Outfit: In the Land of Fairy Houses

 I discovered Larmoni not too long ago from some of my favorite bloggers. As someone who adores retro styles, I instantly fell in love. I do think the clothing are a bit pricey, but the styles are fairly unique. It seems as though they've been carefully selected. I do not feel the dress I am wearing in this photo was cheaply made at all. The zipper is sturdy and the fabric is nice. I love that there is a cotton lining inside so that it's light and breathable. I detest polyester linings, especially in the summer - they're the worst!

This is the perfect summer daytime dress. I love the high cut of the bodice and the low back, but what got me was the print. I thought it was simply adorable. I couldn't help but be reminded of fairy houses clustered in a cute, little town. I had not expected to garner any attention from it, so I was quite pleasantly surprised when I received compliments from strangers. On another note, while my style isn't as low-key and casual as the general attire of the area in which I live, it really is not my intention to stand out. I just like to wear these kinds of clothing. It gives me a little boost of confidence and is like another extension of "me". So, a couple of months ago when I overheard a woman tell her boyfriend/husband that I was pretentious, it truly perplexed me. My being dressed a certain way has nothing to do with who I am as a person. My body is my temple and why should I not dress it how I see fit?

 What I wore:
Dress: Larmoni
Flats: Burlington
