My last outfit-post featured a dress done up girly. That was the only approach that occurred to me. In the comments, however, Lynne and others suggested taking a different direction -- using the dress to create a badass outfit. With leather jacket, boots, etc.
The idea intrigued me, so I asked my parole officer Elaine what she thought. Elaine encouraged me to explore this attitude. She reminded me that, during my stretch in The Big House, I was quite butch.
Here's a life-lesson -- when making a withdrawal from a bank, use their authorized withdrawal form and not a handwritten note...
P.S., I don't smoke cigarettes and used them solely as a prop. I do, however, drink beer and wear leather jackets!
LOL I love this post!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I was thinking of you when I made it. I asked the question: What Would Jodi Do?
DeleteWoowoo! Wowza! I think the idea was spot on. You look fabulous. Still feminine, but totally badass. A lady who kicks butt and takes names.
ReplyDeleteI picture you singing something from Grease as Rizzo. I ADORE this awesome amalgamation of your interests- chic style, a little bit of badass, a feminine take on the motorcycle jacket. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou are kickass in leather, boots and fishnets, Ally!
ReplyDeleteYou look bad to the bone and those boots are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI like this approach! The other end of the continuum, which makes the dress look totally different.
ReplyDeleteLoving it! Can I come and hang out with you now, Ms Bad Ass? x
ReplyDeleteI love it! You look so tough.
ReplyDeleteGreat Pics!!!

YES! Love this! The fishnets rock! And I want a badass leather jacket in the worst way! And you know I love beer, so I love that you are holding a bottle of beer. This post made my day, you're a rockstar Ally!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you, Beth, when I decided to add beer to the post.
DeleteDa-YUM, Gurl, you look HOT. And like a Good Time :) Love this take on the bandage dress. The jacket gives you va-va-voom curves, and the black fishnets and high heel boots make your long legs look even longer.
ReplyDeleteI should have added the first time you posted this outfit, that I'd like to see this dress styled with other kinds of accessories, too, because it is versatile. I can see it with a cool peplum jacket or shooties or long chains. I wasn't trying to shove you in a Badass box :) But I knew from your past motorcycle pics that you'd rock it. Now we just need your Pin-Up pic, modeling this dress with your bike!
You badass babe ... love it.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT's what I'm talkin' about!!! Why be shy? Let it rip :-) !!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS OUTFIT. Daaayyyuuuum, girl -- Work it out.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I need to steal this jacket. Me + Leather = Lurrrrveeee.

Haha these photos are great! I love those tights.
ReplyDeleteI was smiling so big when I first saw what this post was. Then I was laughing reading about your parole officer. Then I was all "Oooooga Oooooga...Var-r-r-roooooooom!!! That's hot!" You are rockin' that bad girl.
ReplyDeleteLove the lipstick stained cigarette in the ashtray prop.
bad ass is right! loving the fish nets.
ReplyDeleteXo Megan
Oh isn'r Lynne the best!
ReplyDeletei adore your sense of humor my dear!
Love the ensemble! Geez I wish I had legs like yours, they are pretty amazing and fishnets kick it. I think you would take bad ass to a whole new level if you took these pics by your bike.
ReplyDelete:) you definitely look badass (and amazing!) and I love the way you restyled this sweet dress! Also, those sunglasses look great on you.
ReplyDeletebravo! I adore this look, lady! very-very Hot!
ReplyDeleteLove the white scarf. I like it both ways. The dress itself is kinda Herve Leger meets VPL. See? Country girl DOES know her designers. Great find.
ReplyDeleteAre those, GASP, pink cigarettes? At first I thought you were smoking cake candles...
Oh I love it!! I like the dark eye-makeup too! lol, I never think to use props for my photos, I should do that!
ReplyDeletei love the leather jacket and those tights are so great! great look!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOOVE IT!!! The beer, cig, and the jacket totally MAKE this outfit!
