Yesterday it hit a high of 87 degrees, which was the kind of glorious weather I don't expect to see much more of this year. Of course, I keep saying that. But this time, it's the last few days of September, and it's a lot more likely to be true.
So with that in mind, let's enjoy one last ode to summer with a light and bright, green leafy dress!
This
dress has been worn once since I got it at the thrift store over the
summer. Although I really love the fit and the pattern, its neckline
originally stymied me, as it had those annoying little short ties that
are meant to make a cute bow at the bottom of the neck, but more often
than not just stick straight up and make you look like you never learned
to tie a knot.
Rather than having
a lopsided bow ruin my day, I crossed the two ties over each other and
hand-stitched them back along the neckline, for a lower-maintenance, but
still frilly look. Can you tell that the neckline was altered? I kind
of like it this way!
Feeling a bit
lazy after all that work, but wanting to wear shoes that were
distinctive in some way, I decided on these flatform sandals, which are
low enough to be comfortable but high enough to be interesting, in spite
of being beige.
So long, summer!... For real, this time?
That color green looks good on you!
