Sorry to disappoint, but I did not continue my progression of style-by-decade with today's outfit. I have always thought it would be cool to take the high temperature each day and dress like it's that year. So, if the high is 73 degrees, go for an early '70s look. I don't know how feasible it would actually be, especially if the temperature didn't fluctuate much. Anyway... back to today's outfit.
I was dressed for work this morning in some unexciting ensemble when... "Ding Dong!" The super friendly UPS guy handed me a package containing this sweet chambray dress. I changed into it immediately, barely remembering to remove the tag before heading out the door.
I actually wore it with a cardigan and heels for work. What you see here is my simple, more casual version, which I donned to walk the dog and grab dinner this evening. Much like my polka dot frock, I see this dress as a blank canvas, so this is definitely not the last you'll see of it!

What a great idea! Though it would be a bit tough in Australia with celsius. We'd be stuck in the 1920's and 1930's most of the time.
i LOVE this dress on you, and the fabulous necklace and sandals. i can't get enough of the beautiful ways you put things together.

Thats a really cute idea. I feel like I would run out of 70s inspired outfits very fast though. That is if it ever stopped raining here.
I love the new dress. Very cute!

Good thing you remembered to remove the tag. That's something I rarely remember to do. Sometimes I have something for months, wear it constantly and then someone points out the price tag, and I try to explain that its not new blah blah blah, but everyone just roles their eyes. Pretty embarrassing. But I digress, you look amazing and this dress fits you perfectly. Consider me your newest fan.
Love love love this dress. So cute, yet versatile. Adorable. I would totally wear this dress.

That dress is so pretty! I love the color.
Such a pretty dress! Very sweet and summery. I love getting new dresses in the mail :)
Only you would think a dress that's fabulous by itself is a mere starting-point.
Adding that arresting necklace and the glasses was smart; I love how the white in the glasses picks up the color of the sandals.
your necklace is AMAZING HOLY CRAP
