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-
Roger in an aqua blue polo
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!

  1. I love the somewhat whimsical aqua and lime green floral print, but I'm not as crazy about the black detailing. It probably looks great close up, but at a distance, the black seems to dominate the dress.

  2. And Roger is wearing a polo! Yeah! I love the blacl small belt over the white cardigan that accentuates the black lines in the lovely dress! Enjoy your summer too!

  3. Halter tops are one of my favorite kinds of tops. I wear a Halftee often under the dresses but I do wear my tops usually with a strapless bra.
