So, quickly:
here's my dress from the 2010 American Crossword Puzzle Tournament. I broke 500 for the first time!
Thanks to Jan for taking the picture (on my cell phone).
Also: this is one of those BurdaStyle Heidi dresses. I'll post a better picture of it later in the week.
Also: the fabric is from Spoonflower. I'll make it available this week too.
Also: yes, those are hot pink patent penny loafers.
Also: that's it.

I really admire your style. Most people are completely incapable of pulling off the slightly funky or quirky things you often work into your wardrobe, but you always look fantastic. I especially love this outfit on you 🙂

Congrats on breaking 500! I think I only glimpsed you passing by once during the weekend, didnt get to say hi, and didnt get to see the dress in person, so Im glad theres a picture. (Im also glad your outfit did not involve penguins.)Im just noting that the numbering of the squares on the fabric is somewhat odd 🙂
