Daisy Bell

pastel vintage

I know autumn is the time for plaids and rich colors... but who says you can't wear pastels in the fall??  Kate recently sent me this dress as a gift (which was incredibly sweet of her), and I couldn't wait to wear it.  It's not a dress that I would necessarily pick out for myself, but the details are incredibly darling, and I ended up really loving it.  I decided to pair it with this cropped cardigan -- which I own in like, 6 other colors because I love it so much! -- and the pillbox hat and daisy brooch just jumped out at me.  I wish I had a pair of little yellow shoes, though!

This whole week looks like it's going to be rainy and cold(ish), so these sunshine-y photos are making me happy!  I have lots of fun stuff coming up here on the blog within the next week, so stay tuned -- especially this Sunday (hint hint)!  :)  My birthday is next Tuesday, though it honestly doesn't feel like it.  Maybe bloggy stuff will help put me in the celebratory spirit.

  3. I love the colours and I especially love that darling hat! I actually quite like pastels in the cold, it feels a bit ice queen. Especially when it's blue-ish. Mind you we have just jumped straight to freezing in the UK, so not suspending I'm thinking of ice! Great outfit anyway, Kate chose well (she would)! CC x (ps hoping to send stuff over this weekend :) )

  4. Such a darling ensemble! The palette makes me think of a gorgeously sunny day with clear blue skies (and perhaps some lace clouds, if clouds were made from lace, that is :)).

  5. This dress looks great on you, and it's so awesome that you received such a well chosen and thoughtful gift. I love how it looks paired with the yellow cardigan. Pastels are great year round - they really brighten things up when you work all day and feel like you never get to see the sun.

  8. Oh, I love this color combination, and the pretty lace! But the brooch is my favorite; I have a thing for brooches. My collection is ever-growing.

  11. This dress is perfection, Kate is so sweet! I wear pastels year round, it's fun to try and work them into your fall/winter wear. I agree with you too, I need some yellow shoes too! If you find any let me know :).
