I had about a 10 minute window this afternoon to run out and take some photos, we're finally getting some much needed rain. Today is one of those windy and rainy pre-fall days where you just want to curl up in a sweatshirt and hide out indoors. Which is exactly what I'm doing. We got some cooler weather this weekend too, which has aided the trees to start turning, pretty soon Fall will be in full swing in New England!
I was happy to be able to break out some tights this morning, I tried this dress this past weekend sans-tights and it was a little too short for my comfort. Tights make me much more comfortable with really short clothing. I love how the blue, brown and white work together. I've been looking for the perfect white dress all summer, I love this one from ModCloth and I could immediately imagine it with a brown belt and tights. Sure it's a little short, but the lace is so pretty and I love the three quarter sleeves, even though it's white I plan to wear it long after labor day with tights and a sweater.
I found these shoes last week at a thrift store in New Hampshire, they're new, but I bought them because they remind me of 60's loafers with the little square heel. I love new shoes that look old, you get all the comfort of newly designed footwear but the style of something vintage.
Also stay tuned for a another giveaway on Wednesday, this one is going to be really fun! All I'm going to say is pay close attention to my accessories today and tomorrow!
I once again didn't get any images of my weekend, Chris and I drove to Maine to visit my Mom on Friday and stayed until Saturday night. We went peach picking, had a bon fire and ate smores. Sometimes weekends are too good to stop and take photos!
How was your weekend?

I'm the same way with tights and short dresses. This is just one of my favorite outfits ever!
I do miss fall in New England. The air is so crisp and clean...it just feels like a fresh start.
I love, love, love the colors in this look. The lace dress is lovely on you and I love how it frames the tattoos on your back. I actually have a similar dress that I love. Check it out: http://stylebysantina.blogspot.com/2010/07/everyones-favorite-dress.html

This has got to be one of my favourite outfits of yours! I totally love the dress and the tights, and the shoes are so cute!
My weekend was great too..had a picnic date with my boyfriend :)
I'm the same with short dresses..I don't care if they're short as long as I'm wearing opaque tights with them. But without? No way!
Love your dress btw!

Love the lace dress! I got married in a dress that looks similar ( I got from H&M) and now it's on loan to a friend who's reniewing her vows. Thanks for the great idea - it looks cute with the dark tights =)
I love how you styled this dress. The blue tights really bring the outfit together and add a certain amount of charm to the color scheme.
Great oufit, I love the color of the tights mixed with the lace dress. :)

There are several dresses in my closet that are too short to wear without tights. Sometimes I don't discover it until I am already out, and then I feel awkward.
I LOVE this outfit! What gorgeous color tights those are :)
Your tattoos are so perfect! I am currently working up the courage for my first ;)
i love these navy tights with this dress...and the brown belt! love, love, love!!
Love this lace dress!

You look fantastic, as I'm sure you're well aware. Your legs look about a mile long, and I really like that we catch a glimpse of your tattoos with this dress. As for that necklace... sigh!
that dress is so sweet and feminine! i wish our country's weather was "tights-friendly".

Wish I could wear tights. I'm afraid this Midwest humidity will sustain that want until about October. So. Totally. Lame.
