Plaid Days of Indian Summer

9.04.2012

It's been raining more lately, which should only help to make the next couple months even more beautiful. We haven't let a little mist keep us from taking evening walks as a family and enjoying the sweet moments that come at unexpected times.
Katie and I recently attended a vintage clothing sale and snagged quite a few jewels, including this dress. See what I mean by unexpected moments in time? I couldn't wait to wear this out and about and of course Ryan was there to snap a few pictures. Nellie really liked my dress too and agreed to do a mother daughter outfit post in honor of the occasion.

Nellie Outfit Details: collar- Petco//leash- Ebay

I think I'm going to make it a goal to take Nellie on a "real" walk 5 days a week. We could both use the adventure, and the exercise. I've always wanted an exercise buddy. big kiss, bekuh

That shade of blue is my favorite and I love how you emphasized it with that purty necklace! You have some great shoes in your shop right now, I wish they were a size 6!!
