Vintage Shoes c/o Haberdash
Necklace: Spotted Moth ($32)
worn beneath: Sweet Ceylon Shorts c/o Ruche
I am in love with this outfit. This is what I wore to Prairie Home Companion at Tanglewood on Saturday night, and it turned out to be the perfect thing. Summer has finally arrived, so light fabric is a must, I grabbed this dress last week during ModCloth's So Haute sale and I'm so glad I got it! It's light and breezy and extremely versatile. I knew I'd need sensible shoes, so I added my favorites from Punky and replaced the self tie belt that came with the dress, with a matching one from J.Crew. Then I threw on some bronze accessories and I was ready! So easy!
I've definitely been trying to add some brights to my closet, there is a lot of blue and white in there! I love this summer's color blocking trend, and it has certainly made finding bright clothes easier. I've also found these shorts (which are back in stock, BTW) to be the perfect pair to wear under a dress for modesty. I live about 1/4 mile from the ocean, so our town is extremely windy all the time, making short dresses rather scandalous. Wearing a cute pair of shorts underneath is the perfect solution, and this particular pair adds very little extra bulk.

Such a gorgeous shade of bright red! I've been stocking up on shorts to wear under my skirts as well, I've had one too many mishaps with gusty winds.
I almost bought this dress, but was worried it would be way too short...but I think we're the same height so maybe there's hope :o) I'd love to see how you style it with the sheer top it comes with!
i'm in love with your shoes! <3

such awesome dress! I saw the sales advertisement here and rushed to their site and found the perfect black dress- and was so cheap and on my size!unfortunately shipping costs were as expensive as the dress itself ( I live in uk)-not so so expensive anyway but it's a matter of belief never to pay more in shipping than the actual buy! :D
that necklace and dress are insanely adorable!!! im SO jealous you got to see prairie home companion, how cool!!!! :D
That is such an awesome color on you! And wow, I just realized how long your hair is! Makes me want to grow out mine...
Those white oxfords are perfect with your breezy red dress! Such a cute summer look!
Love the dress! Great color :)
I am trying to add more colour to my clothes too, this dress does it perfectly !
stunning nkeclace and red suits you so well. I really envy how thick your hair is!
Julie amazing hair, it is now past your waist. Dress looks beautiful on you and I like how you paired it with the belt and shoes. Dawn suitcase vignettes
I love how you paired jazz flats with this. I think most people (self included) would have instantly defaulted to sandals, but what you did is so much more interesting!
this dress is so pretty. pink is one of my favoutite colours this summer.
