Capri Blue and Lime Green-Sundress Season!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

This week, I am wearing a cute cartoonish floral print dress of aqua and lime green on a white background

 This season Pantone is calling this shade of blue "Capri"- 

Such a perfect summer color!

The flowers on this dress remind me of the flat color,

 four petal doodles that I drew in grade-school

Darling as this whimsical print sundress is,

 I think it is time for it to be re-homed

Can you guess why?

It is a halter style, with a wide criss-cross front bodice

It is quite modest, but as with all halter styles

there is a need for a strapless bra,

and I don't think I have ever found one

 that I have been truly comfortable in

Today, I am wearing the dress under a lightweight,

 white open front cropped cardigan

In the unlikely event that I will want to take the sweater off 

in the over zealous air conditioning of August,

I have clear bra straps, the next best thing to none 

My minimal jewelry is a gold tone bow hinged bracelet

and a pair of 1950's vintage 3-D flower petal earrings

with rhinestone centers in aqua enamel 💙

 I purchased these on Etsy

Online purchases of vintage items is always tricky,

 but this one turned out great-I love these!

Carrying a handle bag in black and white gingham

An easy way for me to work in a little pattern mixing

with the perfect summer print

Wearing my own thin black belt,

and a pair of black low wedge heel sandals

with asymmetrical straps

These have gotten a surprising amount of wear this summer

They work well with shorter dresses and skirts,

and all types of ankle length pants

Matchy-matchy once more-

that complements the flower print in my dress

Wearing a dress in this beautiful summer color 

last season on the blog (when it was just called aqua)

 This one is an aqua background, covered in a print

of pink and purple butterflies 

 

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
