Yesterday, despite a very rainy Seattle, I spent the morning with my Aunt down at Pike Place Market. We caught up over croissants and coffee, before I met up with my good friend Nicole, to do some downtown shopping. We eventually headed over to U-Village for lunch and more shopping, which is when I scored this dress at H&M for a whopping $20. I was thrilled, to say the least, at the gentle price tag but mostly with how when I swirled around in the dressing room, I felt like I was a living watercolor painting. Both my Aunt and Grandmother (on my Dad’s side) are talented artists, but my Grandmother mostly paints beautiful watercolors. This dress definitely reminds me of the many hand painted cards I have received from her over the years.
So, seeing that I packed only a few pairs of shoes this trip, I didn’t have a huge selection to choose from. But, I found that the clogs worked out nicely with the 60s/70s vibe I had going on. I felt like I should be hosting a backyard garden party, complete with cocktails, pigs in a blanket, a swimming pool, and of course the two pink flamingos you see in the background…

I left this comment on your Flickr, but I have the same dress ( I even got it a week early for my sister!) and I love it.
Each dress looks different. You have a great mix of all the colors, while mine is very purple heavy and my sister’s is very yellow. I think it’s a great shape, it looks FABULOUS on you and I love it!:)

It’s such a fun dress! What a fabulous score. I was in Seattle last week and luckily, the weather was great, definitely one of my most favorite cities. Pike Market Place is awesome, isn’t it?

So gorgeous!!! The colors are simply amazing. It looks so expensive and chic! I am also loving the clog trend…not sure I myself can pull it off though…

I saw this dress in a magazine and fell instantly in love..the only thing I wondered about it was whether the sleeves would be a little too much in reality…but I love how it looks on you!! If only I didn’t live so far from an H&M..by the time I get to one it will likely be sold out…unless I’m lucky enough to find it on clearance
