Another white dress! What can I say, when I like a certain style I will buy the same dress in several variations because I can’t stop myself! I have always had this affinity for delicate, white, feminine dresses that I can’t figure out. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen The Virgin Suicides so many times that the aesthetic has become permanently ingrained.
One thing I do know about my personal style is that I am prone to accumulating clothes in a specific style that become like a uniform. But I guess that’s the thing with personal style – you develop a taste for something because you know what works and then wearing a specific item of clothing becomes your thing, until you see a pattern happening in your wardrobe! When I was looking at my wardrobe earlier today the two styles that dominated were white dresses and jumpsuits. With a few nautical inspired outfits here or there. I guess the heart wants what it wants?
Of course climate is always going to play a big role in what I buy and wear. In a country of everlasting summers it can be hard to have variation in what I wear as I don’t have many seasons to play with. I am grateful to be on a career path where I have the freedom to wear what I want providing that it is modest. Although, as someone who is around felt tips, paint and glitter I have learned that white dresses are not always the best idea.
We took these photos on a sunny weekend morning and a band was playing some of my favorite Edith Piaf songs nearby. It was one of those perfect mornings and we spent a long time sitting in the park drinking fresh watermelon juice and enjoying the music. If you’re wondering how on earth I could lie down on the ground in this pristine white dress, this is because I forced my husband out of his jacket so that I could tuck it underneath me to make sure that I did not get any dirt on the dress!

What a beautiful 1920’s dress, love this photos – especially the last one with you lying in the grass/weeds! xo
OK – so much wow! Just beautiful.
There is something so immensely sweet + grippingly elegant at the same time about this beautiful outfit and set of photos. The whole thing feels as if it just sprang to life from an Impressionist painting, and that makes me adore everything here all the more.
Many hugs & happy weekend wishes, dear gal,

I love the image of you in the strands of the weeping willow, and it was totally worth stealing a jacket to get those last ones in the grass too! What a beautiful dress, and Jessica is spot on about the impressionist painting vibe!
Somehow this post only showed in my Bloglovin feed today?? Really weird. How dare it keep more outfit perfection from me!! That photo with the willow tree – so pretty it makes my heart hurt! Nice shoes btw 😉
Once you have a look that works for you, I say run with it! You look totally enchanting. Such a magical setting. And your white dresses are utter perfection!
Aww this is such a wonderful dress and it suits you so well.
I also love this cute parasol.
Many hugs <3

That last shot of you lying in the grass is like out of an ad campaign! Another stunning look, this is all light and bright, in contrast to the moody magic of your Phoenix photos.

Very clever of you to utilize your hubby’s jacket! And very kind of him to let you prop yourself on top of it =)
Love this little dress – it’s super feminine and adorable and looks perfect for the summer heat!!
i love the dress!

You do the 1920’s so well. This is a lovely dress, and that pretty pond makes me want to step right into the photograph!

These photos are stunning! The colors and the mood are just divine and you look ethereal and beautiful as always! I don’t have a light colored or white 20’s dress yet but it is definitely on my list 🙂
Those last two images are perfectly dreamy and so sweetly whimsical ~ I just adore the wistful mood they portray! Of course, your darling dress and that parasol complete the pretty picture so delightfully… ❤

Haha I definitely have the same thing for pretty white/embroidered/super feminine dresses a la the virgin suicides too! My wardrobe is basically all black/white/red/navy or super girly pastels and I wouldn’t have it any other way! And that photo of you laying in the grass was 100% worth the risk of getting your dress dirty for!
