Nicole: Two weeks ago I arrived in Boise for my first visit since I moved to New York.   I wrapped myself in a bow and presented myself as a gift to Boise.

I got this amazing vintage dress at the Idaho Youth Ranch ages ago, and have been dying for the right occasion to wear it.  It is made out of 100% Acetate.  If I stand too close to a candle in this dress, it will likely melt into my flesh.  Kelly did a handy bit of tailoring in the arm holes to make it fit like a glove.

Two days ago I celebrated the six-monthiversary of my moving to New York.  It’s been an incredible experience so far, even if it has the draw-back of boo loss.  This loss affects not only us, but the general public, who do  not get to experience the awesomeness of our powers combined.  Like how we coordinate our outfits.

For Story Story Night, we kept a very neutral color palate and long hem-lines.  Kelly is wearing a brown silk skirt as a dress, layerd over a tiered-silk skirt and made into a dress with a woven leather belt. When in doubt, wear silk and leather.

We both add a little bit of drama with our neckwear.  Me with a tulle scarf tied into a floppy bow, Kelly with a borrowed (and totally rad) Armour Bijoux breast-plate.

Who wouldn’t want to be our friend?

My boring Target booties are classed up a notch with vintage shoe bows, part of my birthday package from Kelly. She’s also gave me the lovely jade ring I’m wearing and letting me borrow her vintage beaded clutch. Our outfits are always better with the combined force of both our wardrobes.

The  pretty embroidery helps make this dress special.  Add it to the dramatic length and high-neckline, this demure number is better than your average little black dress.

My bows match!  Details, details, details…

Story Story and local food and cheap drinks and old friends and dancing boos made my Boise trip a blast.  But New York is buzzing, and I’m glad to be back.

 Dip!
