dress c/o {ribbon was added from my closet} // similar cuff // flats via {similar; smitten with these}
Hey dolls, happy Friday! I’m betting many of you are excited for Valentine’s day, with big plans. The hubs and I are doing a wine and paint tonight and hitting a little Argentinian restaurant for dinner… mmm!
Today’s post, though isn’t the obligatory Vday outfit post, but if you do want some Vday inspo, feel free to check out my
fashion app for some traditional and not so traditional inspo!
Ok, so on with it! I’m giddy when the bug wants to dress up and join me for a shoot… and picks out her own outfit to ‘be fancy and match you, momma’! It’s always a treat to see what she’s come up with. 😉
What wasn’t captured was her sweet little self running up to me with a ‘flower for your pictures.’ I’m pretty smitten with her and think she’s the best thing ever, even if I am biased!
As for this dress? I feel like it’s so timeless. The puffed sleeves are so classic, the flow of the skirt makes it easy for most body shapes to carry, and though the leaves give me a great fall feeling, I definitely think the bright colors work just as well for spring; making a perfect transitional piece between seasons.
I’ll be honest, I really had this dress in mind paired with booties and a leather jacket, but when I wore it, the temps were waaaay too warm for that, so… you might see this again in the future for a ‘wear 2 ways post’ ;).
Anyhow, this dress was such a find in my favorite local vintage shop… and when I put it on at home, I was elated to find another gem: POCKETS! SWOON. I’m such a sucker for a dress/skirt with pockets.
