Some little birds have been telling me that they need more to read here...or an update or something.

Y'all who know me know I'm not a strapless dress kinda gal. Nor am I truly a maxi dress convert. I think they look great on other people. But I'm clumsy. I trip over the hems walking up stairs. And Seattle rains often enough that I worry about tripping around with soggy hems.
But here I am. I couldn't resist these large tropical print flowers.
To keep myself from constantly tugging up the top, I added some loops to the inside and threw on some removable bra straps. I then threw a blazer on to hide the straps. A belt reigned in the 'pregnancy' look. And a bright red pop of a necklace added some extra visual pop! I even managed to keep from tripping...too much. :P

So ok birdies, how were those crumbs :)?
Ev's parents and my fam are in town for my departmental hooding ceremony (for doctoral students). I get to wear large purple robes and a funny looking puffy purple hat. Perhaps a photo of the outfit will make the blog. I'm all about embarrassing silly photos. Why not one with a puffy hat?
Till next time birdies!

Hi Lori! Congrats on the hooding ceremony! I love that maxi dress on you, the print is gorgeous :)
Congratulations on the doctorate! I love the maxi on you. I recently tried the trend too. And I know what you mean about strapless dresses, they never work out for me. Adding the removable bra straps were genius, I definitely should give it a try.
It looks great and aren't they sooo comfortable?! The belt is a great addition!
Congrats! Do we call you Dr. Lori now? :)
GORGEOUS!!! This makes me want to try a maxi dress at work now. You really look incredible!
You should totally take a picture in your purple garb. And yes, can we call you Dr. Lori now? :)
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
This dress looks great on you! Can't wait to see your puffy hat:) Congrats!
Congrats on finishing up your doctorate. So, so exciting! Teehee --- yes, purple hat pictures, please!
And I love your maxi dress. It looks great on you! I am just building up my collection of maxis and am on the hunt for more. The print on yours is gorgeous -- too bad it was thrifted so I can't buy it for myself!
