Peasant Girl

Gap dress and cardigan, Michael Antonio wedges, Francesca's earrings,
F21 bangles

Last week my husband treated me to a massage at a spa down at the boardwalk. I haven't had a massage in five years, so this one was greatly appreciated. When I finished, I decided to take a stroll down the boardwalk and check out some of the shops. I picked up this cute little maxi and cardigan (on sale!) and just couldn't wait to wear it.  

The dress has a peasant feel to it and I think it is because of the tacked on ruffle at the bottom of the dress. Oh, and by the way, these are the pictures we took AFTER I noticed I still had the giant store sticker denoting the size, down the front of my cardigan. Oh boy.

    So you got a massage AND found 2 pieces on sale - which are gorgeous might I add? I call that a VERY successful day :) So lovely to hear your husband did that for you, you look lovely.

    haha! My first thought was also that you looked a bit out-of-this-time, peasant girl is exactly right. You look really cute :)

    Amy - beautiful dress! And I can't stop laughing as I type this, because you made me realize I have tag hanging out of the back of my shirt as I sit here in the conference room. Great.day. :) (Just tore it off, thanks). :)

      OH no! That is too funny. I'm usually so good about looking in the mirror before I leave to catch those types of things. Not this time though!

    I love that maxi dress--the ruffle detailing is so pretty! If it makes you feel any better, I left the tag on a new blazer accidentally and then wore it out. I think stuff like that happens to everyone :)
