I'm actually back home in Reno for the holidays, but we snapped these right before I left town on one of those funny California winter days, where all you need is a leather jacket to throw over your shoulders. But really, let's talk about this dress, shall we? It all started with this gal (per usual), which then lead to a wild internet goose chase to track it down on sale somewhere, anywhere -- I was desperate! Eventually, I gave up hope (it is a leather, tattoo-print dress after all, they don't come around often), until it finally popped on sale and before I could say, "Take that TTH" -- it was in my life! A few alterations later, and we're getting along just splendidly. Might even be a contender for a few holiday parties I have coming up. After all, you all know I love a good midi dress, especially a full-skirted one...

Hope you're all enjoying a relaxing day with your family and as always, thank you for reading!
