Lady

As I was walking down the street with my tripod and camera to take these photos, a little dachshund came running out into the street after me. She barked and growled at my feet and then ran into a neighboring yard.

The owner came running out after her, calling - but anyone who has a dog knows that when they are loose, the chase is exactly what they want and the defiant little dog just took off further down the street.

I didn't really think I could be of any assistance to the owner and the dog wasn't in any danger, so I just continued on my way.

Then I hear, "LADY! LADY! Stop walking! She's following you!" I think it's worth noting that the dog was several yards ahead of me at this point; but I stop anyway, wait for the owner to grab the pup, and continue on my way, as the owner loudly reports to her boyfriend that "The dog was just following that lady!"

That lady? Don't I feel special?

    That doggy knows good style when he/she see's it! Ha ha. :) Love that dress and your scallop edge blazer. I can't believe that dress comes from Avon.

    Will pay more attention to the catalogs now!

    I'm in awe of that scalloped hem blazer - what a perfect piece! You should insist that everyone call you "that Lady" from now on.

    What another awesome dress! I saw this in Avon. I love how you paired it with the blazer!

    At least the lady chasing after her dog didn't call you mam! I hate when people do that. It makes me feel so old!

    Oh goodness, haha. Funny doggy story. Well, I think being called a "lady" is a great compliment!! :)

    I saw the scallop detail on your blazer and I instantly fell in love. One of my favorite details in clothing right now.

    This is perfect. The pattern on the dress with the scalloped edges of the blazer. Perfect. And the lion belt (I wore an owl belt today myself) is the perfect quirky touch. I think this might be my favorite of yours.

    haha! that is so funny!! I got chased down by a dog just on Tuesday! And I felt retarded because as I was running away from it I ran into a tree!! True story. I felt retarded and I have bruises up and down my arms and legs now!! :(

    Anyway, you look super cute and very classy :)

    Oh no, I sympathize with anyone who's dog goes on random meandering fits. I have a shih tzu who is a perfect little gentlemen on walks, and at 12 yrs old we let him off leash most days because he's so goddamn slow. But every now and then he likes to run up to people's doors, especially if their open, and walk inside...

    Thank goodness no one has objected to his visits during his 12 years on the planet and in fact, we've made good friends with lots of neighbours over the years due to his insistence on being noticed and petted, but whew, it's never wracking having to knock on a stranger's door and say, "Is my dog there, can I have him?"

    Oh right, this isn't a dog blog....

    Love the print on the dress, seriously love, actually. I like your pairing with the blazer, never would have thought of buying something like that, actually, because the truth is I'm never sure how to pair things like that (not quite a blazer because of the flowy touches but not a cardi, either) those kinds of things tend to stump me ;-)

    But now I am intrigued about trying that!

    What nerve some people have! Get a freaking leash jeez! I love the scalloped blazer--so chic! Your story reminds me of Lady and the Tramp. "She's never called me that before . . ." Sorry about your little run in, hun. Maybe it's because you look so ladylike in this outfit? Score!

    I love the outfit! I can't believe that dress is Avon. It really is a chic piece.
    It is interesting how, if her perception was that her dog was following you, that she didn't apologize to the inconvenience of being chased by her dog. Very interesting indeed.

    Maybe the dog thought you were way more chic than his owner, so that's why he followed you :) You do look very ladylike and sophisticated! I love that gold belt!
