The right outfit is of utmost importance - I found this dress on a thrifting expedition this week and the full skirt was perfect for dancing! A wide-brimmed hat was a must, as were a pair of sunglasses, sunscreen, and lots of water.
Dress - Salvation Army Thrift Store
"Lady Beatrice" vintage hat - The Sentimentalist Vintage store
Favourite lace-up sandals - retail
My friend Heather picked up her striped hat at the Bay - she was going to get an all-black one, but then had a "what would Shelley do" moment and got the pink and black one!
A pretty parasol is a great alternative to a hat - shade, and style savvy!
I'll be posting more photos from Sunfest all weekend.
I absolutely adore at last dress! Any idea where it come from?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your Sunfest reports. Sounds like you may have some dancing in store and you found an excellent dress for it. I'm going to get out my paper parasol now.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! You look cool and festive! I'm discovering, or re-discovering the benefits of dresses in the summer. I think in my late 40's I didn't want to show too much skin but now that I'm over 50, fuck it! ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely dresses & always adore a parasol!
ReplyDeleteI agree - the perfect hot'n'humid festival outfit!
ReplyDeleteLove your friend's hat, and of course I'm drawn to the lovely maxi and parasol ensemble!
Have a great time. xxxx
Perfect outfit Shelley!
ReplyDeleteIt has been warm here as well
I love that your friend purchased the pink and black hat
The parasol is so gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteLovely dress. I'd love to see a close up of that necklace!
ReplyDeleteI love your sun dress and that fringe-edged hat with those lace-up sandals (with blue toes!). You look cool. Wow, it's hot there - we're tiptoeing into the mid-20s and we're all celebrating.
ReplyDeleteShelley, you have the perfect outfit for a hot summer day. The dress floats around you and the hat/glasses protect you from the sun with glamour. And I see the blue polish on your toes, reflecting the pattern in your dress. Nice touch! You are indeed ready to hit the dance floor!
