....if it ain't got that swing!
After quite a few months of not attending our friend Chuck Chaz's swing dances, we decided to make a night of it and thus get gussied up.
When it comes to swing dances, I like to wear fuller skirted dresses and this Living Dead Souls number was just what the doctor ordered. The dress is black with a red floral pattern, ruching at the waist and a sweetheart neckline (gave me good cleavage, teehee!), it's very comfortable and was given to me by my friend Julie Ann. Yay! It was chilly on Sunday evening, so I paired the dress with a thrifted cotton shrug and black fishnets. I completed the look with black button earrings, black beaded bracelets, a filigree black bat necklace, and black suede 40s style shoes.
I love back seam stockings
We can never take a "normal" picture.
The dance was fun, though we didn't dance as we're both terribly rusty and really need to take some lessons. Next time I'll be twirling around the dance floor with Mr. Derek. *Wink* If you've never tried swing dancing, I recommend giving it a try with a partner as it's really a fun time and great exercise!
Thank you for reading!

DeleteI'd love to go swing dancing! I went salsa dancing a couple of weeks ago, and I had a great time. A lot of places offer lessons before the dancing actually starts, so that's what I did.
