When I go to mom's, I always want to plan these amazing outfits because she has such great scenery but then I end up bumming around on the couch in my pajamas or running around outside in yoga pants and tee shirts. Now, I'm finally getting the knack of it and planning cute but comfy for weekends in the country. I haven't worn this dress in ages but you can't go wrong with a little cotton dress. I love the ric-rac trim and colorful print. Great for hanging out indoors, running into town or going on walks in the meadow.
I paired it with a 1950s cashmere cardigan that I was so proud of- thirfted last week for two bucks!
Oh and the brooch. I freakin' love this brooch and it was a total accident. We stopped at the craft store last Thursday night so could pick up my weekend craft supplies before our trip. I spotted a few really awesome jewelry findings on sale and this was one of them. I simply stuck an adhesive pin back on it and voila- epic novelty brooch!

ReplyDeleteHi Brittany, your red locks look so beautiful on you. Don't ever change the color:)
ReplyDeleteThat brooch is awesome. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThat color blue looks beautiful on you! One of my favorite colors...why do I never find things like that at our local thrift stores? Also, thanks for reminding us all to slow down a bit and enjoy some simple pleasures.
ReplyDeleteFabulous outfit, I like how you have accessorised it.
ReplyDeleteI always do the same when I go to my parents house! Just because I live in the city and don't have a yard for lovely photos. It can be hard to plan ahead those outfits and then when you're actually there want to do the photos. These came out lovely and the brooch was such a cute idea!
