For the past six months I’ve been working on a little challenge I made up called Six Months + Six Dresses. Because I’m an unreformed jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, this summer I’ve been making a big effort to try and have more dresses in my closet and to try and get more comfortable with having more “fashion blogger” style pictures taken.

It’s weird, I’m fine with face pictures, but fully body pictures? Suddenly all I can think about is how I have no where to put my hands! And then I make awkward faces and it’s all over. I’m an enthusiastically bad model, and end up posing as a T-Rex most of the time someone goes to take my picture.

What? They’re fierce, isn’t that what you’re supposed to go for?

Dress number five is one of my favourites- a Dickie’s number I picked up at Target last year, the tiny stripes and ruffles just shouted state fair material to me and I felt perfectly at home among the Clydesdale’s and roasting corn.

This month I’ll be finishing the project with one final post! I’m not sure where that leaves my fashion blogging career, but I think that over the winter I’ll keep them up in a less formal way- maybe I’ll start showing my favourite cozy accessories.

I hope you’re enjoying the last days of summer!

Judging by the @ replies on twitter I’m the only one actually experiencing Fall weather right now, I’ll try to send some your way :)
