I finally got some highlights!!  I haven't had highlights for ten years and thought this summer was the perfect time to take the plunge!  The two times I have tried to do my own highlights just left me with orange streaks.  No more!  This will be a summer look at the least, though I am loving my brighter 'do.


I've been waiting since March to wear this dress.  Not only did we finally have decent enough weather (and by "decent enough" I mean it hasn't been raining 24/7), but it was a great choice for sitting in a salon chair for two hours and running countless errands after.  It is a very simple style reminiscent of something I wore in middle school, but I love that ease of wear for laid-back days running around town.  The material is a really stretchy jersey fabric that is soft and swingy.  The neckline is very wide, but still accommodates a regular bra.

I did buy this in the longer length, even though it wasn't much longer than the shorter version.  If you are under 5'9" you probably want to opt for the shorter style.  This was almost too long for the look I wanted.  Rounding out my simple ensemble were my old glitter flats and my awesome Betsey necklace. 

Overall, I really loved this and look forward to this style of dress in more fun patterns.  It is super comfortable and can definitely transition between seasons with added accessories.
