Whimisical dresses in Park Slope, Brooklyn








Pixlr.com editor allows you to do amazing things, and that's how I created this pop art number. The original shot is below, but I prefer my "art-ed up" version. While I was editing it, I was getting ready for a concert with "The Drums," a great band based out of Brooklyn who are tearing up the world right now. The song is playable above. The wispy feel of this dress makes me think of the sweet melancholy and whimsical tune of this amazing song.  I thought a quote from it would be a perfect title.

I edited the original photo in the first place because I wanted to take my big ass arm out of it.  :-)  I mean every girl can have her insecurities. 
The original to "Broke my soul"
I shot this photo in a wonderful community park in between Boerum Hill and Park Slope.  I found it as families were spending the days gardening, and no one seemed to mind me taking photos in the beautiful light.  It was a great way to show off my sister's Missoni for Target Skirt/Dress that she scored from last year's collection.  It's supposed to be a skirt, but I particularly like it as a dress.  It shows off my shoes and the great wave pattern on the bottom of the hem.

To dress the look up I put my great Miu Miu wedges and a vintage gold necklace that I bought from a boutique called "Banquet," on Atlantic Ave.  I get nothing but compliments when I wear it, and I adore how it matches the flow of the outfit.

My last accessory is my True Religion leather jacket.  This dress isn't work appropriate without something covering the shoulders and I love the "maxi dress look" with a leather jacket.

This look been reported by other fashion bloggers as trends (okay one), and I thought I'd take advantage.  It looked great against the green ivy of the beautiful garden.  Brooklyn has some amazing spaces.  You just need to get out and explore!

  1. Love that song! When you do your photo shoots do you use a tripod or do you have a photographer?

    1. Tripod with a self timer or remote control. You can see in my hand the little remote if you look really close some times. I love the photography part of it as much as the fashion stuff. Glad you like! Seriously. you're going to be featured one day in LA. :-)
