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.

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!
Antonia says
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 ๐
Kayla says

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.
Britta says
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.
