Hey guys, hope everyone is having a super week! Do you like our jumping shot?! Haha, hubs and I decided to end off our photo-shoot with a jumping face off; clearly his jumping talents far surpass my own. AND in other news, I'm so excited for this upcoming week -it's my birthday. Yay!! The Mr. has some terrific ideas planned for us. I of course couldn't resist splurging on a few new & adorable modcloth dresses, which I'll be sharing with you guys in an outfit post. So excited!
This is easily my favourite dress I've worn in awhile. It's a recent "blogger swap" acquisition and I just adore it! You can see how Alicia styled it in her recent post here: "thankful." Don't you just love that she added a fantastic military jacket?! Gorgeous. I'm surprised it's taken me this long to wear something pleated ...such a pretty & flattering silhouette.
Alright my lovelies, hope your weekend is a fantastic one. I'll be enjoying a BBQ with friends at their newly purchased home (congrats guys) on Saturday, along with lots of birthday/weekend fun. Oh, and I'll see you guys next week for a few more "swapped" goodies. xx veronika
That dress is so pretty, the pleated skirt on it is so so gorgeous! Have a wonderful birthday :) xx
ReplyDeleteI love that dress, the colors look great on you :)

Happy pre-birthday girl! I love this soft color on you and the pleats are sensational! I'd say you two are a pretty close match with your jumpshots! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of the dress! And nice jumpshots! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy almost birthday!
xo, gina
I don't have anything pleated like that in my closet! I must find a pleated skirt or dress soon! These pictures are lovely by the way! Love the close up and the jumping shots!
ReplyDeleteHappy (early) Birthday! Have fun celebrating!

Veronika!!! First of all, you are so gorgeous. Second of all, the dress look a-mazing on you. I'm so glad we were able to swap something, it really eases the pressure to wear something "new". Thanks so much for linking me back, I have a post about the swap coming up this weekend for sure. Love love love xo
ReplyDeleteAw, so pretty! And so fun that you swapped with Alicia! Both of you girls look gorgeous in it! The jumping photos are adorable, I have tried this in the past and faaaaailed! Ha! I'm terrible at it! So cute though!
ReplyDeleteI love all the cool tones in this dress! The lip color and wedges coordinate without matching in a great way :) Have a great birthday week!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis dress is sooo pretty, love the pleats and colour. Those jumping pictures are sooo cute. Happy Birthday lady :) hope you have a great one

that dress is gorgeous. i love the pleats! the jumping shots are adorable. you and your hubby are so cute. i hope you have a fabulous birthday!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoying seeing two different but equally successful ways of styling this dress. The accessories in the same colour tones look great too, without being too matchy-matchy. - Kat
ReplyDeleteThis dress is gorgeous, Veronika! I really love it! and this is the first time I see your husband, so funny ^^ x

What a gorgeous dress! I have yet to get anything pleated, but I'm certainly dying to. I love that the skirt of the dress is a brighter pink than what you often see of pleated skirts. So cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd happy early birthday too! Hope you have a ton of fun!!

That's a beautiful dress. And the bag is really cute too. :)

I hope you have a great birthday!! That dress is awesome--I love the pleats and the unexpected color combo!
ReplyDeleteHoly moly, I adore this outfit, Veronika! The skirt on that dress is so pretty, and I love those hot pink shoes! Jumping shots are always so difficult, but yours turned out lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteThis dress is so pretty. You totally scored on the swap. The pleats are very becoming and the hemline is perfect on you.

I love the skirt of this dress, the pleats are darling. Both of you look rad in your jumping shots :)
ReplyDeleteloving the pleats, you look fab! x
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely lovely in this dress, Veronika! You should most definitely buy something pleated. I have a skirt that really looks like the bottom of this dress, and I adore it. It's elegant and feminine.
ReplyDeleteYay! Can't wait for some pics from your Birthday party! :)

Such a beautiful dress. I don't know how she was able to give it up.
ReplyDeleteThe jump off is hilarious. It had me laughing at my desk at work and brightened up my morning. The pleated dress is beautiful. I just bought a pleated skirt from H&M and have been wearing it nonstop.
ReplyDeletewww.toindigo.blogspot.com
That dress is amazing-I wouldn't have been able to stop swirling that pink pleated skirt! Enjoy the weekend-it sounds divine!
ReplyDeleteI feel like a total creep but when I saw the picture of that dress I thought, "That looks familiar"... Alicica... lol... This is a "you know you read too many Vancouver fashion blogs when" kind of moment. You both rocked that dress!
ReplyDeleteI love this dress, and I love the fact that you and Alicia both wore it so differently, it hardly even looks like the same garment! I'm particularly fond of the lip colour you wore with it in your take- the shade is perfect on you.
ReplyDeleteI have to admire your dedication to great blog photos- those jumping shots are both awesome (although I think I have to agree that Martin would; I'm sure if Ian and I were to do a jump-off, he would beat me, too.) Hope you're enjoying a wonderful week :)
xox,

The pleating and the color of the skirt is just perfect. :D

i have that dress too! i haven't worn it for ages though because i find it so hard to wear with the right bra... lol. I was debating about whether or not to make it into a skirt. it looks so cute on you though I might have to reconsider and take it out for a spin!

and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! xoxox
ReplyDeletelove this post and the jumping face off and loved your photo an hour post from a few days back ( I am behind!!)
ReplyDeleteyour hubs is pretty cute and photogenic too.. you make an awesome pair!! xoxo J
You two are adorable and I love your pleated skirt Veronika! :D
ReplyDeleteI love that you and Alicia both made the dress so personal- it totally suits your style and matches so well with the beloved coral wedges!
ReplyDeleteAnd how cute are you and the hubs?! Love the flying photos! xx
I adore the pink on you! Your jumping pics are so fun too!

That dress might be the cutest thing in the history of, oh, ever. Pink and pleated perfection. Have a lovely weekend; sounds like y'all have fun plans!
ReplyDeleteLove your swapped dress! What a great way for you to be able to add a few more "piece" {at least temporarily ;)} to your closet! These pleats are so purty and such a lovely shade of pink to boot!
ReplyDeleteLove how you accessorized ... that necklace is perfect!
But my favorite thing about this post is the "jump off" ... it is so great to be silly and not take yourselves too seriously. Oh, and to be fair, I think you could have taken hubs down ... you had a disadvantage being in a dress and bare feet ;)
Have a lovely weekend!
♥ Cat brideblu
lovely look!! i love your skirt and hair!! and loving the last picture!!
ReplyDeletelovely dress!adorable peachy color!
ReplyDeleteAhhh I loved that dress on Alicia & it looks just as lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteI think I would like it better as a skirt just so I could wear it with a bunch of different things but it's still so pretty as a dress. Love it!

Love that dress! Alicias got so many amazing pieces in her closet. It looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely in love with your shoes lady! They are seriously the most perfect color.
ReplyDeleteVeronika, this is easily one of my favourite looks of yours ever! Seriously blown away by how stunning you look...the colour of the dress itself and the way you styled it just perfectly suits you. I really wish I could've been there for the blogger swap, all you girls have such great new looks and I'm stuck with the same old closet. Boo.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, hopefully we can figure out a get together soon! I'm drowning a bit with school buuuut I think mid-August perhaps we could plan something? Have a great birthday week love (that's how I operate anyway...these things can stretch out for weeks).
