I sure hope you get some hot weather that will allow you to go jacketless in this dress, 'cause as cute as it is with your very cool denim jacket, you look smashing in this dress without it! Great sandals, and the bag is great. At least four of my own, most used clutches are made by Urban Expressions( and via TJ Maxx, ditto.) Great minds, etc! They are among the only ones I've been able to find that will hold my Kindle Fire and anything else. That's my criterion for a good clutch, or at least the first one.<br />Pretty you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630135395645059302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-88541535950489761202014-05-06T21:46:39.851-07:002014-05-06T21:46:39.851-07:00Thank you so very much, Sophia!Thank you so very much, Sophia!Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-29076954317269018942014-05-06T21:46:23.958-07:002014-05-06T21:46:23.958-07:00Soo nice of you to stop by and say such warm words...Soo nice of you to stop by and say such warm words, Patti!

It makes me happy to open my closet every time now - so colorful. :)<br /><br />I grew up in the USSR, and Ikat has a very strong association with dresses of Uzbek women (a republic of former USSR). Uzbekistan has a great reputation for this type of dying fabric, and some gorgeous examples are in world museums... So it is a little nostalgic to me too. :) Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-3849283963361542422014-05-04T11:28:47.277-07:002014-05-04T11:28:47.277-07:00Thank you, Sacramento!

I told you that I was never a fan before. These wedges also come in orange, and I would typically go for orange, but I was really drawn to this blue! :) It's probably safe to say that they are my first blue shoes ever, :)<br /><br />I don't think I've tried red snapper, but halibut is delicious. And especially in a good company, like your folks! :) Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-12710060852826017372014-05-04T11:16:31.336-07:002014-05-04T11:16:31.336-07:00I totally understand about "no internet time&...I totally understand about "no internet time", I am glad that you have rested and now are back with us - I missed you! :)<br /><br />So happy to hear that you liked the dress.

You look stunning and yes, a cropped denim jacket is the perfect accompaniment (says the woman who bought one from a jumble sale 3 months ago and still hasn't had it on her back!)

The dress looks perfect on you, with and without the jacket. I just finished reorganizing my closet (an all-day affair because I have to try everything on!) and my denim staples are right up front. I agree, they're great for dressing down an outfit in just the right way.

Thanks for th...Hurray for denim jacket inspiration! Thanks for the mention, Natalia - I do think that a denim jacket, in the right cut and shade, is something you will wear a lot, and as you have shown here, it tones down a dressy piece so you feel more comfortable to wear it. The colours and shape of the dress are so flattering on you, you look like a voluptuous goddess! Of course you can wear the dress without anything over the top, and I am really impressed with the clutch, your gorgeous ring, and the sandals. <br />Fish and chips for me every time! xxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-3576052702880456902014-05-03T10:16:23.531-07:002014-05-03T10:16:23.531-07:00Your oufit is gorgeous and I love love love it!

I love little denim jackets with dresses and that is how I usually wear mine, in summer with a dress. I love the shoes and that is exactly the colour I am searching for right now. It's sort of a denim blue. <br /><br />What a lovely lunch date. Lunch dates were one of the things my ex husband did right. LOL and I used to enjoy ours. Now I have them with my parents and enjoy those too. Halibut is one of my favourite fish to eat, and also red snapper. I am very hungry now, looking at that food!<br />xoShawna McComberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296162660865309624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-4660918651703250772014-05-03T09:31:18.442-07:002014-05-03T09:31:18.442-07:00this dress is a dream!!!!!
