Okay, this is an odd fashion craving for me

White jackets and dresses. WTF? Why do I suddenly want white or creme colored frock coats or dresses?

There's this one, with a bustle-effect and a bow (clicky-link!), from the UK eBay seller Theatreoffashion. (Whom I have purchased things from before, and they're wonderful people. I just don't know if I love *that* particular blazer enough to pay over $100 for it.)

Or the Chemise a la Reve dress (clicky-link!), from Vivcore. (With the black sash, of course.) I'd wear it with black fence net tights, black ballet slippers or ankle boots, my hair pulled up, my b&w mini tricorn, and black lipstick.

Then there's always this frock coat-with-faux-waistcoat thing (clicky-link!), from Angel Secret. I have a waistcoat from them that I love.

Or the Ivory Carriage Coat from Clockwork Couture! (clicky-link!) Hmmm, that's one is kind of a serious contender, actually. I could replace the brass buttons with black ones ...

But seriously? White jackets or dresses? This is kind of new for me.

I was just about to say "because it's summertime and the weather is hot, silly!", but everyone else said it for me, albeit in more mannerly terms. :-) I'm actually sitting here in a white cotton embroidered nightgown that I got from Target several years back w/the idea of wearing it as a dress, but just never got around to it. It's high-waisted w/short puffed raglan sleeves which help make a rounded square (squarish-round?) neckline front & back, w/lace trim, a couple of teeny pearl buttons on the front, a long ribbon that ties, and a ruffle on the bottom. It's rather short for me (barely covers my knees when standing still, so there are white bike shorts under it to maintain some degree of decency. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable wearing it for my usual day-to-day activities, but I'm planning on attending a pool party later, and I don't think anyone there will be giving me too hard of a time about it. :-) Now if I could just figure out how to get it to cover the damn bra straps... *sigh*
