Happy belated Good Friday! Adrian and I both had the day off so we headed out to a small town called Ennis about 45 minutes away from Dallas where they were reported to have fields of blooming bluebonnets this year. Neither of us had ever been down there before so we were excited to get out of the city and enjoy the slower small-town atmosphere to see our pretty state flower at the peak of its yearly bloom. We did find ourselves a great field of flowers (I’ll be sharing those pictures in another post soon!), Dylan got see some live horses (I fed one but Dylan was too scared), and we all enjoyed some authentic Mexican food on our way out! Dylan was wiped out by the end and I know we’ll be back to visit that cute city again (they have a drive-in theater, y’all!).
This was my outfit for the bluebonnet pictures as I wanted the family to wear outfits that were brightly colored and would stand out against the darker blue flower color. Radiant orchid has been my go-to color lately and it just seemed to pair perfectly with the ladylike windowpane print of this midi skirt. I had been holding off on wearing this skirt as I had originally planned to alter it about an inch or so. As I was sitting down last night to do the alterations though, I realized that the circle hem was a little tricky in how it was sewn together. I chickened out and decided I didn’t want to chance messing up this beautiful Kate Spade find. Looking at these pictures now, I’m actually thinking maybe I’m ok with the length of the skirt as-is… What do you think?

I think the length of the skirt is lovely with heels! 🙂
Really like the bright top and necklace paired together too 🙂

ok, you know how to "wow" us! i am definitely "wowed"! very nice!
You should definitely go to the drive in soon! I love the Ennis drive-in… but it gets too hot for it by June! Great outfit, it is wonderful to find a local fashion blogger – I get tired of seeing all the outfits with coats and jackets – we can only wear those about 1 month a year here in Dallas.
