Thriftanista Style File: Black and white maxi dress

Look who stepped outside? And took a camera, a tripod, and a baby. I wore my dress from Dots yesterday and went posin'. I was a little bit scared of doing this and looking all weird to onlookers so I started out in the hallway.

It's a new location for me and it's way cleaner than my condo (or so it seems). V kept pulling at the tripod and my hand so that was a no go. She was ready to go "bye-bye".

I set the tripod up under a tree only to have the wind whip around me in all directions. My eyes look so small. <<< words I never thought I would say.

The wind takes a breather and V decided to take a break from running around in circles and picking up dirty rocks. She wanted to get in on the picture fun.

Thanks V! You make this shot interesting.

How about in front of the fountain? Meh. 

I could have stayed inside for this.

Taking pictures outside is harder than it looks. Style bloggers make it look so effortless. Oh wells. You can see the maxi dress. Do you like?  I love how the lines smooth out the lumpy bits. It's also figure flattering without showing everything. Nice arm coverage with the cap sleeves. I can breastfeed in it too  (yes, we're still at it.)  Oh, and it was $20. It's very long on me (short legs) so I will have to wear it with heels and therefore it won't work as a comfort cool piece for strolling around with V. I'll have to save it for a mama night out. Hopefully there's one of those coming soon.

Would you consider this a day or night time look?
