Popcorn and ice cream




Outfit Details:
Rose Dress in Delicious Sundae Print: Bernie Dexter
Dream of the Crop Cardigan in Red: ModCloth
Vintage milkshake brooch: Good Goody Girls Jewels
Red Mary Janes: Urban Outfitters (old)
Popcorn purse: Sweetbox Store
Red coat: eBay




I may have been a *little* overly zealous for the end of winter when I took these photos.  I am just so, so sick of wearing boots and bundling up that I decided to don a summery dress and Mary Janes and cold be damned, I was going to take photos without ruining the effect via clunky boots!  Of course, I immediately regretted my decision when I got snow in my shoes.  I can't wait to wear this outfit when it's actually weather-appropriate and I don't risk getting frostbite.




I wore this dress for our first day in Disney World, when we went to the 1950s-themed restaurant at the Beach Club resort and dinner at the Boardwalk.  I am nothing if not thematic.  I received more compliments on this dress than I could ever imagine.  I'd planned on packing a petticoat (I think this dress looks better with a little fluff underneath), but that wasn't in the cards, and for some reason, the one I use most makes this dress look WAY too voluminous.  I need one that has less layers!  I'd been crushing on different versions of this amazing printed dress from Bernie Dexter for forever, and I finally took the plunge when it was on sale a while ago.  I'm so glad I did, because every dress I've ever purchased from her has been incredibly flattering and dreamy.  I always have about 3 different dresses of hers at a time on my wish list!  They're definitely more summery frocks, but that just makes me all the more excited for warm weather.  Spring, please hurry up!





Have a beautiful Saturday!

  10. Yeah, there are definitely days when you gotta just shoot a middle finger up to weather and try to wear something else. ;D YOU GO GIRL! I hope you didn't freeze your lil booty off too much. Or if you did, maybe it will grow back.

    That dress is absolutely adorable. If I wore that, I'd be hungry all day. :)
