Sentimental Value


Dress: Forever 21
Cardigan: J.J. Basics
Socks: Forever 21
Shoes: Target
Bag: thrifted vintage

I bought this dress about five years ago when Jasen and I were on a road trip. We drove up the California coast, stopping in San Francisco for a weekend, then continued through a redwood forest, through Oregon and up to Washington to visit my relatives, who live near Olympia. So whenever I wear this dress I remember that trip, and it makes me very happy! It was the best vacation I’ve ever taken in my life.

    I love this dress so much! I remember the first time I saw it after your trip. I was jealous then and I'm jealous now. The cardigan looks so cute with it too!

    This has always been one of my favourite dresses of yours. I was taken aback finding out it wasn't vintage!

    Loving the dress lady! the print is wonderful- very classic yet unexpected with the color scheme. And your past trip just sounds lovely (Oregon is one of my favorite places).

    I love the little things that take you back to moments in time! I usually have songs or smells that remind me of an exact time or place.

    Heeey! You were in my neck of the woods :D

    So funny. In a few weeks, I'll be taking that drive too, sort of. With Robert's parent's for his graduation. Portland to LA. Though we're only driving up the coast on the way back up here.

    Love, love this dress--especially with the teal and the ankle socks. It looks so sweet.
