Dress: Merona at Target {last seen here, before I hemmed it}
Espadrilles: Christian Louboutin "Tiburon" {a few options here}
Purse: Chloé "Paraty," purchased second-hand
Bracelets: Vintage
Watch: Michael Kors {similar here}
Nails: OPI "Don't Pretzel My Buttons" {here}
I hope you had a wonderful weekend, friends! Aren't these espadrilles cute? Better yet, can you believe David's sister discovered them at a local thrift store for $35! They didn't fit her so now they're mine. This is yet another example of why I love shopping at thrift and consignment stores!
Also, I tend to save this dress for the late summer and Autumn seasons, since the colors are so richly squash, gourd, and pumpkin inspired! I've had it for many years, but finally got around to hemming it just recently. See the before length here - it shortens my already short legs. Petites can really lengthen their look by hemming skirts and dresses just above the knees! Catch my basic hemming tutorial here. Thank you so much for visiting today!

I love that you shortened this! It was cute before but is very flattering now! I am so excited for Fall too--maybe if we start wearing more orange and drinking pumpkin lattes it will hurry up?

Such a cute dress. Love the backdrop, too.
these photos are BEAUTIFUL. and indeed thoes shoes are just perfect. lucky you that they fit you and not her!
and i love all the fall colors - it's seeming to almost be that time. and i always have to shorten long dresses - I have a few i wear a lot that i had to get hemmed (they were circle skirts with lining and i wasn't going to even try and figure out that hem)
