Dress Week: Navy, White + Red Stripes for me and Pink Stars for Vivian.

Another day, another dress!! It is Wednesday, technically the middle of the week but because of the 4th of July the longer weekend seems closer than ever. Speaking of the 4th of July, today's look is 100% Patriotic and Nautical. My 3rd Dress for the week combines Nautical Stripes just like Monday, and the Colors Red, White + Blue like Tuesday. This Outfit is perfect for a Fun Outdoors 4th of July Party. Slightly Dressy yet very Casual. So far this is My Most Favorite Look this week but I think I saved the best for last so stay tuned on July 4th for that day's Dress!

So this Dress is Casual yet can totally be dressed up with Heels, a Fancy Clutch and a Statement Necklace for a Summer Wedding. After all it has a Feminine, Sexy Open Back. My first time wearing this Dress was to a Summer Party/turned Engagement Party that a couple of our Friends threw together. He proposed there to the love of his life (all of their family members knew about it she and us the friends of course had no clue) and it was beautiful. It was all captured on film and camera, too. They had rented the veranda over-looking the pool of a restaurant-bar which is a real nice place. But since I knew it was a Summer Party by a Pool I thought pairing the Dress with Wedges was the smart thing to do. My first pattern-mixing was wearing Stripes both on the Dress (Navy+White) and on the Shoes (Red+White). Then I added a Navy Sunhat which has a Burlap Bow that was Navy with White Polka Dots, adding a third pattern into the mix. However there are only 3 colors on this Outfit unless you count the Fuchsia Lipstick and matching Bracelet. I kept my Jewelry simple and added the most Dainty Necklace featuring 2 Floating Pearls and a Floating Gold Bead. The Dress, Shoes and Hat each made a big impact on their own. While my Bag matched the Shoes perfectly. Vivian has her own Cute Patriotic Ensemble in White and Baby Pink. Her Ruffled Romper has Cute Little Stars and an Elephant. As you will see from her photos, I am capturing her in the motion. She is moving/walking/running every second. She loves squeezing into small places and hiding. I cannot believe in a little over 2 weeks, my baby girl will be a year and a half. Time FLIES!! What do you think? Do you like this Dress? I really want to hear your thoughts on how you would style it. Thanks. =)
