Carolyn Braden: Party Dress by Urban Outfitters

I love tutus. I love overalls. When I saw this dress by Urban Outfitters, I about passed out. 

This dress combines both of my loves and makes them fashionable enough and grown up enough to wear to a Christmas party. It's part of their Urban Renewal collection. I love the idea of taking an old piece of clothing and making it new again. I do it myself sometimes. I bought the dress in a size small and it does run a little big. Overalls fit that way though. I plan to wear it with sparkle fishnets, my fun Christmas sweatshirt and probably my Ugg motorcycle boots. I will be comfortable and stylish....a perfect combination. 

Carolyn Braden: My 2013 Christmas Sweatshirt

A Christmas sweatshirt?
Why yes! Instead of an ugly Christmas sweater, I chose a kitschy sweatshirt. The quote: "Merry Christmas ya filthy animal." It's from Angels with Dirty Faces and, of course, featured in Home Alone.

Carolyn Braden's Halloween Costumes: Kurt, Courtney and More!

I had a Halloween party last weekend and my wonderful friends certainly appeased my costume dress code. I really was unsure if anyone would actually dress up but they all did and looked great. My husband, Tommy, and I decided on Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. We hit up thrift stores for our outfits. I think we did pretty good in matching the picture below of the couple. Tommy played the part well, taking on a very grungy personality to match the grunge style.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Carolyn Braden's Rocker Style

I had a "Zoolander Zombie" party last night. Guests were asked to come as a fashion victim. I think I pulled it off. I was inspired by LMFAO's look in "Party Rock Anthem."

Carolyn Braden: Loving Photo Shoots

My photography friends Michael Sturgeon and Joe Dubberly came to my house the other day. We were testing the white background and lighting for a photo booth-style photo shoot I'm having at my Zoolander Zombie party this weekend. Even though we were experimenting, we got some great shots!
