Apparently in another life I was a mountain goat. I can’t think of any other reason why I’d clamber up a rocky wall in a dress and 5” heels. I wear this incredibly soft and comfortable, richly-hued dress a lot. Yet it’s only shown up on the blog once before, when I wore it with a pearl necklace and polka dot short-sleeve blazer (here).
This time I choose equally vivid accessories, including an eye-popping statement necklace I can’t wait to wear into fall/winter. One recent Sunday morning, I was having coffee with an old friend in a little cobblestone courtyard in Ottawa’s historic district where I live when I spotted my parents going by on their usual weekend bike ride. My mom had a bag in hand. It turns out she had stopped at a sample sale at a boutique next door and bought me two necklaces for $5 each, including this one, and a sweet floral tank with a braided neckline. How sweet! She encouraged me to swing by myself after our coffee. I found a pair of sky-high red suede peep-toe pumps for $20 and a cool tee for B…all before the rest of the stores even opened for business!

Those shoes are amazing. WANT. Love them with the navy dress.
ReplyDeletelol at the mountain goat comment, the first thing I thought when i saw this post was how awesome the pic looked because you were on a rock shelf! This dress is a great colour, you look very polished & sophisticated!
ReplyDeleteYou must be part mountain goat, to have gotten up there in those (fabulous) heels, I am seriously impressed! This necklace is amazing, its so big and chunky, but I like the floral hints in it, with the flower inspired shapes. And that dress looks stunning on you.
