This dress was in the back of the closet for many years. I seldom wear sleeveless dresses but I do like this graphic print so I've kept it. I found these shoes on sale and thought about pairing these two pieces because it's been 90 degrees this week.
Somewhere long the way, I've held the opinion that sleeveless wasn't for me....ever. I've seen many of you looking great in sleeveless dresses so here I am bearing my arms. How did I form such a harden belief and why is it set in stone? I still prefer a three quartered sleeve but I'm willing to give sleeveless enough of a try to get this dress out and wear it.
Do you have any opinions about what you "should or shouldn't" wear? Are these opinions worth reconsidering?

I went to an outdoor party last weekend and this is what I wore. On a whim, I cut a dahlia from my garden and secured it with two bobby pins. I was surprised the flower lasted well into the evening. There's something fun about wearing a real flower especially a flower that you have grown in the garden. Pinning a flower on your lapel or in your hair makes the simplest outfit come alive.
Since this event was outside on grass, lower heeled shoes seemed like the best decision. If you need a small bag, this one is a beauty and the color combination works great with many outfits.
