Once we got her on the road this summer the anxiety really eased up. I hope yours continues to too! <br /><br />In other news, this dress is just amazing! I love the collar and the contrasting pattern in the pleats. It's so pretty on you!<br /><br />Jamie | <a href="http://www.petitepanoply.com" rel="nofollow">PetitePanoply.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015161846956232802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405510990510946643.post-88487379475797936592014-08-10T11:56:15.917-04:002014-08-10T11:56:15.917-04:00You officially convinced me that I need this dress...You officially convinced me that I need this dress!! <br /><br />xoox<br />Amelia Junebugs and Georgia Peacheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108272160242697555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405510990510946643.post-64622550684171008642014-08-09T17:00:39.940-04:002014-08-09T17:00:39.940-04:00I love the mushroom brooch, too cute!

Now, driving and driving instructors ... we should talk, my friend. I did not drive until I was 21 on purpose, yes ... lots to share, including a geriatric driving teacher who slapped me on the hand when I made a mistake, and then there was how I was awarded a license finally... that was 30 years ago, but your sharing brought it all back - so glad to read you have such a good teacher!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347780232544492030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405510990510946643.post-14024958510571644352014-08-06T18:47:34.587-04:002014-08-06T18:47:34.587-04:00Such a cute outfit- love the little mushroom brooc...Such a cute outfit- love the little mushroom brooch! I too am a very nervous driver. I'm not sure where the anxieties stem from, but I've been driving since high school and I still don't love it. My nervousness was not quelled by my first driving instructor, though! She made me so anxious- she yelled at other drivers and took me out on a main highway for my first ever time driving! Yikes! Luckily, for the second lesson I got a new instructor and he was great! I was much more at ease and had a much better time. I managed to pass my test on the first try after learning from him, so an instructor can definitely make or break driving for a nervous nellie like myself! It's great that you have a better instructor now! :-)<br />-MelissaSavvy Spinster Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599409166066195370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405510990510946643.post-85736048209007513722014-08-06T14:03:29.928-04:002014-08-06T14:03:29.928-04:00Every single outfit you post is ridiculously cute....Every single outfit you post is ridiculously cute.

Which, at the time, was terrifying, but I had an instructor who could intervene if anything got too hairy, so I eventually lost the fear a bit. That same year I took a test and passed with one minor fault. A few more years passed before I had access to a car (this year, in fact) and I've felt scared all over again, but am just trying to accept that for some people driving isn't that comfortable and as long as you know what you're doing and be extra cautious if it helps you, it's ok. I also don't make myself do too much more than I want to, but a little bit of pushing seems to help. I always think if I can learn to drive, anyone can!!<br /><br />It's just not as easy for everyone, but it's ok :) xCiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681037606009960879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405510990510946643.post-68558493095134056222014-08-06T03:35:23.557-04:002014-08-06T03:35:23.557-04:00That dress is absolutely gorgeous, and red looks r...That dress is absolutely gorgeous, and red looks really good on you!

I drool (sometimes literally) over PUG dresses, but I just could never bring myself to spend that much. If I have $150 to drop, I'd rather get something vintage that is truly unique and has a history, although I definitely see the pros to buying repro. Both you and Junebugs and Georgia Peaches have had good things to say about Lindy Bop, and I'm thinking I'll have to pick one up when I start shopping for fall.<br />2) Mushrooms! The dress is really cute, and that's a totally unexpected, but also really playful thing to pick up from it. And I love the wooden purse, I've been wanting to find one for a while now, and the decoupage mushrooms make it really sweet and fun.<br />3) I'm 27 and have never had a driver's license. I've also been kind of scared to learn at this point, but hearing that someone else had the same issues and is working through them gives me some hope.<br /><3<br />Jessica, cakesandcakesvintage.blogspot.comJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405510990510946643.post-69908596024032355982014-08-05T13:53:19.784-04:002014-08-05T13:53:19.784-04:00Super super cute!
