La Vie en Rose

I bought this dress on mega sale at Kohl's last week, imagining how I would pair it with edgier pieces in the fall -- textured black tights, Doc Marten's, my Military-inspired sweater, without even thinking about how it was the perfect summer dress for these hot August days.
Like Erin said, the great thing about a patterned dress is that you don't have to do much to it to make it a great outfit. A matching belt, necklace with roses to match its print and some black shoes were all I needed to feel very fashionable.

I sort of cheated a bit when coming up with accessories because I wore both this necklace and these shoes for Toni's wedding on Saturday. The black roses on the necklace were a perfect match to the dress, and I couldn't resist an accessory repeat.
