On Sunday morning, we woke up and made brunch before heading out for Sunday errands. Tucker was happy to run around and soak up the sun whereas everyone else wanted to stay inside with the AC blasting. It was literally the hottest weekend of my life. In the afternoon, my mom and I decided to catch up over a day of shopping. We've both been entertaining a lot so it was nice to finally have some time to ourselves.

While shopping, I caught a glimpse of my floaty floral dress in the mirror and mentioned to my mom how painstaking it is for me to wear prints. Since I love mixing and matching, I'm much more comfortable color blocking and playing with solid colors. Prints, on the other hand, are somewhat of an uncharted territory. "You are your grandmother," she said.

It makes me happy to know I've managed to embody at least some of my grandmother's style and class. She, along with my mother, have taught me to love my curves, my mixed European heritage and my naturally wavy locks (summer au natural at its best). The key is loving the girl you were made to be.
Katie!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog - it's incredible and serves as great fashion inspiration.
I was so happy to see this dress! I bought it at the beginning of summer. Prints are a struggle for me too, but I think this dress is great. So lightweight and I love the sleeves. If you have the energy to comb through Forever 21 and deal with the masses, you can find some great steals!
Thanks, Lizzie! You're too sweet. And I agree. Forever 21 is completely about patience!
