Feeling Summery In A Thrifted Tommy Bahama Dress

I took these photos last week and wanted to share them with you quickly. I am currently in New York City with a friend enjoying a girls’ weekend and then watching a full day of US Open tennis today. I love this new dress I thrifted not long ago and knew that the belt added the perfect finishing touch to cinch the dress around my waist and give it a bit more shape.

How cool is this bracelet I picked up on the way to work at a street fair in Chicago two weeks ago? The artist doesn’t maintain a bricks and mortar store or have a website, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to snag any more of her work. Maybe she’ll be back at that fair next time it comes around.

Although I like the dress with the yellow shoes to dress it up a bit and play off the yellow belt, I wore this on a three hour walk with The Little Guy so I slipped on some Toms for a good portion of the stroll. The canvas shoes make the dress a bit more casual. I also look forward to pairing the dress with a blazer to spice it up a bit and wear it to the office.

I’ll back back in Chicago soon and have some great transitional fall and remix posts coming later this week and next, so stop back soon! Happy Monday.
