And I totally agree about figuring yourself out as you get older - I wouldn't have guessed it as a teenager, but it took me until I was in my late 20s to really start feeling comfortable with who I am (and I'm still figuring at 31!).

Then I realized it was full length and it was even better! Nicely done. If it wasn't a tad cooler up here in NorCal, I'd make an attempt at stealing this one out of your wardrobe. But I'll just admire it here on your blog.<br /><br />I totally, totally agree with you about the beauty of getting older. I have a couple friends who are beyond the 30 landmark, and that's the single thing they've all said about passing 30 - that they're glad to leave behind the angst and uncertainty of their 20s and to settle into their own skin. I've decided we're all cooler people if we let ourselves be who we naturally are, instead of trying to fit into certain societally-prescribed boxes. That quote says it all!jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891339427334605978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-80233397468336377552012-12-07T13:05:04.191-08:002012-12-07T13:05:04.191-08:00Haha!

This dress is a fantastic canvas for that print, and looks really wearable - which is hard to do with a print that big! Simplicity was definitely the way to go, here.<br /><br />I'm very much with you on the bit about clothes that make you feel like you're playing dress up even when you're not. More of life should be like this! You may inspire me to make/wear more long skirts...or bustled victorian jackets for daily wear. That's practical, right? Maybe if I added pockets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-75637123515245817652012-12-06T18:03:29.909-08:002012-12-06T18:03:29.909-08:00LOVE THIS!!

Mod geometric prints are always some of my favorites.<br /><br />Can't say that the Sesame Street video stuck with me like it did with you and your sister, but it is vaguely familiar. I guess I was lucky I was so logical as a teenager because I learned pretty fast not to care what all my classmates thought (it helped that I had a couple really great friends to commiserate with me though). I was the kid who wore a Star Trek communicator pin one day and a Rebel Alliance pin the next (my biology teacher loved it and would always talk to me about the most recent Trek episode). That's a great geek quote - I agree that "being a geek is extremely liberating." =)Brookehttp://customstyle.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-53693260769682173792012-12-06T07:23:57.224-08:002012-12-06T07:23:57.224-08:00I love this dress!
