Loft Flower Eyelet dress


Flower eyelet cotton dress (size 6): Loft, here
Patent leather oscar heels:  Jessica Simpson
Necklace:  Contest prize from Gigi
I had an inexplicably terrible hair day today.  You can't really tell in the pictures, but trust me.  It managed to look frizzy and limp, puffy and stringy all at the same time.  Lovely! I'm going to blame it on the wind, which also kept trying to blow my skirt up on this lovely eyelet dress.  I was one breeze away from indecent exposure all day.  But oh, do I love this dress!  Most women try to incorporate more color into their wardrobes.  But being the color-crazed girl I am, I have to force myself to include more neurtrals in my closet!  I usually steer clear of black clothing, it makes me feel drab.  (Other than for work suits...those I do like in black.)  But since this dress has a great nude lining, I didn't have the normal drab feeling that black usually gives me.  I really, really love it and I highly recommend you give Loft another chance if, like me, you gave up on the store years ago because of the polyester invasion there.  It seems like there are many more cotton pieces to choose from, and lots of fun, feminine dresses. 

Spring seems to have forgotten Ohio this year.  Seems we went from freezing cold winter to hot summer in one fell swoop.  I'm not complaining...I'm welcoming the warm weather with pale, open arms.

Thanks for stopping by!

  3. You look gorgeous, Jeannie! Yesterday was pretty windy here too, and my midi length pleated skirt threatened with indecent exposure all day, but I kept telling myself there is a fine line between indecent exposure and Marilyn Monroe ;-)

  4. Oh my cuteness! That dress is fantastic. I'm obsessed with eyelet, and this is a great take on a classic. I know what you mean about frizzy hair, mine is not enjoying this wacky weather we've been having. So glad to finally catch up with your blog after my break :) What a treat!
