Here we are at month three of the ever-popular Six Months + Six Dresses series, and I've got to say, I highly doubt I'll stop at six months.* Not only do I have a closet full of dresses that are just itching for a reason to be worn, I'm adding to said closet all the time. I DARE you to watch me pass a Forever 21 or little boutique thrift store without at least doing a "once-over" through the shop. It's impossible, I tell ya.
*For that reason, Miss Kyla Roma will always have a special place in my heart for inventing the awesomeness that is Six Months+ Six Dresses.
The worst part is, and I know this is totally a non-problem, but I'm actually really quite good a it...shopping, that is. Aside from forensic detective, pastry chef, elementary school teacher, and interior decorator, I think "personal shopper" is one of those things that I could have happily done with my life, had one or two things shifted just slightly.
That's okay that things stayed as-is though, because aside from the fact that I fucking love the direction my life is headed sans crime scenes to investigate and/or raspberry galettes to bake, it leaves the spoils of my shopping efforts to me, me, ME!!!

Take this month's dress, for example. I've had it for years and it's always been my favorite. That said, I've only worn it maybe three measly times.
I guess it's partly because a bright green dress with elephants on it that says "HE NEVER FORGETS" isn't really a dress that's party-ready. It's by far the most unique dress in my closet, and I believe that it's handmade, as there are no tags, no lining, and sturdy but messy stitching. 
It fits like a dream though, and I love imagining the girl who made it ages and treasured it as much as I do today.
I guess I've been wrong about it being not "party ready" all these years, if this photo of a slightly tipsy Alie and I in the empty restroom of a soiree we somehow conned someone into inviting us to proves anything (hint: it doesn't).

I.want.that.dress. But, alas, I realize it's one-of-a-kind and fits you perfectly.
Elephants are my favorite. I used to call them "I-Es" when I was little, cause I could not say "elephant." (Not sure how those are similar, eh)
You look lovely and this reminds me I still need to do June's dress myself.

That dress is perfect on you!! I can't get over the "He Never Forgets", what an incredible find! :)
I found you via the fabulous Ms. Kyla.
I love this dress and I love your style! Elephants are my good luck charm - and I can't travel without having one on me somewhere. I look forward to dress #4!
