The waves have been rather more wild and untamed than usual down by the shore lately. I've found myself trotting into the wake more than once to chase down a purse that was getting swept out to sea (thankfully I never can seem to remember to carry my phone, so nothing was damaged). The crashing waves certainly made for some good pictures though and I decided to share a few "accidental" gifs which show some of the sea's energy on this day. I have a hard time making gifs just showing the wind or the waves because I tend to move (awkwardly) around in the picture-taking process.
This dress I received from Lulu*s might be my perfect little black dress. It's velvet, which I have repeatedly stated that I love, but what I really like about it is the shape. It skims the figure without being clingy and doesn't need a belt or anything else to make it look nice. I think it's going to be the perfect dress to reach for when I don't know what I want to wear and don't want to make a lot of effort.

I love the way you styled the velvet dress with the jacket - it looks more casual and less formal that you'd expect of a velvet dress. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is one my favorite outfits I've seen you wear! So lovely.
