo shoot where I wear boots, hat, an open coat and nothing else. Wouldn't that be cute?
As I mentioned the dress is a medium dress from Macy's in-house brand INC that I got via my friend Mirka. My red peek-a-boo bra is from Lane Bryant (which if nothing else has cute bras), my necklace is from Peacock's, earrings are from a street fair and sunnies are from Primark. Big smile is due to the insane conversation I had with my girlfriends on the train up to Irvington. I really do believe that you're never fully dressed without a smile.
And I'm wearing my summer staple Dansko sandals, replete with my pedicure that would be more in place on an 8 year old than a 31 year old.

magnifique comme d habitude ;O)
ReplyDeleteHey Bloomie, am being really dense but which one on the website is you?
ReplyDeleteThis one is me, it's the same dress I'm wearing in these photos. http://adipositivity.my-expressions.com/archives/9478_1745602162/349911
ReplyDeleteYou're the one with the great shoes and the sexy legs! Would not have recognized you if it hadn't been for the dress. I am completely envious of your photoshoot!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is really great! I love how the beautiful accessories sort of bring out the dress. And, of course, I love the red peek-a-boo bra.
Don't worry about feeling overwhelmed by signing the lease, that's completely normal! Usually, after the feeling of being overwhelmed passes, a feeling of exhilaration follows, so that's something to look forward to:=)
Hooray! I saw the Adipositivity photo and thought that had to be your rear view. :D (Long-time reader, first-time commenter, hi.)
