I'm so in love with this dress! I saw it on the DailyCandy's Swirl and I decided to think about it overnight but of course by morning the sale was over! grr hate when that happens! I contacted the company directly, who were super sweet, and they mailed me one from their store in Canada. It's called the Desert Print but it also kind of reminds me of tea parties! I'm excited to wear it more this summer.
Thank you everyone for your sweet comments about yesterday's post! I still can't believe Matthew gave me such an incredible surprise! It's a keepsake I'll always cherish-- forever and ever!
