Only if I told you...could you tell that the design on this Maxi dress is printed, not embroidered? Only if I told you it was 100 degrees and 80% humidity on the day I photographed this outfit...would you believe me? And now if I told you that the entire circular driveway in front of my condominium complex has been closed and demolished to undergo a complete remodeling phase.....are you now in disbelief? You'll see proof 3 months from now when it's complete!
That dress is so pretty on you, Bessie! Another one of your great F21 finds that fooled me into thinking it was a designer item :)

Such a gorgeous summer look! That dress is amazing. I can't imagine the heat... wow!
ReplyDeleteLove your maxi dress! Proof that you don't have to be 5'9" to rock a floor-length dress. You look great. I would have never guessed that the dress is printed! It looks embroidered and very expensive :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting proposals and handling of colors and textures.
ReplyDeleteHi Bessie! I love your maxi dress and the bracelets! I have some bangles from Amrita Singh as well and I love them! I hope you have a great day! xx Pip

I can't tell you enough how beautiful you are looking in this maxi dress. Yes, I mean it. Maybe I am a bit biased in my opinion but I feel that among all your outfits in recent times, you are looking the most elegant in this outfit. I can't say whether it is the color of the outfit or the cut , but whatever it is, you are looking great. The neat hairstyle and the wedges are perfectly complimenting the look !Love your bangles too.
ReplyDeletehave a nice day !

You look beautiful, I love your hat and dress :)
ReplyDeleteI love this dress on you, the print is so awesome! Can you use the demolished area as a cool backdrop for some of your photo shoots? My condo complex has been under construction forever and I try to use it to my advantage whenever possible :)
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous!! And that straw hat looks so chic. Forever21 here I come.
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty. I love the maxi.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress, and no, I really thought it was embroidered! Looks amazing, oh and there's the hat of my dreams right there hehe You look marvelous, ready for the French Riviera ♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful maxi. They are definitely my summer fave!
ReplyDeleteSoo cute..beautiful as always :)
ReplyDeleteOriginally I'd planned on specifically complimenting you on the awesome hat and then I seen the dress. You rock the look Bessie, looking incredible as usual!
ReplyDeleteTotally deceiving! I love those kinds of finds from F21. And I hope the construction isn't too much of a annoyance! I have to drive by a new housing construction zone everyday to work and I hate it!

Love that dress and I love your hair like that!
ReplyDeleteFantastic dress, would be perfect to wear for a romantic date (that's the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw it). The sunnies are gorgeous; your best pair!
ReplyDeleteWow that dress is stunning. Love love love the print and the color. Try to keep cool in this hot weather.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love everything about this dress and am going to look for it @ Forever 21! I would never know it was 100 degrees outside from these photos. I would definitely be a sweaty mess trying to take pictures in that kind of weather, but you look great!
ReplyDeleteyou look so beautiful, love your long dress! :)
ReplyDeletekiss
Gorgeous dress! Love the floppy hat with it.
ReplyDeletekassicalife.blogspot.com
That's a nice dress! The accessories are great with it too, I don't know I would be wearing all that in that heat tho ;)
ReplyDeleteOnly if I told you...would you believe me that you need to take that look to the beach ASAP! Loving the front and back print (hate when designers skimp on the back) and the ruffled trim around the bodice! Gorgeous, my love :)

Hi Bessie, I'm back from orbiting planet MCAT and will rejoin you earthlings in the blogging community.
ReplyDeleteOnto the dress: I prefer the printed variety to the stitched one any day so this dress is a sure winner for me. I love it paired with the straw hat and the gold sandals. What a great look to wear to a picnic or a casual stroll in the park.
That's such a pretty maxi, Bessie - perfect for that beach getaway you need to take! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat dress is gorgeous on you - but you could wear anything and be stunning! Can't wait to see picture of the finished work!
ReplyDeleteI love the shadow that the hat casts on you in the 1st photo. Very artistic. And the print is really unique! I like it! Embroidered on may be too folksy for me. You look great in 100F/80% heat, girl!
ReplyDeleteWow, hot weather and demolitions; that's insane! I love Forever 21 because they have something for every style, and I absolutely love your dress and hat!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful printed dress. colour, design, styling, all perfect. thank you for sharing!!!

It's so difficult to take great pictures on days when it is 100 degrees outside and looking anything BUT how miserable you are feeling. It has been like that non-stop lately! We need some rain to cool it off!

All I read was how hot it is there - holy mother, that sounds terrible. I was in Kansas when it was 104 and it made me ill! I admire your dedication to blogging.

These are my fave type of dresses bc they bring you in at the waist so you dont get lost in all the fabric. I love it and I like your hair like this with those cat eye sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteYes Bessie!! I do believe everything you've told us!!! ;-)
