Ethnic prints have been back on trend for a while now, but, like all trends, it has taken them a while to trickle down to the masses. My dress is actually a tunic from a sari set found at a local thrift store (from which 50% of my wardrobe hails). It sat in my closet for a while next to its one-size larger and three-shades darker twin begging to be worn. It is made of the softest gauze cotton and let me tell you I am in love. This is its first time being photographed, but I have worn it to pieces in the last few months.
When the Louisiana heat settles in, the goal is to stay cool, but covered. I don’t know about you, but I am “that girl” who wears a sweater in July because the sudden A/C blast of every building in town is too much of a climate change from the outdoors. The long sleeves keep me warm inside, but the breathable fabric keeps me cool outside. Win-win.
As for accessorizing a one-of-a-kind print, I took the semi-adventurous route. I only recently jumped back onto the Birks train and I don’t even regret it. I thought I might, but these babies have yet to leave my feet in days. Give me a second, I have to pat myself on the back for making a great shoe decision.
