Cherry bomb


Yikes. How early did I get up to take these photos? Too bloody early for someone on holidays.


Hence the protective face furniture.


I've wanted a cherry dress for a long time, but finding quality fabric has been a problem. (see what a hard life I have? Waaah...I can only find CHEAP cherry fabric... darn it all to heck).


Poor old Doris is looking a bit worse for wear; all these photo shoots really take it out of a gal.


The only thing I'd like to change about this dress is the low cut at the sides, resulting in rather more bra-displayage than I'd like. So I saved my modesty with a little cardi at a pre-Christmas picnic this weekend.



And yes, that IS pink in my hair. I'm getting a bit bored with my hair; it hasn't changed in a while so I'm testing some options before I do anything drastic.


Pink hair, Very Cherry lips, and cherry gingham shoes... you'd think I was a girl or something...


Ah, the delirium of an early morning...


Pattern: Vogue 8766 
(View C with modified neckline and straps)
Shoes: Modcloth
Dress fabric: Spotlight
