I say all the time that I’m not a “dress” girl, but over and over when I wear them, I think… “Why don’t I wear more dresses??!”  This is one of my favorite summer dresses.  I’ve been wearing it every summer for the past 8+ years (am I the only one that gauges time on occasions?  I know I wore this on our honeymoon which was 6 years ago, and it wasn’t new… 🙂 )  It’s a convertible dress-meaning you can wear it a ton of different ways, depending on how you tie it.  It’s a no brainer to take on vacation because of it’s versatility, comfort, oh and spray it a few times with a water bottle and wrinkles be GONE!

I love that I can wear it around my neighborhood with flip flops and it’s totally casual.  Yet, if I throw on some fancier sandals-date night!! Let’s all just pretend that I don’t have a total farmer tan, ok?  Great… Twirling.  Cos, she makes it look so fun! 😉 Loooooove this next shot!  Look at her face!!  LOVE!!Hahaha!There was a ribbon hanging down from our neighbors tree.  I’m assuming from a balloon?  In any case, she was determined to grab it!Oh, and could I Photoshop that GINORMOUS bruise from Maya’s leg?  Yes, faster than I can type this sentence.  But…that’s toddler life.  And, that’s what I want her and ME to remember.  She basically looks like Child Protective Services should haul me in at any minute, but…she’s having fun!!!My favorite…And…there are still people in our neighborhood who water their lawns… Which is heaven for Maya.  Preeeeeetty sure they wouldn’t be overly excited that she was running through their yard, but whatever.  OOPS!  And, truth be told, this happened at the BEGINNING of our walk, but I thought it looked better to have it at the end hahaha.  Thankfully the sun dried her dress and hair out quickly!On me…

Obviously, Maya isn’t used to seeing me in dress either!!  Oh, and “hide and seek” is her favorite game haha.
