  2. Love it! Oh so many places and ways to wear it! I'm thinking it would be perfect with a navy blazer, tights, and my patent leather mary jane heels to close my next sales deal in Cali; or hanging out in Kansas with my new red cowboy boots and rugged hat; or pack it up for our next big trip to the Mediterranean or Pacific next year paired with some gold sandals, big sunglasses, and turquoise jewelry! Love the versatility and being introduced to this great new line.

  3. This dress is precious, and follows my one simple rule: thou must ruffle. I would pair it with some brightly colored spring-ish wedges and a bold cuff bracelet to mix a little bit of sassy with sweet. My husband and I are whisking off to Cabo San Lucas in April and this would be the PERFECT dress for such an adventure:)

Thinking i'll pair it with my calypso clutch, vintage braided leather sandals and gold chain bracelet. Love this. Thanks for sharing!

  8. Gorgeous! I'm going to San Francisco in April to run a half marathon and then spend some time exploring and relaxing. After wearing running shoes and a tshirt for the first half of the trip, I'll be ready to put on something much more fun ... Like this!
