1980s

Feeling fruity. And why not? It’s summer.

I don’t exactly hunt for vintage dresses with fruit splashed across them, even if they might match my little corner of the internets…. But when I ran across this vintage 80′s dress covered in all kinds of fruit I didn’t argue with the Universe. I scooped it right up. Fruit is refreshing on a warm day, and so was this little black dress. Something new (and thriftily priced) always makes me feel a bit better. Here’s to lemonade and lemon dresses, friends! What little surprising find has happened in your world lately?

In which I spy on spiders in cornfields while wearing polka dots

May 16, 2012 By marie 1 Comment

I have Mr. Lemondrop to thank for this lovely backdrop of growing corn. He was driving by a field and decided to bring the family back to see the waving stalks. I found a pretty spiderweb while walking in totally inappropriate heels. It’s the little things that make your day; nature, being with your family, and polka dots. I wore this authentic 1980′s dress to an 80′s themed day at work and no one thought I had dressed up. They were all wearing Madonna cut up sweatshirts and neon. Sigh. So misunderstood. Hope your wardrobe choices receive better recognition.

Jagged little sweater and blog picture backdrop musings

October 26, 2011 By marie 9 Comments

Love this little 80′s sweater, such attitude in such a tiny garment. And I do mean tiny, it’s meant to be a bit short and I forgot to add a belt. Do you like my wind swept hair? Sexy, no? More like annoying because I couldn’t see, but I am too lazy to do pictures more than once. I just share what I can when I can now that I have a little Lemondrop to fuss over.

Mr. Lemondrop, my photographer, seems to think he is Giles Bensimon lately, and has several comments about my choice of backgrounds for blog shots. I love historic places, and can be happy with any background that is old, crumbly, and has a history. Mr. L. only likes historic places that are restored to previous grandeur. Give me chippy paint and worn wood and I am just fine. Most of my wardrobe is vintage, so a vintage background just makes sense to me. I was into shabby chic back when it was just old and worn out castoffs.

If you shoot outfits photos where are your fave places to pose? Are you picky or easily satisfied with your backdrops?
