Last weekend bow ties, petticoats, hats, and pearls were commonplace at Disneyland, as it was Dapper Day, the twice annual event where you’re encouraged to get gussied up and visit Walt Disney’s original Magic Kingdom. Things have been a bit hectic lately, as we’ve had some construction at our home (that brown accordion wall is…

Fall Dapper Day came right on the heels of Halloween this year, but for the most part we played it pretty chill, spending most of the day roaming, taking photos and eating food.

First, I am terribly sick. I honestly sound like a chain smoker. Second, Patrick’s mother and sister are visiting in less than two weeks, and there is much to do! So I’m honestly not sure how much blogging is going to be done in the next couple weeks. I apologize in advance! However, I am…

Last Spring Dapper Day I wore a floral square dancing dress, which I absolutely adored. I had planned to do the same this year, but then I got to thinking about my many neglected Gunne Sax dresses, which I made a New Year’s resolution to wear more of this year. For some reason this dress…
