Sweet Summer Dress

I’m in the process of packing our suitcases; Cole has to travel for work, he’s leaving tomorrow and he’ll be gone for a full week.  The gals and I are having a stay-cation of sorts, we’ve reserved a house by the coast so we can visit the beach all week.  It’s only about an hour by train from home, but who doesn’t want to fall asleep listening to the sounds of the ocean?  I’m bringing my hats, sandals, sunglasses, and this cute little cotton dress.

After seeing how well the black blazer from Levitation Fashion fit, I decided to order a second one; while I was there, I spotted this adorable little summer number on sale.  Cute + sale + wiggle room in the budget = in my shopping cart.  And who says math isn’t easy?

I’m always a bit nervous when trying on something that’s on the shorter side and, shopping online, you have to guesstimate this stuff and hope for the best.  Thankfully, I’m not quite as tall as the models showing off the garments, so the dress has a tiny bit of extra length on me and I think it’s just darling.

As you can see, the fit is slightly over-sized with a light, cotton fabric with subtle, beautiful floral detailing.  Perfect for warm, sunny afternoons spent lounging in the sun, wouldn’t you agree?
