Sometimes it takes me 5 days but the best summer dress and crazy beach hair.

I've been off the blogging bandwagon, but I'm back on.  Sometimes I get blah, blah, blah about it, I start a post and I stop, feeling like I have nothing to say that you guys want to hear.  No biggie, not a real problem.  But nothing like the most amazing dress to get me back on the saddle.

And really it is.

It's beach, it's farmers market, it's picking my kids up at school, it's baby shower, and church, and I'm even going to wear it out to an evening event this week - follow my instagram to see!  accountability.

and it swishy swishes so nicely.

Plus it's the color of the ocean.  I am going through beach withdrawals so this is my little dress of paradise.

What I am trying to say is this dress is an investment, but the wear factor and the comfortability and the stop you on the street vibe...justifies?  I'm going with yes.
