This outfit is very similar to what I wore for Ivan's birthday party. I wanted to wear completely black and white to match the decorations but I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one who noticed that I had done that.
I recently got the idea to wear a tighter skirt underneath a shorter floaty dress to prevent any butt flashings. It makes me way less nervous and I'm abe to move around a lot easier without constantly holding down my skirt. I'm sure I didn't invent this idea but let's pretend I did, ok?
Ivan and I had a great weekend camping with Kaylah and Kevin and we ended up coming home with something we did not expect to! I'll share more on that later. Today I have 3 major "must-do, can't put it offs" on my list. Right now it's just a mental list so I better write that stuff down before I forget!

EDIT: Oh boy, I'm really not sure why the heck I can't remember to announce giveaway winners when I say I'm going to anymore! Well, the winner of the Missy's Portraits Giveaway is...Tyeler!
I went to a high school where we all had to wear uniforms. Most of the girls wore something under their kilts, like boxers, to keep from flashing everyone else during the everyday activities of bending down to get to your locker, etc. A tight skirt is a better idea - less bunchy!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing. I love those shoes!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is adorable!!! I love every single piece of it! Oh my gosh, a tight skirt under a dress or skirt, I'm giving you full credit of this idea and going to try it. I've worn boxers before but sometimes they are too bunchy. Oh I just noticed Colleen up there saying that. Okay, tight skirts here I come!

LOVE this outfit. And the idea for wearing a tighter skirt underneath s genius. I don't know why I've never thought of that. I'm always nervous while wearing flow-y skirts - You'll get all the credit in me book ;)
ReplyDelete- tianna :)
oh gosh, I am in love with your shoes!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit, you look great! Glad you had fun camping! I want to go camping so bad but haven't been able to find a good weekend for it
ReplyDeletei LOVE this outfit!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the idea of the skirt underneath, what a fab pretend idea of yours.
Those shoes are insanely awesome.
Do you remember the spandx bicycle shorts from the late 80s? I still look for them, in color coordinating variations for my wardrobe. Squatting to pick up my lil man (14 months old!) is a little difficult in a dress!
ReplyDeleteLove the hearts! Anything with hearts makes me smile!
You look really great, I love your hair right now :) And beautiful dress!
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks so amazing! and this outfit is super cute--did I mention that I love the cat hair on your dress?! That's how I am a lot of the time, haha.
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute! I love this heart filled dress + your pretty hair!!
ReplyDeleteHaha I totally did that on our tea date at the museum! Short tunic, tight mini!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit!
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally feel you on the preventative layers, butt flashings are no fun. Lately it seems like everything I own has shrunk up in the wash, and I have found myself wearing shorts under my skirts pretty regularly. I just can't bear to let them go, you know? So when it's too hot for opaque tights, shorts it is!

I actually have plain white and black (2 different) skirts I use to lengthen the short Forever21 dresses I own. You can end up seeing the skirt hem at the bottom of the dress and it adds fullness to the items too. Plus, yes, no worries about showing off your booty.
ReplyDeleteHow cute are you!? I'm completely loving those shoes! Xo

Super cute shoes :) yay vintage!
ReplyDeleteI just invested in loads of reduced cycle shorts after seeing far too many pairs of underwear on my walk through town today, I'm convinced Scottish women don't know how to dress for summer! I love the idea of wearing a second skirt though, and if you do happen to have an accident you are flashing something pretty. You look gorgeous xo
ReplyDeleteis it a new kitty? have you brought back a little stray kitty?! :D
ReplyDeleteoh elycia you're hair looks WONDERFUL!!! i love it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to wear a tighter skirt underneath. I'll have to try that!

Such an adorable dress! I usually always through shorts on underneath my dresses, but a skirt would work so much better, just to avoid rising of the shorts.

love everything about it.. i'll try the tight skirt (some wear tights), b/c it's windy here in jerusalem :D
ReplyDeletebtw, i'm so glad you're platinum blonde again, looks so much fun (i'm blonde by proxy :P )
I love your hair! I envy the fact that it curls at that length. After cutting my hair short it doesn't curl the same way. -.- I know it will grow back, but it sure likes to take its time.
ReplyDeleteCute dress btw. :3
I use the no heat wave method to curl it. I wrap it around a scarf or something while it is slightly damp and then it is so curly when it dries!
DeleteWhat a fantastic idea to layer a tight skirt under a floaty dress! I absolutely love the mix of these prints too. Hearts and polka dots are kind of meant to be together, I think. Your shoes are super cute too!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good idea! I need that because I flash people all the time *embarrassed*
ReplyDeleteBTW you look absolutely gorgeous! You're so pretty! You definitely rock that platinum hair (:
Great outfit
