I pulled this very casual dress off the shelf this morning and decided to dress it up with a light-weight jacket, black belt and shoes, and a brooch the same color as the jacket.
I hope the wrinkles work their way out of the dress. I had NO time to try out the steamer I thrifted a few weeks ago.
I believe this dress will do nicely for my five-day trip to the Abbey of Gethesami in Kentucky next week. It's comfortable, versatile and will travel easily.
I probably won't have access to internet and cell phone while at the Abbey. It may be awhile until I post again. I'll miss all you "fashionable friends" while I'm gone!
Very stylin' today. I've come to appreciate the way a jacket can really formalize a look, from jeans to a dress, and always keep my eye open for good jacket buys. Enjoy your upcoming trip!
ReplyDeleteOh, Rebecca. Is that going to be a retreat at the Abbey? Sounds like a wonderful idea. Would you pray for me? Thanks! Sincerely, Susan
ReplyDeleteWhat a chic and very "French" looking outfit, Rebecca.
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing and peaceful time at the retreat.

Hi Rebecca:
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely lady you are. I like your style and I stayed on your garden blog enjoying the background sounds of nature : )
Your grandchildren are beautiful and the hair cut the little blond got was too sweet.
Your photography is calming and soothing to this harried apartment dweller. It is most refreshing.
I hope you enjoyed your retreat and happy to come home again.
peace

The jacket really makes this a great outfit.
ReplyDeleteI linked you on my last Friday's post. Have a look when you get a minute.
