A few sunny days and all the ice on this side of the lake has all but disappeared. Once again it is still and reflective; a soothing place to pass a bit of time.
It has been too long since I wore my star print dress, no? I wore it so much last year that I can only be inspired to wear it when I can think of a fresh way to style it. This little jacket from H&M did the trick, making the ensemble feel somehow patriotic. While black flats would be an easy end to the outfit, I did a little doodling on my shoes with a paint pen. I do enjoy shoes with a little splash of personality and clearly haven't moved past my high school habit of drawing on my Converse.
super cute outfit. I love the dress.
ReplyDeleteYour jacket is lovely and I super love how you've customized those shoes! All beautiful. A.

Whatta coincendence. Right before opening this blog, I was thinking to myself, 'I would really like a black dress with some cute white stars on it.' Yours is pretty much the best example of what I want my dress to look like. ♥
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome shoe doodles! I am so inspired! You look fantastic as per usual! Do you hem your dresses? Your dresses are always so fantastic! And I am so tempted to buy them online. But then I worry they will be way too short on me; because they fit you so perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe whole outfit is just perfect! Cute star dress, military jacket, perfect gloves & the clock are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the gloves detail!! ♥
ReplyDeleteObviously I need to drag myself off to H&M. Your jacket and Q's pants the other day have reminded me why it's worth the 3 hour drive.
ReplyDeletevery cute outfit, I loooooove that star print dress!
ReplyDeletelovelove,

I just love that horse necklace-watch! Such a cute addition to the outfit.

ReplyDeleteyou are masterful!
