lavender gingham for you, Dolly
I feel so lucky that I got the chance to see Dolly Parton perform. She looks remarkable, sounds remarkable, and is just the sweetest, funniest, most down-to-Earth legend alive. She told stories about her humble upbringing, made jokes about her "trashy" appearance, played about 8 instruments, and even rapped (which was god-awful, but she knew it and was just wanting to make everybody laugh). I wore a lavender gingham dress (tucked in so as to look like a skirt) and a 50s sheer pink top. Pete was sweet enough to match me by wearing a lavender cowboy shirt. If I had my way, we'd match every day & we'd ride around town on a tandem bike. I am half-kidding. You can see my lavender dress in its entirety here.
I hope that life is treating you well. much love. - crystal lee
Outfit: vintage gingham dress (thrifted a long time ago), 50s sheer top (Etsy), bass oxfords (thrifted)

awww matching!! My man would LOVE to match all the time - so I tell him to learn to sew his own shirts and we'll do it.
ReplyDeleteI love this photos - you are perfect doll for Dolly!
I'm jealous!! I'd love to see dear Dolly live sometime! It's really something how beautiful her voice has stayed after all these years. And I bet her stage banter's the most fun ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd you look ever so lovely; gingham was just perfect for such an occasion!
Gorgeous dress/skirt and the top is heavenly. I'm jealous as well that you got to see Miss Dolly. Hah I wish my man would wear co-ordinating outfits, we dress so differently though do not think that will happen! x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous outfit and beautiful shots too!
ReplyDeleteThe husband and I seem to match by accident quite a lot. Especially when he had blue hair :)
These are gorgeous pictures! I'm loving your outfit :)
ReplyDeleteRebeccak, I find it particularly amusing that your man would love to match your outfits. Pete doesn't like to draw attention to himself & matching outfits tends to do just that. Good thing, he is such a wallflower cause I don't know if there's light enough for the both of us. hee-hee.
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone gets the opportunity to see Dolly perform! Thanks for the nice words gals.
