Happy Monday, all!
Yesterday, I wore this pretty purple maxidress to church. It's made of a really soft, drapey material, and I love how the fabric flares over the cinched waistband. Paired with tall nude peep-toes, it's more dressy than casual, but still simple in the overall feel.
Taking outfit pictures is not always easy on Sundays, due to church and taekwondo practice and trying to take extra time to rest, but I really liked this outfit and wanted to make sure I shared it with you guys.
This picture really shows off the shoes (pause for closer inspection) and the bracelet, which I made with my grandmother last year during a trip back to Tennessee :)
I'm really loving the song "Emily (It's Love)" by Francesca Battistelli featuring Dave Barnes. Here are some of the lyrics:
Emily, you will see some stormy weather
Dark and cloudy days of rain (days of rain)
But Emily, there will be summer laughter
'Cause everybody knows the seasons change
Circumstances can change your mind
And time will help you see
It's love that hung the moon and stars for you above
And stays awake to start the morning
When you feel you've had enough
He's never given up, it's love
Emily, you will see some stormy weather
Dark and cloudy days of rain (days of rain)
But Emily, there will be summer laughter
'Cause everybody knows the seasons change
Circumstances can change your mind
And time will help you see
It's love that hung the moon and stars for you above
And stays awake to start the morning
When you feel you've had enough
He's never given up, it's love
I hope this will prompt you to check out the song for yourself and let me know what you think! Also, how would you style my dress? I look forward to hearing from you...
xoxo,
Ireland

Hey Ireland Rhea! I nominated you for the Beautiful Blogger Award! http://keepcalmandsparkle1099.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-beautiful-blogger-award.html
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Khloe!!! I plan to participate :)
DeleteLove your dress! I would style it with some glittery polish or a really big, fun ring, maybe in gold -since purple and gold are opposite the color wheel they go fab together!
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful. Keep up the blog, its so fun!
Thank you!! :) Blogging is new and fun for me.
DeleteMy mom has a purple cocktail ring that I *almost* wore with this outfit... maybe next time. Thanks for the tip about purple and gold, too.
I love your outfit! And I also know the Francesca Battistelli song, 'It's Love.' I have the whole album! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tera! It's such a great album. I love the title track too :)
