Pin It

Secret Garden Dress.  Order it in Green or White!
Michigan has been in a mood these past two weeks.  One second it is sunny, the next the skies are dark and cloudy, threatening rain.  The state can't really seem to make up its mind what its next move is going to be.... are we going to ride out the summer for the rest of August getting a few more hot days or are we going straight into fall here?  It's really a toss up, the first year we lived here we had snow at the end of September so its not like fall coming soon is out of the question.

Thankfully, I will be heading back to California in two short weeks, and the down to the deep south of my Georgian hometown (both times to shoot weddings).  I am pretty sure this dress is going to be packed on both trips because its the easiest thing to slip on, I can move around and be comfortable in it when I am photographing.  And that is so important-- I couldn't very well be taking great photos if I am constantly worried about wardrobe malfunctions.   So this dress is definitely coming with me.  I have definitely had the best luck finding great pieces at Kikila'rue.com  By the way, this website is not paying me to say this. I really truly mean it.  Ordering online is always such a toss up because you never really know what you are going to get BUT every piece I have ever gotten has been top quality and I think that is saying a lot.

I also kind of love that it makes me look like I am a little "with it" in the fashion world.  It is the high-low trend which means it is shorter in the front and longer in the back (insert countless mullet jokes here).  So maybe people think I am a little trendy when I wear this?  Lordy, I can only hope so because I need it!  When the husband gives me the go ahead to spend money and add to my wardrobe the items better be fantastic because THAT doesn't happen every day (can I get an amen from my wife friends?!)

If you love this dress you can order it here in green or here in white.  The Kiki La'Rue facebook page also is always doing giveaways, and we are bloggers-- we all love free stuff right?

  1. You, my friend, are just gorgeous! I love these pictures. And look at you traveling all over the country for shoots. Might have to hire you one day :)

    I love the high-low look so I won't be making any mullet jokes, ha. I think they're a perfect Summer look, fashionable, and great dressed up or dressed down with some sandals!

  4. So cute! How is it wearing a strapless? I am busty and always have a hard time finding a strapless dress that doesn't make me look HUGE or that keeps falling down. Do you have an amazing strapless bra?
