Sweet Summer Outfit

This lovely (and very affordable) retro dress has me dreaming of picnics by the river and long walks in the evening (although for that I might consider different shoes!). The earrings are perfectly me—I could wear them with just about anything (if only had I had an extra $2,500 to make them mine). And soft pink makeup is so pretty and summery.

Where would you wear this outfit? Shopping with the girls? Lunch in the city? Do tell!

A Fashionable Time-Suck

I've found yet another way to waste time (I really need more work to keep me busy!). It's Polyvore, a site that lets you shop for clothes and create sets—basically outfit mood boards. I haven't spent too much time there yet, but here's my first set, based on a similar outfit that I have (but have yet to wear):

Pretty cute, if I do say so myself (the outfit, not the board—that could use some dressing up).

This is a pretty basic set. Polyvore has templates to make your layout look like a magazine spread. I know I'm going to have fun playing around with it—and I promise to share the results.

What are you wearing this summer?
