You have such an incredible talent for pulling together combinations!!! This looks absolutely perfect, and I couldn’t have thought it up in a million years. I wish I had your eye. Maybe you can give us tips one day on how you do it!!

  Judy you are so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words :). I know…my posts are all pictures. I’m a visual person, so I work better seeing pictures and being inspired that way. I worry that I don’t have enough interesting things to say for every post 😛

OMG this dress is fantastic! How gorgeous! Also – top knot + blazer is always a winning combo. I have a lace “long top/dress” that I need to try something with- your outfit has inspired me!

xo!

Maddy, can you dress me? hehe. Next time I come to Chicago, I want to raid your closet 🙂 Seriously though, your style is truly unique and totally sets you apart from all the fashion bloggers that I know. Keep it up! I love the lace over your dress, it’s beautiful! Also, big congrats on making it to front page of Lucky!

I love the pattern on this dress, and the lace top on top is genius. I once had a blazer with trim like that, I’ll add this one to my wishlist.
