Closet Confections: Blossom Dearie

I took my favorite little dress for another spin this weekend on a walk through the arboretum with my hubby. I adore this dress 1. it has poppies blooming along the hemline and 2. it's so bright it's like wearing cotton spun with sunshine. 

It was a beautiful June day, with love floating in on the soft breeze. There were two weddings nestled in my favorite nook of nature here in the city, and the mood was truly infectious. How can one help but feel tres romantique while wandering beneath the trees, listening to couples whisper their true heart's yearnings? Le sigh.

only different kinds of good weather."
