Down South
I am in balmy Atlanta, GA right now and enjoying the weather, but not the mosquitoes. It is very humid, but a pleasant break from the fall we were beginning to experience in Washington State (I don't like cold temperatures). I've been dressing very simply and my sister has been kind enough to snap a few outfit shots for me.

The dress you got in the swap is absolutely stunning. I'm not sure I would have been able to give it up.
my goodness! both dresses are beautiful!
i adore both looks on you. you have a way of making everything look so good! i know i've told you before but i'm gonna tell you again, i love your diy bow belt. the material and size are just perfect.
Your white and pink floral dress is really lovely, it reminds me of my favorite movie "Sense and Sensibility". It has a Victorian feel to it. I was wondering why didn't you wear a pair of white or silver ballerina shoes with it. Oh, I think it would go well with white tights.
You look perfect! I love the south!
Oh oh, I heart your white dress, very sweet! :D
cool! I like the white dress with the flowers.
I love that bare legs quote at the end haha
have fun in Georgia - I really liked Atlanta the last time I was there. There are some really cool spots.
Both of your dresses are gorgeous! I'm sheerly jealous of the bow belt, *hint* tutorial needed *hint* :D
xxxx
hahahaha i loved that last bit, so true and funny. maybe its cause you do live in washington but considering how i am living in la, i barely get to experience cold weather so i LOVE IT!! but yeah wearing dresses and whatnot is better and cuter! hehe
I'm sorry, where is that quote from? Please!
Also, I love your second dress! (And great picture with the tree!)
Velvet bow = happiness.
You dress so adorably! Have fun enjoying my humid hometown :)

I love the second dress so much. It has a very young and romantic feel about it. Reminds me of vintage Laura Ashley prints. So beautiful!

I could never pull off that bow sash like you do!
That is such a gorgeous, sweet dress. I love it on you!
what a cute idea to dress swap! You look so adorable!
you look great. Oh how I love the South...
@Anonymous 10:29; well, I don't own white ballet shoes or plain silver ones either. Also, I'm living out of suitcase for a week, so brown flats that go with everything were what I packed. And I also don't own white tights, but I don't think I would wear them with a white dress. Too Lolita for me.
@Anonymous 11:13 AM; it's from a newspaper article from the 90s. My sister found it in a library archive and copied it for me, but I don't know what paper or the exact year.
lovely dresses! I'm loving your belt!
sometimes i'm a little critical when i see girls walking around bare legged in fifty degree weather ... that quote makes me feel like a biatch! lol.
I love your blog, I love all your dresses ! Your style is so perfect... never stop it !
I'm tooo bad in english to say all I want to say but the idea is here !

Your belt is sooo nice that when i saw it i wanted a go at making my own!its not exactly the same but similar so i wanted to ask you if i could post pics on my blog first as it might be kinda copyrighted? i dunno. Let me know hey :) and they dress loverly... i like how the lace goes.x
Lovely velvet bow belt! Such a terrific idea of yours! Very pretty shots!
I love that first dress! It looks as if it was made for you!
You look lovely as always! Hah, I love the quote at the end too
love your DIY-bow. tres gorgeous!
You look beautiful! Welcome to the South. I hope you enjoy your time here!
I love that second dress a lot!
I like the dress with the brown flats. I think they work well. Silver or white shoes would be "too much" or maybe too pretty. I don't know. Too something!
I have a pair of light brown flats I wear with everything. So I like to think brown flats go well with many things. (Mostly I wear them with everything because shoes never fit me--and they do).
I love the last dress, it's so sweet, especially the lace around the sleeves, collar, and hem.
You little girl from the fairy tale! Both outfits are great (:
Peace and love!
Your second dress is utterly romantic and timeless. The pastel colors, the ribbon, and the collar make it breathtaking. LOVE IT.
Love the second outfit.
Have fun girl :-*
Washington to Atlanta is a big jump! :P But I'm just the opposite, I love cold weather and hate the humidity :)
Yay, I have an opportunity to say "Hotlanta."
I love fall and am a big fan of cool temperatures, but today I would have appreciated being transported down south! We had such a weird summer here that I didn't quite get my fill of the smothering heat. Haha, anyway, I think this green H&M dress looks adorable with your self made bow belt :)
Love the prints on the first dress! So beautiful and feminine =) Your sis and you have an amazing relationship!
I've never been to the south, but I'd love to go. its so cool how your family is in so many different places of country
hmm maybe I should take a day off from shaving and let my new bruises from sailing show haha
I've seen this dress on your blog before, and I loved it so much, I went to h&m 3 times searching for it! I finally got it on the last trip. :o)
i just love your white dress. it is seriously gorgeous. and how lucky you are to see your sister! i'm actually the opposite of you - i hate balmy weather, and love me some crisp autumn! enjoy your little family vacation!
I love the bow-belt!!!You look always so cute!
My sister is who always take me the outfitt pictures!

