Sweet Tea

Happy weekend everyone! I hope yours is going well. I've had a busy day that started with a nice yoga class and ended with a delicious southern dinner and homemade chocolate mouse:) Dinner came from Miss Delta. They have the best sweet tea ever - it's super sweet, just how I like it. I think sweet tea is mostly a southern thing (very popular in NC, where I grew up). It's difficult to find here in Portland, but Miss Delta does it right.

This is an older Anthro (Floreat) dress. I don't know the name of it or when it came out. I bought it from a sweet friend and I LOVE it. It is comfortable, flattering, and has lots of gorgeous details.

Mmmmm, sweet tea!















Dress: Anthropologie
Shoes: Dansko

    I love it when drinks are served in such cute glasses. I recently went to a burger joint that did that. I love the bakc detailing on your mystery dress.

    Hi Kristin,

    You're wearing the Bud-To-Bloom Dress. I love my tea super sweet too. But it's got to have a lot of Lemon. You look so sweet sitting in Miss Delta's.

    You just reminded me how much I miss sweet tea! (We used to live in Georgia.) I love the pleating on that dress.

    I was thinking the same thing- the decorative linework in your tattoo looks amazing against these neutral colours. I love the dark straps and the back buttons.
    The dramatic sunlight in the third photo is incredible!

    Awe, I adore the Bud to Bloom dress, and it looks amazing on you! I owned it once and sold it, unfortunately. The buttons on the back are so cute. I like the black in the dress highlighted with your black shoes. This simple styling is perfect and lets your tattoos become the main accessory. LOVE!

    Those buttons at the back of your dress are adorable, and the shape of the dress flatters your body.

    Love that dress! The attention to detail is really fantastic on Anthro's older dresses.

    Also I adore sweet tea! It so reminds me of summers at my grandma's house when I was a kid. :)
