Weekend of Drew Dressing Me, Blog Challenge: Day 1

Drew, surveying his handiwork

My dear friend Elaine recently had a wicked cool idea:  we would each let ourselves be dressed by someone who knows us well and is familiar with our wardrobes (in her case, her daughter, in my case, my partner Drew), for a set amount of time to see what they come up with given free range over our outfits.  We chose three days because this is a long weekend and it's frankly just not that much fun for me to have a challenge like this on workdays, the choices being fairly limited.  So this is day one, and here's what Drew has chosen for me (note that there are many photos, because he's got about 6 outfits for three days).

Day 1 - 50's feminine chic meets sweltering hot BBQ weather

Outfit #1 is made up of some of my favourite things that Drew immediately hit upon.  The hat is a new addition and was recently run over by a car.  I almost love it more for that.

On me: Skirt by Mokkafiveoclock on Etsy, shirt by American Apparel,
hat by Helene Berman, sunglasses by Ralph Lauren

Cassette tape earrings

Garnet ring, which is a family heirloom, and black bracelet from
my friend's boutique in Fenelon Falls

Outfit #2 is wonderful for hot weather, and it is stifling in Montreal.  The earrings Drew added are special to me too, as they were my Christmas present from him this year.

Dress: Pink Martini, white cotton jacket (no photo yet): Kanvas,
earrings: a Montreal artisan, flower petals dipped in resin to preserve them

Bracelet from my friend's store in Fenelon, bicep by me

Drew loves my fancy shmancy shoes, but for him comfort is always top-of-mind, as well as bikeability.  With the first outfit he chose black flats, and for the second, brown sandals.  They will be repeated, so photos will follow.  Day 1 has been a great success so far!
