Get the Look

As requested I'm going to continue the "get the look" posts every saturday. It reminds me of what I used to do on my blog after I first started it. And I'm always looking for outfits to re-create so PLEASE send them to the e-mail on my profile. Also if you're looking for something specific let me know. I have no life so I would love to help you find what you're looking for.

Why does this look work? The simple lines of the dress balance out the bold accessories. Its a great look for summer!

Key Elements to this look: simple shirtwaist dress, bold yet simple straw hat, fun jewelry, short gloves and a handbag with a bamboo handle.
