Phew, it's humid out! I didn't let that put a damper on my trip to stock up on some rum and other goodies for the Tiki bar. I was feeling the 'aloha spirit', so I decked myself out in this black vintage 1970s hand painted dress.
I fell in-love with the dress because...well, it's black. I nabbed it months ago from an etsy seller and I'm so happy I did! The over-size ruffles at the bust makes the dress really fun to wear, but I'm thinking a little nip/tuck might be in order as the straps kept falling down or shifting to reveal my bra straps. I hate strapless bras and avoid them when I can!
I'm hanging out in another little corner of our Tiki room/dining room for a variety in the back drop. I wish our living room had better natural light for photos, but sometimes you just have to make due! *Wink*
What's that black orb?!
It's a vintage swag lamp. Derek and I have a lamp issue, as in we love them a little too much. Hehe!
Ohhh, I think it's time to sample some of that rum I bought.....
Thank you for reading!
