evening gown by summerfield

evening gown

taking a wildcard tonight for the challenge because i'm a tad lazy to set up the vinegar or the oil. it's much easier to pull out this piece of cloth from the closet.

i'm not the type to wear formal dress or gowns although i can easily rock a cocktail dress. but four years ago when i had to attend our alumni formal gala, i acquiesced to wearing a gown, something i succeeded in avoiding all my young life. go figure. grandmere in an evening gown, high heels, coiffed hairdo, manicure, pedicure, the works. damn make-up artist at the salon even trimmed my eyebrows. the three-inch heels were the punishment as my bunions screamed all the time i was ballroom dancing. needless to say, i walked, in bare feet, the two blocks to where we parked our car. i didn't care.

but good thing i didn't get rid of this, or i won't have a photo for tonight. well, i'm sure i'd find something else. but who wears overalls?!?

my same-subject photo is here: http://365project.org/summerfield/365/2012-10

thank you, ladies and gents, for your views and comments; much appreciated.
Pretty dress! lol I was so mad at myself as one of the teens was wearing overalls at the church yard sale and I forgot to take a photo of him!!
