| Dress (worn like this), Blouse & Belt- Thrifted; Headband- Zellers; Sandals- Old Navy I wore this dress back in May but never got around to posting it. I wanted to wear it again re-styled for summer as part of my animal print week but alas it's packed away in preparation for the big move. Butterflies, polka dots, mini square prints (and a playful ginger kitty) join forces in this ensemble for a pattern mixing party! |

I also wanted to give a big 4th of July shoutout to all my American readers! I may be Canadian (and proud of it!) but my best friend is American (representing New Jersey), I love vacationing in the States & my man and I plan to one day move to California so you could say I'm an Americanophile at heart!
I wore red, white & blue today as I was lucky enough to be invited to the US Ambassador's 4th of July garden party in Ottawa. It's not everyday I get to mingle with politicians and ambassadors so I felt quite prestigious, (if only for a few hours!)

Ahh that's so exciting and fun that you were invited to the party! I was watching the news and they showed the party. The Ambassador was talking about the food and it made me hungry and jealous... :P
