happy friday!!! i am so ready for the long weekend. i can't wait to relax with friends eating, drinking, swimming....and eating again:)
this outfit feels quintessentially american to me-just like mom, baseball, and apple pie. a full airy skirt, a denim work shirt and ladylike pumps.
i love this dress. i'd forgotten it was hidden in basement storage. doug and i had been dating a little over five months when our first valentine's day came up. i'm not a girl that likes valentine's day. it's sort of like new year's eve-it's always better in theory than in reality. anyway, he knows how much i love the ballet and that first year together he got us tickets to see romeo and juliet at the cincinnati ballet. i wanted something special to wear that was soft and romantic. i found this dress on ebay and fell in love. it was perfect. he even brought me a gardenia to tuck into my hair...swoon! i have never had a more perfect evening.
to make it a little more daytime appropriate i paired it with this miley cyrus(the shame!) denim shirt. i belted it with this wide belt from f21 and folded the hem under. the only accessory is my fantastic anthro meringue cuff. have a wonderful fourth of july weekend!!
very cute! looks like a fun and full skirt this way.
ReplyDeleteI just adore your style! You have just inspired me so much through your blog. You look like you are having so much fun in this outfit :) I always love finding older clothes that I've forgotten about and reworking it with the new things in my closet!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! And I love the story about the ballet...
