I know that nautical prints are sort of a retro wardrobe staple, but I didn't own any anchor-embellished dresses until recently. I'm not a huge fan of navy blue, and because a lot of sailor-esque dresses tend to use that color, I was never really drawn to them. When I saw this dress from
Heart of Haute, I immediately took a liking to the silhouette and use of chambray fabric. Since I live about 5 minutes away from part of the Erie Canal, I headed to a nearby park for a change of pace.
I found the fit of the Hillary dress to run true to size, and I really ended up loving this more casual piece. I have so many fancy dresses (and rarely have occasions to which I can wear them), so this is a great addition to my closet. It also gave me an excuse to wear my Erstwilder platypus brooch! I know they're venomous, but I think they're so cute and I've always wanted to meet one! For now, I'll settle for this charming little brooch instead.

so excited because I leave for California tomorrow to visit
Ashley! It'll be my first time ever on the West Coast. We have so many fun things planned, and I can hardly wait to see her! I have a couple of posts scheduled during my trip, but if you want to see what I'm up to while I'm there, be sure to follow along on
Instagram!
Have a great Wednesday!

Fabulously cute dress! I have such a thing for nautical when it's done in unexpected (aka, not just red/white/blue, which are great, too, but variety is the spice of life) colour palettes.

How exciting that you two will get to visit in person (and Disneyland! So fun!)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great dress that clearly will get a lot of use :)
I'm not into sailor dresses, either, but I would totally wear this one! I like the anchor print much better than a navy blue sailor dress. And it fits you so perfectly! I love the platypus brooch, too (I didn't know they were venemous!). So adorable!
ReplyDeleteAh! I have fun visiting Ashley! I can't wait to see your adventures together!
