~ OH do I EVER love a GINGHAM dress! This gingham ruffle wrap dress is the kind of shape that is flattering on just about everyone! It also has such great MOVEMENT, making it even more MAJOR!

I’m starting to really gravitate towards dresses like this with a high-low shape. They are particularly perfect for those of you that might be a little bit more petite (like me!). When I was searching last minute for a dress for a friend’s wedding recently, I wished there had been more high-low options…they give a peek of your legs and often are naturally cut shorter, meaning you can hopefully avoid having to get them hemmed!

I’m just recently coming off of the most amazing weekend ever in Newport for my friend, Andrea’s, wedding! From the rehearsal dinner to the farewell brunch, the entire weekend was beautiful and full of fun times, new friends, and lots of laughs! I also shared a room with one of my close friends from Hill whose boyfriend was unable to make it. It was great to have some quality time with her and catch up since we hadn’t seen each other since I returned from Milan!

Something funny happened during this wedding…for the first time ever at a wedding…I wasn’t feeling a little down for not having a date. Actually, the OPPOSITE happened. I’ve never felt so happy to be date-free and able to float around and do as I pleased! Sometimes I wonder how many less friends I might make or be able to catch up with if I had a date by my side? How many less spontaneous adventures? How many less dance partners? 6 months ago, I was so dreading this wedding season solo and all of a sudden, I am enjoying this phase of life more than I ever have!? Are any of you in the same *dancing* shoes?

I’m so happy the sunshine has come BACK! I hope that it’s here to stay a little longer this time and hope that you are enjoying it wherever you may be!

Gratefully with love,
