details.

good morning!  i wouldn't normally do more than one outfit post in the same week with the same dress, but when i showed you this dress on monday, i didn't get to show you the best part of it - the details!  it was hot like an armpit when i wore it sans sweater, which means the best part wasn't covered up...





 dress: c/o oasap // belt: old navy // necklace: vintage, thrifted // shoes: payless

i love that there are buttons up the back, but my favorite things about this dress is that there are pockets (why don't more dresses have pockets?), and that the top half and over the shoulders is sheer; so pretty.

moving on, i have good news, at least for me!  my toes are no longer broken, and my leg is healed up (running injury) which means I'M ABLE TO RUN AGAIN!!!  i'm so excited about it that i want to run every single day!  it's hard to tell myself to take it slow and not run too often because that runner's high is addictive, but i'm going to be smart about it...i think.

  1. It's a super cute dress and this might be a TMI question - do you wear a strapless bra with it?

  2. This dress looks so different without the sweater! I love the shoulder detailing and the buttons. It was like this dress was designed with you in mind. And I am loving the changes on your blog. Super cute girl!

  5. Amen to dresses and pockets! Every dress should have pockets! But more importantly, I'm so glad you're healthy enough to run again! Exercise is so important! I don't sleep well unless I've been active!

  8. Very pretty! I always love a dress with pretty details on the back :) Pockets are definitely a big selling point for me though, and by that I mean when I beg my mister to buy me a dress, the only way I can convince him is if I say it has pockets (I don't carry a purse most days and like making him carry my things in his pockets. Why else would guys pockets be so big??)
    Yay for not broken toes! :D

  10. I think all dresses should have pockets. Of course, whenever I have a dress with pockets I always overload the pockets with too many things - basically, I turn my dress pockets into mini purses :)

    That's a pretty dress in general, but I think the back is the prettiest part! The buttons and the sheer bit are adorable.

  16. Those cheekbones! You look stunning (as per usual)
    and t-strap shoes are my weakness...
    also your hair is growing!!! (still have your hair-cut fresh in my kind so I took notice of the length added already!)

    xoxo!

  17. That dress is adorable! I love the back! And yes, you're right--pretty much every dress made should come complete with pockets. I saw a tutorial for an easy add-pockets-to-any-dress craft and it was pure genius!
