GIRL IN THE PLASTIC BUBBLE

Our construction site was wrapped in plastic for a few days. It's strange going from room to room wrapped in a plastic bubble.  Perhaps this is how Glinda the Good Witch of the North felt?  Of course, her bubble offered a clear view of the world.

*Note to Harry Potter fans:  Before J.K. Rowling, the Wizard of Oz dictated our perception of witches ;-)






Good thing the crew left us some "port holes" to see the outside world with.  Yes, I can be like Glinda!




Of course, Glinda wouldn't be caught dead with her fairy dress on backwards.  Mine is.  Old ballerina trick.  We spend our time with cover-ups backwards and forwards.  Perhaps because we value flexibility above all?  Ha ha, just sneaking a pun in ;-)









I live in these draped-front t-shirt dresses all summer.  Somehow, they all end up on me the wrong way around.  I guess I'm just not a deep decolletage kind of girl.  Unlike Glinda.

Glinda the Good Witch of the North
from "The Wizard of Oz"


Do any of you put your clothes on backwards or inside out?

    Sometimes I can't tell it a shirt is inside out especially when it has the stitch, you know that it-looks-like-it's-inside-out-when-it's-really right-side-out stitch.
    Confusing!

    @Mariel, today I really should have been in construction boots. Nails and wood splinters were all over :-)
    @S&O, I know exactly what you mean about the "stitch". I even have items that are intentionally de-constructed, with unraveled edges at the seams!

    Great shoot - the construction site gives everything an almost ethereal quality! Love the dress on you. I have one I wear back to front as well (not a huge fun of a deep cleavage either).

    I've actually rocked a backwards shirt from H&M once! It was a little too low cut in the front for my taste, so flipped around it went! This dress looks awesome - and what a cool backdrop for photos! :)

    I think I tell the same thing each time but I am really amazed by your inner style and elegance. maybe it is due to your practice of ballet but you're just sublime! :)
