Summer stripes

Considering the amount of effort I put into obsessing over and acquiring this dress last summer, you'd think I'd have pulled it out of the closet before now.

Perhaps it was just waiting for the hat? And the shoes, a seemingly unexpected choice turned out to be the absoulte perfect pair.

  2. A very fun dress. Sometimes I think half the fun of clothes is the stalking of it on sale - once it's gotten the novelty can wear off ;)

  6. It's funny how we can buy things we've been wanting so bad and then completely forget about them. But I'm glad that the purchasing of your cute hat led you to pairing it with this lovely dress. It's like you've got stripes all over! <3

    Also, Zenon was totally rad and you shouldn't be embarrassed to say it. ;) I'm actually planning on watching it later today if I can find it somewhere. ZOOMZ OOM ZOOM~~

    But can we talk a little more about your iPhone cover? It looks so cute, and I just got my first iPhone this week!! And the hunt is one for a great cover.
