Hi Ladies!
Again welcome new followers and thanks again for all your comments!
i love to know what you have to say!
***
The heat has hit the pavement in Montreal !
Time to get the pretty summery stuff out the closet!
This dress that Mr. D hates was an item i swap at the Swap Event back in April, I think
The reason why Mr. D hates the dress - He says it looks like a tablecloth pattern
Men hate tablecloth patterns - I have heard this comment many times - What about you?
I think i look like the Female Version of a Barber Shop's Singers Trio
Is it a bad or a good thing?
I think it is a very cute dress - I wore an H&M belt that i purchased for $2
What else do men dislike ...
Leggings - Men don't understand why we wear cut off tights
Harem Pants - Not shapely at all
Leggings and tank top - You look sloppy
Creepers - not sexy
What about your males? - What do they dislike?
These white sandals were a gift from Izzy
They were dead stock
Wearing them for a photo shoot was fine
Going to work with them hummmmm....
As i was getting to work they started to fall apart
I had one of the technician at work fix them
He used a special glue that dries in an oven
This is were the sandals went - in the oven
They are glued for ever now!
You take a chance sometimes when you purchased vintage items -
Great News!
Mr. D. and I are going to Las Vegas in July - We will stay at Le Paris
Never been - I am very excited -
Any good vintage shops in Vegas?
Any good vintage shops in Vegas?

I got the hat a few years ago - One of my favorite hats
I hope you enjoyed this post
I will be back soon

I think this was one of your best outfits, you look so beautiful...I love it!
I think the dress is actually a lot of fun. Guys don't know what they're talking about :)
No matter what they say - that dress is gorgeous :)
Personally, I love stripes, so I really like the dress, but it is a traffic stopper! Men don't seem to like clothing that is bright and bold unless it's also overtly sexy. It's awesome that you are going to Vegas - I have been once, and I didn't think I would like it, but I had a great time. I went on a backstage showgirl tour at the Bally, Indoor skydiving, and drove out to the desert. There are amazing restaurants located not far from the strip. You'll have a great time!
Now, Ariane - you and Mr D aren't planning a sneaky WEDDING in Vegas, are you??! Wouldn't that be great!
Well, I have to disagree with your man, I like the dress. More like a deck chair than a tablecloth, but that's a good thing! It's really cute, you look lovely in it, especially with the straw hat.
My OH has no say in what I wear (not even sure he notices actually...) and he knows better than to say anything negative! It wouldn't make any difference anyway, I know my own mind!
Enjoy your warm weather - been raining here today! xxxxx
I like the dress and the sandals.
I had a similar episode with a pair of brogues I hadn't worn in years. The rubber dried it seems, and as soon as I got to work started crumbling. I was left with one sole-less shoe at the end of the day and was obviously the laughing stock of the department LOL. I was leaving a trail of black bits of rubber- can you see the photo below?

They were, needless to say, ruined for ever.
That is a very cool look.
And men.... oh well....

Striped dress is fabulous!
You look terrific, very sunny and happy too. My husband does not like many of the "clunky" shoes that I adore, but he does not complain. He also does not like very dark nail polishes, but again, he loves me and supports all my style adventures : > Love your "new" sandals!
The hat is just perfect with the dress. My husband LOVES leggings and bought me the only pair I own. He also likes tube tops...something I dislike. In general, he says very little about the increasingly creative looks I come up with.
You're right. This is a very cute dress. The hat just makes it even cuter. :-)

Cute dress I think the color looks great on you!! Oh Vegas that sounds like fun I have never been my husband has and loved it!! ~Have a great weekend Love Heather
This makes me laugh...I've heard men refer to fabric as tablecloths too. Must be a universal reference, or just an easy way to sum up the words men can't find to express any fashion sense. ;)
My hubby is pretty open to different things but he will blink his eyes weirdly if he wants to say something but doesn't want to be rude. Then I know I've gone too far with an outfit. ;)
I love the dress with the hat. It's very fresh and would be the perfect look for a concert in the park, etc...
Have a good weekend!
the dress is beautiful i like it. and i always have at home an instant glue for problems like yours with the sandals ;)

What a pretty dress, the bold stripes and sassy colour are just perfect with the delicate boater.
Jon would never dream of criticising my clothes. Mind you he used to have blue hair and wear tartan bondage trousers so there's nothing I could wear to outdo that, really!
Have fun in Vegas. What a shame you couldn't have met Helga and G, that would have been a blast! xxxxx
Magnificent, and straight to my pin board, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My husband wouldn't like this dress, but knows that I would most definitely wear it & he wouldn't say anything about it, haha!! I think it's marvelous, I love stripes!! I think there are a lot of things women wear that are actually terrible looking on them and sloppy. Clothes that are too big because the girl thinks she is bigger than she is. Sweat pants or sweat shirts. I don't like creepers, I think I look weird in them. I left harem pants back in the 80's where they belong. Haha. But, somethings men say they don't like are only said because they would like us to wear what they want us to wear. Their opinion shouldn't go above our own or have us wear something we aren't ourselves in!! :) Have a wonderful weekend!! xx
Great news about your holiday, I bet it will be great fun! :)
I have a few tablecloth pattern dresses and I love them. :) Your is great too!
My boyfriend only has problems with too serious clothes! He likes hippy and very laid back clothes - I think he would be happiest if I wore flare jeans with a colourful top all the time. :D
My man is too polite (or afraid) to say what he REALLY thinks! Even if insist that he give an honest opinion, he won't say anything. He once looked askance at a pair or orange plaid pants I was wearing, but other than that, he always just says I look "nice".
I will have to test him by asking his opion on what other women are wearing...
It doesn't look like tablecloth at all!!! It's actually a very nice summer dress!!!
My husbant dislikes many kinds of female clothes... especially he hates a leggins, military boots and the entire military style, glitter and sparkle tops and dresses... he is very ordinary man in the terms of women clothins and style: he likes simple feminine dresses, pencil skirts, skinny jeans, stilleto heels and red lipstick... like all the men around our planet...
Brilliant. Following you there too.

I love the stripes and the hat looks great with your total look. Looking forward to all of your 'summery stuff' and your Las Vegas outfits. My husband enjoyed and appreciated all of my outfits, which was one of his gifts to me.
