Today is my last day at Lake Austin Spa Resort and I am desperate to stay another night. It really has been the retreat I needed… but more about that on Monday! Anywho, this is the other dress I picked up from J.Crew a couple weeks ago and I am totally head over heels. It’s the perfect blank canvas for any mix of accessories, dressed up or down, don’t you think? I wore this frock for dinner on 4th of July, and also on a date a couple weekends ago. It’s super versatile and classic, but the flounce sleeves give it a little something extra.
Also, I’m sure you noticed the gorgeous gems around my neck – my good friend Grace (from Stripes & Sequins) collaborated with BaubleBar to design a collection and each piece is stunning! This necklace is a favorite and certainly makes a snazzy statement, but I’ve gotten even more use out of this ring. Such a pretty piece, right? Simple and sleek and only $28!

Love the delicate swiss dot print of this dress and the sleeves make it so much more special. Can’t get enough of the white dress lately.
What a beautiful summer dress Merritt! I love the perfect and fun sleeves. I have that same ring from bauble bar with stripes and sequins, such a perfect accessory!

I like the LWD. And the necklace is a hit too.
I love a classic swiss dot! It’s something you don’t see too often but I love how timeless and feminine it is. And the flutter sleeve is the perfect detail! Just lovely!

I just bought this dress online! Was planning on pairing it with black cowboy boots for a charity gala with a Country Chic dress code. Thoughts? I haven’t seen it in person so I’m not sure it will work with boots.
ya! It would look so cute with cowboy boots – definitely a look I would wear here in Texas :)
Hi, I have just found your blog, which is beautiful and we have something in common which is your fabulous Aquazzura amazon sandals, my absolute fav!, they look amazing with this gorgeous look.
