School’s in session & summer’s coming to a close so I figured before everyone goes full pumpkin spice mode I’d show off my Summer Haul pieces while we still have warm weather.

H&M Pleated Neckline Blouse, similar

I really love how ladylike this is, but I’m enjoying pairing it with something a little unexpected.

I have gotten so much wear out of this floral tiered Express dress this season. This has been in my wardrobe for a number of years, but for some reason I’ve just been really drawn to it lately.

I had my daughter do a crown braid again. There’s just something very pleasing about the braid & the pleated neckline together. I also borrowed her mint rose earrings. I like that they pick up shades from the dress without overtly matching it.

• Blouse: H&M
• Dress: Express
• Boots: Maurices
• Sunglasses: Rayban

Overall I think there’s a bit of a frontier vibe to this ensemble. That’s a whole different kind of ladylike than I was originally envisioning. Like a little bit of a modern day Laura Ingalls.  Think about it.
