I loved this dress enough to wear it while my grandparents were visiting last weekend, who I had not yet revealed the whole tattoo thing to. Their uncomfortable silence leads me to believe they aren’t exactly thrilled by it, but I figure I might as well get it over with now and let them see the whole thing. I wore this dress last on a horrible blind date and knew I wanted to wear it again soon in order to create fond memories to replace the old. Problem. Solved. I had a great time with my grandparents!
This outfit is quite simple. I didn’t need jewelry, just a great pair of shoes and a little hipster hat to hide my overgrown roots.

Beautiful.
I can't believe your tatoo actually matches your dress! 🙂 You look great!

this is the cutest outfit i love the shoes and i love the tattoo !!! 🙂
LOL Oh I remember the first time that my Grandmother saw my mother's tatoo. :-O Many printouts from the web on ink poisoning later . . .
At any rate, the color and collar of this dress are so fun and springy! I love the hat and wedges too! You look just lovely!
This is such a fun and oh so lovely look! How could the grandparents be mad about the tattoo for long, this look is too sweet of a distraction 🙂
Really loving the color of this dress! It looks awesome with your skin and hair. Very pretty 🙂
i adore the juxtaposition of the endearing peter pan collar with your totally rad tattoo…. sure your g-ma and g-paw fell in love too!
aside, blind dates are the worst. ugh. good call re-doing the sartorial memory associations.

Love your tattoo! I wish I were brave enough to get a big one like that. I can't even convince myself to get a tiny finger tattoo.
This look is totally adorable! Those cute Peter pan collars are everywhere nowadays. Love the way you've styled it here with the straw hat and wedges.
