As The Wind Beckons
______The picture-taking process started out pretty normal. As mother dearest and I snapped pictures, there was a slight breeze, one that tousled my hair here and there, as it normally would, and made a few ripples in the fabric of my dress, and maybe even loosened a few stray hairs from my ponytail. Nothing too severe was going on. Nothing too awful. Nothing that would cause alarm.
______But then, without warning, a monstrous wind came from nowhere and furiously swept itself through the area, twisting and dancing through leaves and clothes and hair. The people of my valley were astonished by this dasterdly wind and took cover. But no, not I. I would not wimp out and take cover like those peasants. I would not succumb to the fear created by the wind. I was a man, a real manly man. A real manly man who liked monster trucks and football and bench-pressing girls in swimsuits.
______And so, being the manly man I was, I embraced it. I embraced the fear.
______And then magic happened.
______....And here's an especially magical one.
______Also, I'm pleased as a peach to announce that the winner of the $80 Msdressy voucher was Heather. Congrats, lovely lady!

Wind can be a girl's best friend! Especially with a dress as flowy and wonderful as this one! The color is pretty magical on you dear. Glad to hear you've embraced your manlines...bahaha. That made me laugh a lot :)

glad you embraced natures own wind machine and got some stellar photos! always good when it works for and not against you (as it so often does!)
ReplyDeleteYou are so so cute! These photos make me want to run outside and do a wind dance (except not really because it is cold but I will imagine that's what I'm doing). And the colour of that dress is so stunning.

Oh my gosh! The wind really worked for you - I always end up tearing up and looking super red eyed and sad because of wind, but you look amazing! And that pink dress is so cute on you - but those little earrings steal the show for me. Love it!
