Cloudy Skies + Stars

dress: anthropologie, blazer: old navy, shoes: modcloth

Even thought there were cloudy skies yesterday, it was still hot; so I turned to my wardrobe favorite to keep me happy. Dress + blazer = instant outfit pulled together-ness. This is me turning the street in front of my parents house into a runway. Oh yes, I put on quite a show for all the runners in their neighborhood. And my boyfriend and I felt like Wayne and Garth every time we heard a car coming down the street. "Car! Photoshoot on."

A Darling Dress

When I saw An Education two years ago, not only did I fall in love with Carey Mulligan, I fell in love with the dress she's wearing in this picture. It reminded me of my favorite Monet painting, and the cut and style were right up my alley. I could never find it online after the movie came out, or anything similar, and that always bummed me out. So imagine my delight when I found a this amazing substitution for it on ModCloth today! It's from their newly featured London line called Darling. Darling's vintage inspired clothes full of frills, prints, and embellishments have me wanting many of their pieces. Check out the entire line here while I try to justify buying this dress!
