Indigo Girl



I’m not sure today’s photos are really doing this dress justice.  They’re skewing a little cobalt when, in truth, this dress is a lovely, deep indigo:


Not that there is anything wrong with cobalt.  I love cobalt.  But this dress is not cobalt, it’s indigo.  I think these photos show it a little bit better: 



Hmmph.  Maybe not.

But this photo definitely shows me doing The Duck Face Robot, which is a dance I made up this morning:


Ducks and robots aside, my dress is indigo, not cobalt.  And it’s vintage and warm (wool/acrylic blend) and has pockets, so it’s basically awesome.  In addition to my awesome dress of awesome indigo-ness, I also wore a turtleneck (Gap), tights (Hue via Macys) over which I wore OTK socks (Nordstrom), and suede boots (Naughty Monkey via Nordstrom).  I also added a studded belt (JC Penney) and neon pink studs (Kate Spade New York via Nordstrom). 

Also, if you don’t know who the Indigo Girls are, we may need to have a talk.  At the very least you should watch this video (to which you could dance The Duck Face Robot if you wanted):


You're welcome.

Happy Wednesday, All!

  5. Cobalt, indigo, I don't mind which - it's a fabulous frock! And just LOOK what it does for your boobage! Most impressive, Gracey! And it sounds as though you would keep warm in this outfit too, so that's a bonus. I am wondering if I might need to reconsider sweater dresses... Food for thought.
    The video clip won't play on my IPad so I will have to check out which song you chose on the PC. Haven't listened to any Indigo Girls for ages. I'll have to reconsider that too!
    Love your dance face. You got the moves like Daffy. xxxxxx

  6. Love a dress with Pockets! And your duck face robot dance. I made up a song and dance yesterday, called who rocks the Chappati? To the tune of Who rocks the party by Flight of the Conchords.

  7. My introduction to the Indigo Girls came back in the late 80s, when I saw them opening for R.E.M., and oh god, did I just date myself or what?

    I take you at your word that it's indigo, and it looks great with the black.

  11. What a great color combo here
    The belt is perfect with the dress and the neckline of the dress is so flattering on you.

  14. Whatever color it is, it's really, really, really pretty! And the dress looks so chic with those boots and other accessories (in spite of the Duck Face Robot).

  18. I LOVE this color on you! It's so pretty! Though I have to say, since you wear this saturated color so well, I really think you could pull off emerald too - they're so close on the color wheel! But I'll stop preaching my love of green :)

    I hope you'll keep an eye out on my blog later today. I'll be featuring this as one of the looks I love today.
