Sweet and Salty.

Well, 9 months after I purchased the dress from the EA Trade Market, it's finally a nice enough day here in Boston to wear it! At one point, it was 80ยบ. Craziness! I had the dress tailored to be a petite length and I had the straps shortened.

Dress: Anthropologie: Salty Seas Dress, Cardi: Limited (old), Wedges: Joe Campbell
Plus, it is the first time all year I haven't had to wear tights! This dress makes me so happy! How can you not love it, it's got friggin' lobsters all over it!

Last night was my dress rehearsal for my little concert tonight and I must say that my lutenist and I are sounding awesome! Singing such gorgeous music doesn't hurt it either :) For those of you who have never heard a John Dowland song, do yourself a favor and click on the video:



And...of course...this song is totally on my program tonight. This is my first time doing a program with lute and I am TOTALLY in LOVE with it. It's sooooooooooooooo intimate and the lute is so gorgeous. I'm very excited about tonight! PLUS, I'm even more excited about wearing the gorgeous Tracy Reese dress during it! It's the perfect length now and the color is OUTRAGEOUS!

Are there enough all-capital words in this post for you? I'm not excited or anything.

Edit: Not a diva, by any means, but a preview from last night's rehearsal for those who care to listen:

    Katrina, thank you! I get asked that a lot...it's actually a small-ish voice, but as long as it's got ping in the sound, it can be heard in the back row! Still working on having that ping throughout the entire range...but that's shop talk. Thank you, seriously.

    Midory, yes...it is me and my fabulous lutenist. He's the best! Thank you for your sweet words :)

    thatdamngreendress - Thank you so much! I am right now, pretty infatuated with John Dowland songs. I mean...SO BEAUTIFUL!
