This outfit went through at least four different incarnations before I settled on this one. And actually I ended up changing it a bit after I took these pictures but was too tired to go out and take more. This is my namesake dress from ModCloth. I kind of find myself having difficulty styling it, ironically. I wish it had sleeves, or something. Maybe I'll try to DIY it and make it more wearable. What can I say, I kinda really like sleeves! But not all sleeves. I don't like long sleeves, they irritate my wrists. And I hate cap sleeves, ugh. I like well done short-med length sleeves, or long sleeves that don't look dumb rolled up. And there's my sleeve policy. I'm sure you all cared immensely about it.

I ventured out of my back alley to a tiny park nearby! I'm so adventurous. Not. Only slightly less lazy. I had to walk a whole 50 yards! Maybe this weekend I will go out and find some fun photo places that are not within a 50 yard radius of my house.
So far I don't really have any plans for the weekend, but my brain has some thoughts, so we'll see how that all pans out. I have a couple errands to run today, but other than that... the sky's the limit! Okay, well maybe not "the sky" but there are options...

Such a beautiful dress xoxo
I was actually considering buying this dress since i love it so much, but i reckon its going to be a bit short on me?
Love the colour of the trees in the background in the last picture :)
Just arrived on your blog! Really amazing!and your outfit is really cute!!!
what a simply perfect outfit!
even if you may have been slightly unhappy with the look of this outfit, i totally dig it! i love the cut out on the back!
That dress is beautiful on you! The hat, the floral pattern, the back, it's so eternal and summery!
Hope you have a fun weekend :]

Love the hat! Hey. I saw you the other day at the airshow but by the time I got kids etc. situated to run over and introduce myself you were lost in the crowd. Sad! Oh well, you looked great there too and maybe there will be another "sighting" someday! Have a fantastic weekend...
That dress is lovely, and looks absolutely gorgeous on you!

That's amazing that you have a name sake dress on Modcloth. It's very sweet. I especially love the back bow.
I can see that maybe it would be a bit harder to style

I think you look fantastic! maybe you could layer a sleeved shirt under it?

I like it! It looks cute on you. You should broaden your sleeve horizons. hehe I love no-sleeves. But that's probably because I live in a sauna (South Texas). :P Have a great weekend!

cute cute! i love that 90's style floral prints are making a come back! 90210 all the way :)
It looks pretty! You could layer something with sleeves under it maybe? :)
this reminds me so much of a romantic movie in a way. . . just the feel of the shots. the colours. . it is beautiful. just like you are beautiful ;)
cute dress, love the back of it. & the trees look beautiful- they compliment the colors in your dress
i think the dress would look really cute with a peter pan collared shirt underneath.
Fantastic dress!
The second photo is beautiful! Who is your amazing photographer?
Have a nice day~
Love that dress and its so perfect with your hat
very pretty dress! looks like you're ready for a European tea party.
great, now I'm craving strawberry tarts again.
such a gorgeous dress! love all your cute girly dresses!!
love,

i think you look great in that dress and your hair is just wonderful!
Haha 'sleeve policy', that's pretty good.
I must agree though. I like sleeves atm because for some reason my arms look all chubby at the top, and a nice sleeve covers that.
Nice hat :)

I love the cut of that dress and the back ~ it looks great. Epsecially with the boater hat!
I am so craving on of those, but I have yet to find one/find a hat that is suitable to remake into a boater...

Congrats on a namesake dress! Even though it took you awhile to style, it does look quite beautiful on you.
That dress is adorable and looks great on you! I agree with you that sleeves are awesome, but I'm not as picky :p Really cute look.
I have similar feelings about sleeves.
Also, this is probably weird, but I totally love how you're so short, and rocking those curvy hips and booty. It makes me happy to see another girl with a similar body type! So inspiring.
I love your dress! the back is so pretty.
I love the hat. :)
The dress is quite pretty-you're so lucky they named it after you.
I feel like I have chubby upper arms (but my wrists are as dainty as can be-odd!) so I love sleeves. But at the same time long sleeves make me feel like a sausage. Just sharing my sleeve policy too! :)

i am in full agreement. If i wear long sleeves I have to roll them up or push them up, i don't like them to touch my wrists.
I love that hat with you amazing hair, as always!
baha, you're funny.
I agree with the sleeve policy. I am sort of a three quarter girl. The dress does look quite nice on you, though.
How cool to have a dress named after you, really cool i thinks :)
Beautiful photos! That looks like a lovely little park. :) And I like what you've done with your namesake dress.
that suits you you know?

I've actually been taking a liking to things without sleeves as of late. I like the dress!
