Come one, come all! I may be a lady, but let the freak show begin!
I went to my one and only circus show when I was ten years old. It was actually my dad who really wanted to attend, so he insisted on taking my sister and me. As much as I protested against going, I actually enjoyed the show – minus the smell of elephant poop.
While the circus I visited took place in an indoor arena, I am still enchanted by the whimsically striped circus tents from the olden days. The dizzying array of vertical and horizontal wide stripes on this dress is reminiscent of just that. The crisp blue and white can only be complemented by bold pops of cherry red in my belt and shoes. I kept all other accessories to a minimum except for a bracelet, a brooch, and a blue headscarf to match the blue stripes.
I know what you’re thinking and the answer is yes: beneath this tent is the greatest show on earth. That’s what he said.
Where’s a lion tamer when you need one?

I LOVE that dress! And I love how you styled it!!
Thank you thank you! Also doubles as a patriotic dress.
Well you certainly live up to your name! Totally chic!
Aw, thank you. I try, I try. ^_^
Great post! Have you read “The Night Circus”? Your post and outfit reminds me of this atmospheric book 🙂
Thank you! No, I have never read that book. I goggled it just now, and it sounds like a fantastic read! Now if only my dress had black and white stripes…
