Seersucker and White

Blazer: Zara (kid's section); Dress: The Limited (old); Shoes: Calvin Klein via Marshalls; 
 Sunnies: Target; Necklace: Francesca's; Earrings: purchased in Mexico

This dress which is nine years old was originally worn at my high school graduation.*
I'm so happy that I have a dress that has stood the test of time and that I can see myself wearing for seasons to come.  After looking at a calendar and realizing that the summer is nearly over, I wanted to wear this dress at least once before Labor Day.  I'm not against wearing white after Labor Day, but there's nothing like wearing white (and seersucker) on a summer day.

*If you didn't already have a general idea of how old I am, now you do : )

    white and seersucker are pretty much the epitome of summer style - and that labor day stuff is nonsense. It's summer until it's fall - not labor day.

    I don't believe in that silly rule and I agree with Lyddie it's summer until it's fall! 
    I love pieces that stand the test of time and I love your seersucker blazer. 

    ps. I'll be reaching my 9 years out of high school next summer..lol :)

    I love love this look! Anything nautical is always so fresh in the spring and summer - it just makes me want to be in the water (if I had a boat, I'd say on the water..)

    I think i've been out of high school for 9 years too now, hmm how the time flies
