Creature From The Deep Blue

This dress has become one of my favorites items to just throw on and walk out the door. Some people would consider it a bit fancy for everyday wear, but I'm drawn to how comfortable it feels on and the classic shape. Separates that seem more casual often require require more effort than their onepiece "fancy" counterparts. With sandals and a tote bag, I think it's dressed-down enough for a day by the water.

I love how the fleur de lis also contributes to a slight royal feeling without losing the casual vibe.

It's such a great piece.

And it's even more fun that you paired it with a Tumblr Tote.:)

I agree, things that are casual sometimes require much more thought. I too like to wear my 'fancy' things everyday. Even if I'm only bumming around the house with Baby! I want to inspire her!

Love the dress and the sandals!

On a totally off-topic note: while I was waiting for your page to load, I saw your background as a 3-D image. I wonder what was in my morning cereal... :D

In terms of comfort and easiness, one piece looks or dresses will always win! Never understood the idea that separates are automatically more casual. I've never understood jeans either. I mean, I love them, but I've never understood why people say they're comfortable- they are not comfortable.

Lovely as always.

This is such a lovely photoshoot, Rebecca. Just gorgeous! I couldn't have imagined that dress as something for the beach, but it certainly works.

Lovely pictures. Especially the first one, so cinematographic! You look like a heroine from an atmospheric black and white movie. :)

I agree that dresses are so much simpler and more comfortable than more causal multi-piece outfits. All you have to do is add shoes and you are pretty much done - what could be simpler?

Meanz said...

I love your outfit, and your dress is adorable. Ever since I've seen your gifs, they've inspired me to do my own! :) I love this out, it's so peaceful.
