Music Notes

Ok, so, some of you may know I graduated with a degree in Music Education. I love music, adore it, and hope one day to teach it. So...when I saw this dress, as cheesy as it may sound, I knew I had to have it. Presenting the best music teacher dress ever.




I wore it last night to a Nashville blogger get together. Which was wonderful, I met lots of amazing gals and I can't wait to get together with them again soon.

I know I have become addicted to Trashy Diva, this is my third dress of theirs, and I have two more on my Christmas wish list. I've always wanted a dress cut like this, a wonderful 40's shape, and had never found a great repro one until I stumbled upon theirs. 
Any way, not only am I excited about this dress, but Thanksgiving and Christmas are so close! Eee, I love the holidays. I'm having the most fun planning gifts and whatnot. What are your favorite things about the holidays?

xo,

P.S. thank you for all the lovely comments on my hair tutorial! I have some more in the works involving wet sets.

  3. Gosh you are too cute! And I am also hoping to be teaching soon. Once, I wore a sea shell print dress for one of my lesson plans about the ocean and it was so much fun. I got plenty of compliments.

  4. I agree with all of the above!
    (And I'm very jealous that you have even one dress from Trashy Diva - your blog continues to make me jealous!)
    Gorgeous, m'love x

  6. You look AMAZING!!!! I saw this dress on Modcloth and thought it was so lovely, so I'm glad you own it because it looks wonderful on you! Trashy Diva do make some beautiful things, they recently released this gorgeous black and red plaid dress and I am so in love with it, hopefully I might get it for Christmas :D
    Speaking of the holidays though, I think my favourite part is all of the decorations!

  7. That's not "cheesy" at all, in fact I think it's the epitome of sweetness. I'm constantly drawn to garments that relate to mine or my husband's life in some regard, too - especially when they're vintage or repro. You've truly struck an awesome style note (pardon the music pun) with this thoroughly beautiful dress, dear gal!

  13. Yes yes yes! I saw the music notes when you initially posted a snap of this dress and I was hoping to see what the whole thing looked like... I think they're great! If I ended up being a school teacher, I feel like I would develop a Ms. Frizzle-esque collection of topically appropriate novelty prints to wear when I taught.

  16. You have blue suede shoes!! I didn't see your shoes the other night. Wow, I love them. It was so nice to finally meet you the other night. I'm looking forward to our next get together!

    To answer your question, my favorite thing about the holidays is having more excuses to craft. Sad, perhaps, but true!

  19. I think it looks stunning on you!

    I am very excited about Christmas and New Year. I'm especially looking forward to spending time with my beloved ones: my relatives, my significant other, as we don't get to do a lot together because of our studies and busy shedules. Besides, I want to sew myself a dress and read a book that I don't have time for right now. Yeah, I'm really waiting for holidays!

  25. I've been lusting over all of the trashy diva dresses for such a long time, this one was top of my list as well as the similar style with heart shaped patches/pockets! unfortunately they are so expensive over here *sigh* you look simply lovely in this one though! xx
