I think this might be my current favorite dress. It fits like a glove and I love the funky, south western print. I’m 99.9% sure it’s handmade from the 1960′s or 70′s, making it all the more special. I think it will look great in the fall too, with some tights, boots and a cardigan.
Not going to lie, I get a lot of compliments on it when I wear it. Not from Ross however. He hates it. His reaction was, and I quote, “It’s too New Mexico-y.” Right, I guess that’s a problem? I always enjoy hearing his responses to my outfits. If he had his way I would wear nothing but jeans and t-shirts, but I say nay Ross, nay!
These photos were taken at one of the beaches by our house. I think the contrast of the very un-New England print against the quintessentially Maine background is sort of fun. It was a cool, overcast evening which was a nice break from a hot and sunny day. Franklin scampered around on the rocks and got himself thoroughly muddy and tired. Happy puppy.
Speaking of Ross, this is him. I don’t believe he’s had any appearances on the blog yet, except for his tattoo. Erg, that Ross is so darn photogenic. I hate him. I very rarely like a photo of myself, but every single shot of Ross is flattering. Stupid boy. But, he’s cute and relatively nice to me so I keep him around. He also doesn’t read my blog as much as he should, so I can say anything I want on here! Haha – this is my chance to get even. Ok fine, I’ll be nice. He’s mah’ dude.

I am totally with you – this dress is so cool, and so unique! Haha boys are so funny in their responses to what we wear (like your romper, too!). It’s fun to hear what your fiance says b/c he sounds just like my husband! You two are so cute
Great dress!!!
Matt’s the same way, he gets very confused when I make him watch Project Runway….lol
ross is way wrong, i love that dress! and i am jealous that you have a ll bean signature bag- i love some of their stuff. esp. that lobster buoy print wrap dress. you should get it, and then you’d match your bf’s tattoo.
great snaps and that is one seriously awesome dress! Love!
