I first tried on this beauty at grey dog a few weeks ago, I tried to resist but soon $ was burning a hole in my pocket and forced me back in the shop. Now, I’m so glad I went. What would my wardrobe have been without this adorable tropicana confection? It’s a vacation in dress form.

This dress can be worn like so with a low back or turned around an worn low cut in the front with an exposed zipper. It’s multifunctional!

There is a lovely local designer in NWA called Leslie Pennel, her line is esque. I was lucky enough to pick up the above (what I thought was a) skirt from her line at Cheap Thrills.
I loved it as a skirt and while I am typically good at seeing the many ways one item can be worn, it was lost on me. The designer was nice enough to enlighten me to it’s many uses, which I utilized at the beach. If nothing else, it’s a reminder that we can wear the things in our closets in so many different ways.

Sometimes an outfit centers around earrings or shoes or any accessory. This one centered around this amazing belt.
Also I made chicken enchiladas last night and they were super easy and very yummy. I used this recipe and added black beans, salsa & cilantro.

I love this dress. It’s flattering, it can be casual or dressy and it’s work appropriate, but still a little sexy. It’s also happy – there are literally giant hydrangeas on the fabric. Don’t you love it when you find a dress that is versatile, fun and also you?
