Sometimes on the days my daughter has gymnastics I take my photo equipment with me and snap my shots at a local park, which is where these pictures were taken. This location is actually a big turnaround area that dead ends at the top of an amphitheater that’s in the park. In the past people would park here for events and whatnot, and as far as I have ever known it’s a public area. In any case, the point of my story is while I was wrapping things up and putting my equipment back in the car, a police officer slowly cruises in. I didn’t pay him much attention and got in the car and started reviewing the shots on my camera. So he backs up and parks against the guard rail and just sits there. Staring at me. Now I realize the moto jacket might have given him the impression I’m a thug, but seriously? I’m a chick in a plaid lacy dress with a camera and a tripod. What type of havoc could I possibly be wreaking? Maybe someone in one of the houses down the road mistook my camera tripod for a sniper rifle tripod and thought they should call in the heat. I mean really, what better disguise is there for a sniper than a lace trimmed dress. Since he was giving me the heebee jeebees I scooted on out of there.
How fierce is this dress my friends? I discovered it at Target on clearance and snapped it up for under $13. Yep, that’s right, under $13. I paired it with my fleece leggings, over the knee boots, a turtleneck and the moto jacket because damn, it’s cold outside. I figure all of the snow probably gave that away though. When it was all said and done I thought it kind of gave off a slightly girly 80’s punk vibe which made me happy.
