Big News! I am officially a home & land owner. After seven months of living on my family's farm, we've found the perfect place for us and bought a little mountain top farm with 20 acres and a cabin. It's going to take a lot of work before it's move-in ready, which means I have not had time to do much blogging. Don't be too alarmed if my posts drop off sharply for a few weeks while we're working, I'll be back in the autumn at the very latest with new looks and new hair.
In the mean time, here's another lost in the shuffle lovely from early summer. On this particular day I had dreams of summer garden parties on my mind and challenged myself to turn a standard sundress into something over the top on girliness. I love the strawberry-citrus colors of this plaid print by Jessica Simpson. To give a more Victorian vibe to a modern dress, I added this ivory lace top underneath.
We often don't think of layering for summertime events, but with its high ruffled neck and buttons down the front, this top completely changed the vibe of this outfit, and its lightweight mesh fabric, kept it cool enough that I hardly noticed the extra layer. When I stepped out in this dress my girls squealed with delight, so I'll take that to mean that I've achieved garden party girliness success. The next step will be to throw an actual garden party. :D
