we spent memorial day weekend in the woods of pennsylvania. we rented a house, grilled out, went swimming and did some hiking. there was no need to get dressed up at all. we got back into brooklyn early enough to make it to our friend’s bbq and i thought i’d throw on this dress. josh got it for me for my birthday last month. i sent him links to about six or seven dresses i liked. he chose quite well i must say. last month my dad turned 65 and i turned 31, we thought it would be fun to gather the entire family and get out of town and celebrate together. we had some great family time. i enjoyed eating all our meals together out on the deck and listening to my parents tell funny stories. my niece and nephews transformed and adapted quickly from city kids to country kids. they never grew tired of pointing out all the deer, little frogs and chipmunks. can’t wait to do it again next year.

aww! what a fun dress! totally love it. spending time in the woods of PA sounds really fun
That’s a lovely dress, and very you. I’ve never thought of sending Albert multiple links before (have occasionally sent hint hint individual links when I’m feeling particularly poor)
Your memorial day sounds wonderful. I’m a complete city girl, but it’s wonderful to escape into the woods (in nice weather) with family to tell stories, eat, and listen to the sounds of nature…
Your dress is fantastic. The print is lovely and it pops beautifully against your skin tone.
your dress is stunning on you! love it.
sounds like such a wonderful weekend. family, food and laughs always makes for a perfect weekend.
and i remember when we would go to the country when we were younger, we were so excited to point out all the animals too. great memories!
your weekend away sounds like pure HEAVEN! we are going on a short trip like that in a couple of weeks. i cant wait. that dress is beautiful on you!!! i love the cut like a 40′s style dress but way more modern and hip! the pattern is simple amazing and yellow looks really great on you! i love hearing how much you spend time with your family and your relationship with your dad.
