china

Dress (worn like this)- Gap; Belt- United Colours of Benetton; Shoes & Tank-Top- Thrifted; Flower Hairband- Peacocks, UK; Purse- Aldo; Bracelet- Sears; Rings- Gifted; Nail Polish- Lapis of Luxury by Essie

Whenever I wear this dress I feel like a piece of blue & white china, the kind that my Mum collects.  Dainty but funky. I bought this dress a couple of years ago at Gap and love the pattern so much I also own it in a vest.  For a work outfit I decided to style the dress with red accents and added the floral headband for the photos as I felt under-accessorized (when it comes to accessories, I am a more is more kind of gal!)


The weather is finally warm enough to open our pool so I plan on spending a good part of the weekend poolside with an alcoholic beverage (it's been a long week!), a good book and a cute swimsuit!





Have a wonderful weekend!

  11. My favourite part of this outfit is the peek of red at the neckline. It's like it's saying to the other red accessories, me too! me too! You're owning this look, and I love the great beachy waves.

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
