One of my thoughts when picking out this dress, sent to me for review by eShakti, was that it would make a good date outfit. The cut and color are sweetly Sonya-esque, but not overly girlish. My boyfriend is more than a decade older than me, so if we have plans, I try not to look any younger than I actually am. (Almost 20, if you're wondering.)
Today he took me out for breakfast and a stroll, and this ensemble was perfect for the breezy-but-warm weather. I felt very cute, which is a date essential. My confidence tends to get amped up by falling back on established style formulas, like "sundress + cardigan". Lately I've been in the mood for similarly simple makeup: I just darken my eyebrows and swipe on lipstick.
Since today's full-body photos came out blurry, I decided to dive into the flowers...
Wanna see more daisies? Check out this morbid illustration or this beatific one. Daisies are rad.
That is a very cute dress! Feeling cute and confident on a date is definitely a must-have for me too, and this dress does just that! Plus the fact that is had pockets is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAmen! I love pockets! Honestly I don't even use them for carrying things, but I appreciate that I *could*.
DeleteI was 19 and the man who would be my husband was 31 when we met and started dating in college. And of course I thought he was sooooo mature. Fast forward a few more years and I've grown up (okay, I have some more to do) and I think he's about as mature as when I met him.
ReplyDeleteHmm... what am I trying to say here... - age is just a number. It can mean a whole lot, and be completely irrelevant. Have confidence in you.
Also, pretty dress. ~twirls you~
I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN SUNSHINE, I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN RAIN
DeleteAhem. You triggered my latent Julie Andrews. Thanks Karen <3
You go, heartcrusher! Haha, thanks :)
ReplyDeleteLove this combo!! :-D You should always wear what makes you feel cute if you want to. It's not 'falling back' on something, it's knowing what you like and enjoying it :-)
ReplyDeleteGood point! Thanks Syl :)
