safe landing.

after yesterday's bright colors,
i toned it down and came back to neutrals. 
this dress incorporates evvrything feminine...
lace, florals, and chiffon-y ruffles.
balanced with something slightly more masculine,
like this military jacket, 
i feel girly but not over the top.
this has brought me safely back to my comfort zone.
(gilie frilly dress, available at oomph; jacket, old navy)

    Lace, florals and ruffles are always an amazing combination. Love it with the more masculine jacket.

    Loooove the ruffled bottom of this dress! Such a sweet touch to the floral pattern. Love that you toughened it up a bit with the animal print belt and the platforms!
