{ that dress }






{ karen walker sunnies, kelly framel jewelry (the tangerine tiki necklace is available now!), helmut lang jacket (last seen HERE), alythea bra courtesy of modcloth, chloe sevigny x opening ceremony dress, rebecca minkoff clutch (last seen HERE), alexander wang shoes (recently seen HERE and HERE) }

remember that dress i mentioned yesterday? well here it is, in one of the many, many ways i've worn it so far this summer. incidentally, this ensemble simultaneously features the same sunnies, blazer and shoes i wore HERE ~ as i get older (and more assured of my own style) i feel like i'm getting better at predicting which pieces i'll get a ton of wear out of, and are therefore worth investing in. this outfit's full of them!!

The dress is darling, and totally smitten with how versatile it is. The colors in the photos are complete eye candy as well!

what a darling print! age does bring with it a certain foresight and wisdom, and our personal style benefits, as long as we are still willing to take some risks and be bold and new when it is right.

you're right, it's a great dress! it falls on your shape really well.

Agree with you on the developing of a personal style. I certainly seem to be developing more of a specific identity in my fashion choices nowadays, there's a consistency but still a willingness to experiment with touches of trends (eg neon is so easy to incorporate in small doses..)

Obsessed with this dress! My latest purchase to get my polka dot fix was at couturecandy.com. I have worn this romper out to lunch and even to a wedding shower. Too good. worhttp://www.couturecandy.com/tart/tasia-romper-short-in-polka-dot/product.html
