Not bad, right? I found this pretty dress at a thrift store in Phoenix a couple weeks ago. I. LOVE. IT. It's completely see-through so I have to wear a mega slip and an undershirt underneath it, but it's totally worth it. I love the slightly irregular vertical stripes and the gorgeous (and possibly slightly kitschy) roses on the top & bottom. You can't tell from the picture, but the super short cap sleeves give the shoulders a more boxy look when worn plain. Shoulders are so hot right now.
How was your weekend? Chris and I went to see Miike Snow in concert this weekend. It was awesome! They really know how to put on a good show. Everyone was singing and grooving along to their super hip dancy beats. We were incredibly lucky and ended up in the very front, less than 5 feet away from the lead singer. It wasn't so cool when a bunch of drunk girls were trying to push us out of the way to take our spots, but Chris dominated with all of his 212 lbs of muscle. It was so funny to see how hard they tried. One of them probably played powder puff in high school because she was trying all sorts of football tackling moves. Silly drunk girls. My husband is bigger than you. So there.
We also bought tickets to go see Yeasayer on the 23rd. I'm SO excited for that one, too! I'm practicing my uber cool dance moves already. If you're not familiar with Yeasayer, you NEED to go watch this video RIGHT NOW. Just try not to dance. You'll find it completely impossible.
What did you do this weekend? Find any cool deals? Dance like a maniac? Craft like a crazy person? Do tell.
