WIW: Butterfly in the Grass

August 31, 2012

I finally got to debut my grass-print dress! I got it half off at Anthropologie, a while back, but it was too nice to drench in sweat at the swap meet. Wore it today out with hubs to take advantage of some free museums in the area, and I'll wear it out to dinner with a long-lost high school friend and his GF later tonight.

For now, it's off to the pool, because WOW, it is still way too hot to function in the apartment... I can't believe the city pool will not be operating after this Monday. How else can I work out without sweating?? I guess we will have to drive to the next town over and use their year-round indoor pool... :)

    I love this on you! (And I agree - I work at home with no A/C and I'm ready for this summer to be done!)

    SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • Jonesy replied 11 years ago

    You look glorious in this--like the picture of summer! So sorry for you living without A/C.

  • Aida replied 11 years ago

    How perfect is this color for you! So cute :D

    (I'm glad I don't live somewhere that requires AC, like, ever -_- )

    I love this frock on you, Rae! That apple green is a favourite shade of mine.

    Happy swimming in the next pool :)

    Wow, what a great dress! It looks great on you. I think Houston is the a/c capital of the u.s. no way could I make it without my a/c! Hope it cools down for you.

    That green is really great on you. While I am not ready for summer to end, ( how I hate winter!) I really feel for you not having A/C!

    Very nice! I'm eating my words about this dress being too cutesy for you. *nom nom*

    I'm seeing a more feminine trend in your outfits lately - is that just summer or a new style leaning?

  • Jaime replied 11 years ago

    The color and print are gorgeous on you.

  • sarah replied 11 years ago

    What a great summery summer dress! You look fresh and cool, despite the heat!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    So fab on you Rae - what a gorgeous colour! Stay cool!

  • Ana replied 11 years ago

    What a cool dress! You look great, Rae.

  • christy replied 11 years ago

    Such a great dress - and what a fabulous color on you!

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    Yay, I'm glad you like the dress! I threw my Diesel denim jacket over it for sushi tonight and was very happy with it.

    Una, I have definitely been wearing a lot more dresses because of the heat! I am feeling starved for my jeans and boots and jackets, so at least at first I think I will be going very masculine when it cools down. I am enjoying the more feminine looks right now, though, so I am not ruling it out!

    Amazing color on you Rae! And gorgeous dress:)

  • ElleH replied 11 years ago

    This dress & color looks good on you!

I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
