My Velvet Dress

Hi Foxy Friends! I'm somewhat excited to share with you my outfit today. Today over on The Blended Blog we're sharing the oldest thing in our closet. I dug deep and I have NO idea why it's still in my closet, but it is...and I'm breaking it out for you. I wish I had a picture of me wearing it previously, but can't find one. Darn. So you ready? This dress is almost 25 years old...and I wore it for when we performed in Wind Ensemble in high school. It still FITS!


You know the whole Marie Kondo thing, this dress still sparks joy. While I know I don't wear it, but it just brings back such great memories. I know you probably aren't suppose to keep things that are just sentimental, but it's my closet and I want to!  So my dad went with me to buy this dress. We bought it at Windsors on the sale rack, mark down,  mark down. I think we spent about $20 and went running out the store just in case it was a mistake. I wore it for the 3 years I was in Wind Ensemble.

Note: In you case you didn't know I played trombone for 12 years. I know you were all wondering what I played. And I haven't picked it up since leaving college.


I can't even believe my dad bought this dress for me...this is the back. I was in 10th grade people.


In other news, since I lost my camera lens and the wireless remote (I know they are hanging out together making fun of me...probably in plain site), Baby Fox was my shutter button pusher. I set up the tripod and he pushed the button, let me tell you kids have no sense of when to push it. I kept telling him to stop pushing it when I was still moving. Then he goes...OHHHHH, that makes sense. LOL. I told him to pose so I could take a test shot, silly kid.

So now that I've showed you a dress that you can't get, let me give you some options that you can get. Surprisingly I found one that is super similar, except that it's short instead of long. This one is very similar in style, but it's long sleeve mesh and not velvet. And this one, is velvet, has mesh, and a cute back as well.

Then I found some velvet full length dresses that have no mesh, but are super cute for a ball type function.

Option 1 (a friend bought this one and is 40% off right now)
Option 2
Option 3 (my favorite and 40% on sale)
