Saturday Night Replay for Day #OOTD

So good I had to wear it again.

A Date With the Bangles

Our good friend Derrick Anderson [WARNING this link has sound] plays bass with The Bangles. They headlined a free show in Pershing Square, in downtown LA on Saturday night. Time for another date night out on the town!

Derrick put us on "the list" so we were able to sit in VIP chairs.
We sat in the second row!

Derrick, the man Bangle, or, Mangle

Debbi, Vicki, Susanna, and part of Derrick

They are awed by my brilliance!

We then all went over to see Derrick's room that he was given at the Biltmore.

Patria styled an impromptu photo session with Derrick and his bass

The next album cover?

Thanks, Derrick, for a fun, fun night!

My outfit, one more time:

Neon yellow, red, and paisley -- can't get more Visible than this!

Inside the Box: Too Too Much Muumuu

Larry and I made jokes about this one when we pulled it out of the bag: what IS it? A muumuu/tablecloth?

It's a home sewn marvel.

In its own way, it DOES look better on.
The lace on the sides is set into the seams so it sticks out.

It measures 53 x 34" Roomy!
I like the peasant blouse styling of the lace inset + gathers in the front and back:

The lace sleeve hem detail is clever yet strange (the running down the side seams aspect).

But there IS the problem overall --  it's made with horrible 70s two-way stretch nylon. It doesn't breathe. So it gets VERY WARM. Not so good for summer wear. (Winter muumuu for the ski lodge, anyone? Layer it over your long johns!) In addition, if you wore this while BBQing, it might melt. That would be unfortunate. And painful.

I know you're needing this in your wardrobe now. Hahahahaha. Not.
