Wiw: No red, white & blue

bj1111

Ylf dresses me. I think the brown makes the whites pop.

The blue dress was taken it by an inch on each side around the armpits and upper torso. Tiny but very impactful. I have a shape!

Bonus shot of the reason why we are at a hotel today. Freak storm wed and power is still out. Good news, the tree on our deck is now firewood.

Happy Friday

The blue dress looks fab on you! I love it with clogs.

Poor tree. Years ago, we had one fall on our house, over our bedroom, while we were asleep in bed. Yes, I feel lucky it didn’t kill us. Most expensive firewood in the world.

Oh my goodness, so glad you are safe!
The brown belt does contrast the white beautifully, and adds some toughness to complement the eyelet. Nice! You look amazing in the dress too. Good call on the alteration.

Scary! But you look fab! Are those the Troentorp clogs? I think you need those in a variety of colors. Love them on you. White out is gorgeous too! Always a treat to see you!

@kellygirl, they are troentorps. I think I lemming’ed you. Honestly I feel the teensiest bit of envy when I see your wiw sets! Always so on point.

@JAileen—how frightening. Mature trees near the house are a great idea until there’s a crazy hurricane like storm.

@ChristieJ. Toughness—that was what I was looking for but didn’t know it.

I’m like both of these outfits. The white birks are super fab. The blue dress is a total winner and I like the clings with it. I think it does give it some muscle.
Ugh on the tree and the deck. It can be scary and expensive. We had a tornado rip through here 2 summers ago and I still get nervous when winds are high. On the positive side I have a new backyard which is beautiful.

Both outfits are beautiful and stylish. Love the addition of the brown belt. The dress fits you so well. I am sorry about the storm and the tree - so scary with the weather extremes happening now in so many places!

Swooning over #1….and the blue dress is great

We’ve had Fierce storms 3 days this week, so far I’ve been lucky and the powers not gone out, but it’s been out a couple of blocks away. Glad you where
Not hurt, and could deal with the tree timely

Really great outfits. The dress looks like it fits perfectly.
Good luck with the tree! Hopefully you have a spot to put the firewood!

Great outfits. I’m glad you are ok. We had a tree guy out this week to look at our trees. He found that a mature aspen leaning over our house was dead from girtleled roots. The next heavy snow may send it over. We hope to have it and maybe the whole clump removed soon.

Thant you for solving my problem of a topper for a brown dress. White!

Oh, wow! Glad the tree hit the deck and not the house! We had tornadoes here a year and a half ago that completely destroyed houses and buildings just 5 blocks from us. Now the entire city goes into a panic every time the wind gusts.

You have forever changed my opinion about eyelet blouses - yours looks so cool with the constrasting belt and birks!

Great white-out and I agree about the brown. The dress does indeed look like it was made for you, and the clogs suit you beautifully. Hope the power is back on by now.