xx
The second dress is beautiful, I adore the floral print & the soft colors, a dress-swap is such a good idea :)
SUCH a perfect velvet touch to the dress

I love that bow belt.
And I'm in love with that flower dress.
Kisses!
I absolutely adore your taste in dresses! You always find the prettiest ones.
And ha I love the quote at the end. While I'm all for bare legs--at least make sure you've properly prepped them!
PS I'm so jealous you get to travel so much!!
welcome to gerogia!!! i am actually leaving tomorrow, i was home for fall break this weekend :)
Though I cannot take the cold, I do wish for winter, only for the reason that I can dress up in different attires! Once again, I totally love your flora prints dress!
The detailing on the floral dress is gorgeous.
The last dress is possibly the most gorgeous dress I have ever seen.

I especially love the white dress! It's so dreamy and romantic!!!
the green dress is charming, especially with the velvet bow. your blog is fast becoming a favorite!

what a great belt!
i would trade hot & humid for cold anyday, but then again, i live in the south where it's more hot and humid than anything else.
We are in Atlanta now too! And then going to NYC in a couple of weeks and then back to LA.
Let us know if you have free time, we would love to profile you for our blog.
Happy travels !! :)
ARGG! the second dress you are wearing is ADORABLE. a great dress swap!! It's getting warmer here in New Zealand, I can't wait for summer!! :)
LOOOOOL at the bottom statement!!
i really like the white dress, it's very pretty
Both these dresses are total wins. But the first one, I have always loved. The watercolour-ish pattern and colour always gets to me!
Oh, both are so lovely!
Warm weather does sound nice! I love how similar the compositions of the pictures in both of these outfit shots are. I guess your sister is rather formulaic.
You look wonderful in both outfits!
Your dresses are beautiful ! And you are very pretty !
both those dresses are gorgeous, and i am in love with that bow!
xx

I love both dresses, but what instantly caught my attention was the bow belt. Great job!

Your dresses are beautiful and I love the delicate floral pattern on the second one!
Lovely outfits ;)
Saludos!
Amazing blog, love these outfits! xox
Like you came out of a fairy-tale, as always. That's what pretty clothes are all about anyway, right? Making our life more beautiful.
I'd love to take a better look of the collar detail on the white dress. Maybe next time?
love the belt that you made! how did you do it? was the fabric fairly inexpensive?
I'm in love with your bow belt :).
welcome to my neck of the woods! hope it's treating you well. loooove that second dress btw.
beautiful outfits! ^^
I couldn't agree more: cold is horrible! Holland's really not my spot.. I am by the way still utterly amazed over your homemade bow belt. And that swap? You got more than lucky!
LOL that quote is great. I love that big bow!
the detailing on the hem of the second dress is SO pretty. And of course your bow belt is gorgeous! How does it fasten?
oh, i do love the black rosette !!
très joli !
xo from Paris
just beautiful!
the outfit is beautiful!
I especially love the second dress!
How cute isn't that bow belt?
And it suits the dress perfectly!
You look like a little southern bell! I find it amusing that you think it's hot and humid because a lot of ATLiens are already complaining about the impending fall (and haven't you been rained all over??)
I like the first outfit.. its very refreshing..

i love the last dress, it's so pretty and feminine!
That quote. It's intriguing. Where is it from?
Still loving that self made bow, how does it fasten in the back? I'm gonna look thru the site and see if you've showed us before can't remember.
I love the white dress you got in the swap. It's so light and airy. You look refresheddd! :}
you look so pretty in that lovely vacation setting. i'm so impressed that you're able to do blog posts while on vacation. you're awesome. and where did you find that quote?
I just love the second dress. The print is so sweet.
I love all of your outfits choices!! You've given me inspiration to stop being lazy with my fashion choices. College has the ability to do that to you!! haha. I look forward to reading many more of your blogs in the future :)
I love your bow belt! Also, that floral swap dress is so feminine and pretty.

Love your second look, so adorable...

Such lovely prints.. I want that bow belt so bad.. it's the cutest!
Cute dress, I love the way you put your outfits together. Plus I love that quote at the end.
I love that H&M dress and that bow goes perfect with it! Lovely outfit.
Love the more romantic dress in the second outfit too!
I know like a thousand people have already commented on this post but that quote cracked me up. Made me think I need to edit my photos a little more carefully! xxx
I just did a blog post this morning about Atlanta!!!
http://emilypanda.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/what-to-do-what-to-eat-in-atlanta/
It's a great city, do you have any favorite restaurants or shops you frequent?
this H&M dress is really gorgeous. But I prefer it with a smaller belt.
