In the Navy

I cringed when I noticed that I am wearing a hair tie around my wrist in every single one of these pictures. It's a really bad habit of mine. Anyway, I really liked this dress that I bought from Tobi.com because it has such a bohemian feel to it. It's loose, simple, and the sides of it are a little flared out and longer than the center hem of the dress. I also like how it has a nice little braided detail in the back for interest. It's the perfect thing to wear to a carefree day on the beach. I added simple accessories with it--a straw sunhat, beaded bracelets, and a spike necklace...and, ugh, my favorite hairtie.

A Tribal None Can Rival

I feel like writing about this dress is almost unnecessary because it practically speaks for itself. The colors are eye-catching and beautiful, and the dress works so easily from day to night. I feel like many women would shy away from accessories here because may think the dress would be too busy, but I think this dress shines even more when you give it another color to play with. This coral statement necklace really did the trick, in my opinion. I also think a burnt orange would really make the blues and whites pop--perhaps I'll try that later on. This outfit would be adorable for wine tasting or a wedding reception. Wherever you choose to wear it, make sure there will be a lot of people there because an outfit like this deserves to be seen!

Posies and Warm Toe-sies

This outfit can sort of defy seasons. I originally wore it toward the end of spring, but I can see it being worn on a colder summer day, or a warmer fall day. On top it appears to be beach season, and on the bottom it seems to be time to curl up by the fire. But I figure, if people once got away with mini skirts and Ugg boots, I can get away with this. Furthermore, the colors in the dress aren't overly bright so I think it works. I also love all the textures going on in this outfit--the light, soft rayon of the dress, the rough denim of the jacket, the shiny smooth leather of the purse, the textured leather of the boots, and the warm wool of the knee-highs. It's a really cute and flirty outfit to wear out to lunch with friends or even a casual date.
