Indecent exposure (well, sort of)

Back in February I stumbled upon an adorable blog called Dolls Are United, run by a sweet girl named Amy, along with every-now-and-then posts from her "Resident Bloggers". Immediately, I found myself attracted to the blog and naturally started clicking around, when I saw that Amy is a fashion designer who has a line called Mod Dolly. Needless to say, I purchased two lovely dresses from Mod Dolly as soon as I got paid, and I'd been eagerly waiting to don the dresses -without having to winterize them too much- ever since. Today was hot, but breezy, so I went with the striped one first, only adding tights and my own belt (it came with a black one). 
How gnarly is this brass knuckle skull clutch?! It's like the Alexander McQueen one, but affordable.
And of course, a blooper:
Dress: Mod Dolly//Tights: ModCloth//Shoes: Lulu's//Clutch: gifted from my s-i-l

This is definitely not the dress for a windy day. You can see that it's not terribly short, it just flares up easily since it's a lightweight summer dress. Anywho, I had a Marilyn Monroe moment this afternoon...well, it wasn't even a Marilyn moment since my dress actually came above my goodies as I walked to my car at Best Buy. I froze, laughed, and sped out of there. These opaque tights were my saving grace. Nevertheless, I love this panty-flashing frock and can't wait to remix the crap out of it! 
Now, get into some shenanigans this weekend and enjoy yourselves.

Love,
Roni

  3. You look amazing miss! I love the colour of your tights with the dress, they go so well together! How embarrassing that the dress blew up though due to the wind! That sometimes happens to me, but worse still, often I find my tights falling down and one time I was clutching at them and they were around my ankles by the time I reached my front door, I died of the shame! xx

    1. Thanks, friend! Hahaha I remember you started to tell me that story of yours but you didn't go into detail. Now that you have, I must say I laughed out loud reading it. :) That's hilarious. Embarrassing, but hilarious nonetheless and I'm surprised that hasn't happened to me yet.

  7. Waaa I love brass knuckles :P so that is too cute. I have a dress I was wearing a few weeks ago that was SO not wind proof. I hate having a dress that I have to hold down constantly when I'm outside, but if I throw on some leggings underneath, than it's not so bad. My sister-in-law was taking some outfit post pictures with me a while back and all of the sudden, her dress flew ALL the way up. It was seriously one of the funniest things in the world. But embarrassing…for her. Not for me. For me it was just a great laugh. But it could have been me :P
