The Painted Flower.....

  

Sorry for the limited amount of photos! When I am going through and choosing, there is always that one thing in every picture that makes me not choose it whether the picture is too dark, not much of the outfit is showing or there is just too much happening in the photo and I lose focus.

 

So, it was a very hot Friday afternoon and I thought, "what a great time to pull out my favorite summer dress!" This dress mimics nature with the dark green backdrop and tan flowers that appear as if they were painted on. I think a flowery dress is so perfect for summer because it is easy to wear, yet, fashionable people won't notice that you just threw it on! Due to the shortness of this dress, I  put a pair of blue jean shorts on.

 

My shoes consist of brown straps, blue jean print up front  and a light cream on the wedge. (Three things that combine to be the perfect summer essential shoe!) I highly recommend finding a pair of wedges for summer that are a neutral color so you can mix and match them with your whole summer wardrobe and these shoes are perfect! They can go with a long dress, a flowy skirt and crop top, or even with shorts. They are "must haves" for summer!

My handbag is a small, little woven basket , every time I carry it around I feel like I am headed to a picnic.

For this post I posed in the cold pouring rain until my camera was so wet I had to continue under a gazebo to avoid future damage to my camera. Why did I almost ruin my camera and get a cold you ask? Well it is due to the fact that I love my fans and try really hard to amaze and inspire you all in any way I can!

 

The dress I am wearing has cuts half way down the back, in the front and on the shoulders. I purchased this dress for two reasons 1.The uniqueness of the cut outs 2. It is a great change up on the classic l.b.d. This dress flatters any figure with a instant slim down look- it accents every part of you figure that you actually don't mind showing off! I think every girl needs a dress she feels great in and that gives her the "own the room" feeling the second she walks through the door and for me this is that dress.

 

My shoes you have seen before from my "Lighten Up for Christmas" post. They were not my first choice in shoe for this outfit but after discussing this outfit with a friend and giving her options she quickly chose these. I must say I liked how they did not match completely, a shoe should fell genuine and special when you put them on sometimes you just know they are right even if they don't match perfectly.

 

The earrings remind me of a chandelier I might see hanging from a high ceiling in an old destroyed home, which I love! They are beautiful with their dark beads dangled so effortless on my ears. I am so excited I found them and it is a pleasure to add them to my jewelry collection.
