Outfit: Coming Up Roses

This dress. Total fairytale dress for me. I've been trying to steer away from the fairytale frocks lately for more practical, simple clothes, but I still can't resist a beauty like this one. It reminds me of Dolce and Gabbana Fall 2015 which was loaded with dresses covered in bold rose appliques. I have a few DIYs in mind inspired by that collection, although this dress takes the edge off of the need for a DIY--which is good because we're busy enough at that moment. Frivolous clothing projects is a lower priority to installing shelves and making wedding favors! That's probably another reason fairytale dresses still hold their appeal right now; after a day in paint-stained shorts and an old tee it's nice to briefly transform into a character out of a story book.
