Please excuse the amount of photos today, but I just love how they came out. On Fridays and the weekend I like to have Chris take my pictures- it's just quicker- and he's really become quite good at recognizing good light and nice backgrounds. Today we were running all over town doing errands- like finally going grocery shopping- but I still wanted to look nice. This is actually the same outfit I wore to NYC on Tuesday, but I just loved it so much I wore it again! I've been on the hunt for the perfect striped dress forever, and I think I've found it! The sweet ladies at Spotted Moth were kind enough to send it over, and I have to say I'm obsessed. I love the sweetheart neckline and the buttons up the back, but the best part is that the stripes are grey enough to pass for black or blue, making it that much more versatile. I went for blue today, pairing it with a blue belt and my new-to-me blue and white wing-tips.
Anyways, the day became ungodly hot so after our grocery shopping we headed down to the park to sit seaside and enjoy each other's company. This park is one of the nicest places in town, and when we showed up we discovered they were performing Twelfth Night in the rose garden!
Well, I'm keeping things short and sweet tonight, it's about 90 degrees in my kitchen (where my computer is), I'm going to con Chris into taking a walk!
I'll have an NYC re-cap next week!
Goodnight!

this is probably one of the most amazing dresses I have seen! I am extremely jealous about the shoes that you thrifted they are beautiful! gorgeous pictures!
I can see why you love this dress, it's so pretty on you :) I'm really inspired to get a pair of oxfords now, they look really nice with that dress. Hope you have a lovely weekend!
I DIE for your entire outfit today! Your shoes (what a steal!) are especially fabulous :)
Happy Weekend!
oh mah gahhhhh love these, you look exceptionally gorgeous!
This is such a cute summer outfit! I love that you kept it simple with flats and a feminine necklace. Also, your hair and makeup look really fantastic. Great job with the pictures, Chris!
xoxo
Gorgeous photos and outfit, I think this might be my favorite of yours... and that's saying a lot! xx
you look absolutely fantastic in these pictures. I don't know if its the hair, the lighting, the outfit, the angel; maybe its all of the above. You're looking great <3
also looks like you're getting a tan. So jealous!
That dress is a really flattering cut, and goes nicely, but unexpectedly, with those shoes. In some of the pictures, with the light, the stripes could even be sage green. I bet you'll have that dress for years and years.
Besides being a super-flattering dress, I love how you paired the wingtip shoes with it! Sooo cute and awesome!
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day!

beautiful dress ! :) xoxo
LOVE the dress and especially the shoes. I would wear this entire outfit top to bottom. I am significantly shorter with brown curly hair, but if I could add the blonde pony tail too I might.
oh my gosh....i LOVE those shoes!!!
your posture is the best part of these pictures! were you ever a ballerina?!
Oh my goodness. THAT DRESS *swoons*.
Really, though, you look absolutely adorable. I never would have thought to put it with those shoes, but it looks great.
I've just found your blog but I'm already obsessed. :)

Jeepers, those shoes were a good find. Excellent find, in fact. Just like Audrey from Twin Peaks...
The dres is really sweet, simple but unique, especially the back is so pretty. I love your shoes too, have been looking for a like pair forever. :)
Ahh, those shoes are amazing, and such a steal. :3 And your hair always looks so adorable!
xo Aria Kai.
Love your style soo much, I'll be a regular stopper by now :o)
I've wanted shoes like those for ages!
I just found your blog, you have a lovely sense of style and some absolutely beautiful clothes, the dress is such a nice shape and i love the brogues x
The dress is totally a gem, and the styling is fantastic. Can we talk about those wingtips? Seriously Julie, where are you thrifting? Because apparently I've been hitting all the wrong thrift stores in the greater Boston area. I never manage to find shoes in decent shape. Never mind that these are totally awesome.
ooh I love the pictures with the flowerpott!
I love love love your shoes! Would you be willing to sell them? What size do you wear?
have to agree with everyone and you that dress is great on you and it is a really great striped dress. love your hair in a pony tail too!

Gorgeous dress, shoes, and shoot location!
I am loving your simple ponytail - i'm always envious of your gorgeous hair and once again it looks fab!
Loving the shoes too, tres bon x
