I've had this dress for a few years -- in fact I think the last time I wore it was for our engagement photos (Chris's beard is so little!) -- but for the past couple it's been relegated to the back of my closet. While It's not necessarily my style so much anymore (I've recently become more aware of what I might personally consider to be "too young" for my personal style), I just can't bear to part with it for some reason, I just love how crisp the dots are and the sturdy fabric. I wish I could stick to those rules about parting with things you haven't worn in six months or a year -- but I'll pull things out of retirement years after not wearing them only to find a new way to style it.

+ I got a haircut. It feels good to have less of it.

+ As a (very) late birthday gift, Chris gifted me this sweet kitty-ear bracelet made by our insanely talented friend, Michael. I am obsessed.
