robinsnest | Dress U Friday

Now that I'm home from Dress U and I've got a good night's sleep under my belt so I'm not totally exaughsted the post-event blues have set in. I miss all my fabulously dressed friends already! So I thought I'd help myself cope by starting my write ups.

I got to the hotel around one as I had offered to help out with any duties and I was assigned the check in desk. I wore a red and white polka-dot 40s look dress with my Great-Grandmother's hat. Sadly no pictures of that have surfaced. Except for an unfortunate computer malfunction we got everyone checked in with relative ease. No major hiccups.

After getting everyone checked in I met up with my amazing roommate

madamekat and got ourselves settled in. Sadly because it POURED the outdoor picnic was moved into the Historic Inn. Which was pretty but rather cramped. And as I showed up in a francaise gown I pretty much got stuck around the outside of the room and didn't get to say hello to everyone. But there were some gorgeous outfits, but as I didn't bring the good camera I pretty much didn't take any photos. So I have shamelessly stolen photos from others as proof that I was there and I dressed up...

Afterwards we got invited to a friend's room for a little after party. I was informed it had an absinth theme so I took the chance to wear my flapper gown that I rarely wear.

Please do admire my mountain dew as I wanted my own electric green beverage

We made it back to the room by midnight, I got to watch some hilarious antics from my rather tipsy roomie. Including accidentally losing her when I went out into the hall to call my husbutt.
