Homegrown

Thank you all so much for all of the sweet and supportive comments on my last post regarding my brother. He is doing great! He is healing well and is in good spirits. His skin graft surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. The next couple of weeks will be rough for him, but his doctor feels like he will be 100% healed in another 5 weeks or so, if everything goes well. I am so happy, relieved, and thankful that he is doing so well!

I wore this outfit last weekend to a baby shower. I was excited to pull this dress out for the first time this year!













Dress: Anthropologie Homegrown Dress
Cardigan: Anthropologie Abuzz Cardigan
Shoes: Anthropologie
Bobby Pins: Honey Bee Bobby Pins

You can't see them in the photos, but I have these cute little pins in my hair. As most of you know, I LOVE bees and when I saw these bobby pins I knew I had to have them:) Aren't they perfect with the Abuzz cardigan?


Hope you all are having a great weekend!

    OMG, I'm so sorry about your brother's accident. That is terrible and I hope he fully recovers soon. (When I couldn't log in to Blogger it was really difficult for me to read the blogs I follow, so I missed a lot!) On a happier note, I love that dress and the bobbies are perfect with your sweater.

    Such great news about your brother! continued best wishes to him as he goes through the grafting and recovery. my husband works strictly with burn patients, so i realize the gravity of what he must endure. Your outfit is spectacular! What a perfect summery baby shower outfit. But those bee hair pins....I die form their cuteness! Where oh where did you pick those up?!

    Thanks so much ladies! This dress makes me happy, as does the cardi and bee pins:) My brother had a great weekend. He is in good spirits and he was able to get a lot of rest. Skin graft surgery is tomorrow, please keep him in your thoughts.

    Molly - I admire your husband for working with burn patients. I'm sure it is a very intense job. I feel so lucky that my brother will make a full recovery very soon. Here is where I got the bee pins: http://www.etsy.com/listing/70041701/honey-bee-bobby-pins

    Nothing better to combat a worried mindset than a cheerful and lovely outfit! You look so great in these bright colors. I am so sorry to hear about your brother, but I'm glad he's doing better.

    I'm coming to Portland next week...you are still wearing tights! I should pack for cool weather, huh??

    Sorry to hear that your brother had an accident and I am glad he is recovering. This outfit is so cheerful and bright. I have exact the same items, I will have to copy it one day. That reminds me I need to take my spring dress out.

    What a lovely outfit. The bee bobby pins are too cute for words. You're dress is so pretty, it looks like a field of flowers.

    OK! I want those Bee Bobbies for my ring and clutch. Actually they match my Bee Necklace perfectly.

    The Yellow Abuzz and the Homegrown Dress are a match made in heaven. Just when I thought you had the perfect combo, I noticed the Bouquet of Roses Heels thrown in for a Trio. Your Spring colors fill your house with Sunshine.

    I said a healing prayer for your Brother. The same one I said everyday when my Mother had Cancer. It's beautiful!

    This is definitely one of my all-time favorite Anthro dresses. It was my birthday dress from last year and is so special to me! It was also the start of my Anthro obsession :)
