Banana Republic dress; Guess sandals; Banana Republic bracelet
My summer-like mood hasn't dissipated. I'm willing to withstand a few goosebumps and chilly drafts if it means easy knit dresses - like my latest conquest from Banana Republic. The beaded neckline negates any need for an over-the-top necklace - a definite plus for summer's sticky weather when the last thing you want is a chain touching the base of your neck.
As luck would have it, the dress is a perfect match for my standby summer accessory: a chunky gold bracelet.
Note: If you're interested in purchasing the dress online, it does run large. Be sure to choose the smaller size if you're wavering between two.
Wow! You really are in a summer mood already! I'm still trying to break into Spring!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress, nice neckline and that bracelet is gorgeous! Wish I could go out with bare legs but here it's raining again and it's pretty cold, about 9 degrees:( Enjoy the sunny weather over there!
ReplyDeleteOh that neck line!! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally one for disregarding the actual temp and dressing for the spring weather if my imagination.
love! I just bought a bunch of summer dresses! I'm with you
ReplyDeleteNice dress with lovely neckline. Unfortunately way too cold for that sort of dress over here. I'm still donning my parka (god how fed up I am with winter clothes!).
ReplyDeleteLovely colors- I like the gold with the brown, each appears richer because of the other. What a pretty neckline on that dress.
