Hello! Well, I feel like this dress should have a slightly more chipper story to go along with it, but the last few days have been a bit of a mixed bag. Remember a few weeks back when I mentioned I was under the weather & might have a food allergy?! Yup, I sure do. I ended up making several emergency visits to the hospital after breaking out in hives & unable to breathe. Needless to say, it was unbelievably scary - thankfully, I'm okay now. I am, however, on some super strong medication, so if I look a little dazed in these photos (oh my goodness), my apologies!
Okay, onward & upward. This is one of my favourite outfits as of late. As much as I love pairing dresses & cardigans, for this summer I wanted to find a few alternatives to mix it up a bit, and I loved the idea of adding a crisp blazer. I also bought a cute striped one, which I can't wait to style on the blog! Oh, and you probably already noticed, but I made a few coding tweaks to the blog -
it's the last time, I promise. Haha, for a little while anyway... who am
I kidding, it's just too darn fun. ;) Hope you're having a great start
to your week!

Lots of love,

You look great so we don't even notice the medication ;)
ReplyDeletehope you feel better fast!!
That food allergy fiasco sounds terrifying! It's not any consolation at all, but at least now you KNOW what you're allergic too. Whew!
ReplyDeleteIt's great how this white blazer acts like a picture frame to the floral dress: the neutral jacket draws the eye towards the fun, busy print and really makes the observer take it in. I wonder if I can pull off that same trick with my dresses?
Goodness, I'm glad you're doing better!! How scary! I love this dress paired with the hot pink belt and white blazer. I might just have to steal this idea from ya!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, feel better soon lovely! Sending lots of love your way. This outfit is definitely one of my favourites that you've put together! It looks brilliant :)

ReplyDeleteI love your dress and it is indeed a terrific look. A blazer always adds that certain something doesn't it? Love the hot pink belt too!
That allergy attack sounds super scary - I'm glad you're okay! And I love this dress and blazer pairing, it's super cute.

Oh, your hair. I love it so much. On my 8th birthday, my aunt got me a coconut cake without realizing I was allergic. We were camping and it was too dark to see the coconut flecks on my cake, so I ate it like nobody's business. I was rushed to the nearest 24 hour clinic in the woods which was a solid 45 minute drive and given shots. YUCK!! I know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteI love the floral dress paired with the blazer. I am definitely trying out this combination.

Gorgeous dress and you look lovely as ever. You don't look like you've been sick at all. Do you know what your food allergy is? How frightening.

Here&Now
I am glad to hear that you're doing better and you know what's going on. That is pretty scary.
ReplyDeleteI too LOVE pairing a light blazer with summer dresses. I live in Southern California and last week was high 90s - low 100s. It was horrendous. This week is noticeably cooler (still in the low 80s but I'm definitely noticing the 20 degree difference) so I was able to wear a light striped blazer I found the other day. I might have to leave my own blazer until late fall when it gets considerably cooler around here. I can't wait to see what you do with the striped blazer.

Me gusta muchisimo el vetido el estampado es perfecto!!
ReplyDeleteun saludo, Mario
On strong medication or not, you look lovely. I love the crisp white blazer! I found a similar one for $5 at Goodwill and from the brand name I knew it was a steal. Also love the striped blazer from F21. Keep up the fun style and get well soon :)
ReplyDeleteLooking lovely! I'm sorry to hear about your allergy problems, but at least you're figuring it all out. I hope you feel better soon. I love that little floral dress with the fun belt and flats, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI know this is going to seem like an odd detail to fixate on, but I cannot get over how much I love that neon pink belt! I noticed it when you had it on yesterday and happened to be looking through snaps from Alex's going away, where I noticed it again. It's a gem, and it seems to go with everything! I love the way it looks with this pretty floral dress of yours. Such a lovely mix. So glad you were able to stop by yesterday, and hoping that by the next blog post you'll be feeling 100% again :)
ReplyDeletexox,

Allergies are scary. Yikes. I'm glad things are kind of finally settling for you--no more being sick, okay? Also, you look great in this dress-belt-cardigan ensemble. (:
ReplyDeleteOh no! Sorry to hear about your allergies and trips to the hospital! Hope you're feeling better now though.
ReplyDeleteI love the dress and the way you added the neon belt to it. Have a lovely week!
I hope you found out what you were allergic too! HOW scary! Glad you're ok.

Oh gosh! Food allergies? How scary! good thing they got you feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is a beauty, I would have never thought to pair is with a blazer (seeing as I have none!) but it looks so radical!

What Lola Wants
How scary! Have you ever considered or heard of Naturopathic means to fight your allergies? I used to be so allergic to my cat and to dogs that I would break out in hives and not be able to breathe (I'd wake up at night gasping for breath), but after a treatment at my Naturopathic doctor (I'm talking ONE visit per allergy!) I am able to cuddle my cat with absolutely no side effects whatsoever.
ReplyDeletePlus, I don't have to take drugs, there were no needles involved, and the change is permanent! It's been almost two years now and I have yet to display allergies to my cat again.
You do have to be careful who you go to, though, as a lot of Naturopathic doctors can get a little weird. I had an experience before we found my doctor with a woman who had devised her own methods, which did NOT work, rather than following the original way to get rid of allergies Naturopathically. If you lived around here I'd totally recommend you to my doctor! It seems like she's just a miracle worker. :)
I hope you can beat your allergies comfortably!
And, you look beautiful! I love that dress on you.
Sorry this comment is so long!
Cute! I love the pop of neon pink with the belt! I do hope you feel better pretty lady!

oh my, that just sounded like a page you wanna rip out of your book of life and burn it to the ground! what a fright Veronika, i'm so sorry you had to go through something that traumatic and i'm sure completely energy sucking too. at least you now have a handle on things and can work around another reaction with diet, etc. glad to have read on and see you feeling better and better :) keep it up!
ReplyDeletelove the darling little floral pattern and always am in a swoon over petite pink belt. how handy are the skinny, candy-colored belts this year?! they make any outfit come to life and yours is tailored femininity perfection. xo ♥
Just found your blog, and I love your style!

Eek, I sure hope you're feeling better now darling! Sounds like such a nightmare :( We'll have to chat about this next time we hang out! On a brighter note, I adore this look and cannot get over how much I love that pop of colour in the belt. And that crisp white blazer is the perfect finishing touch. Fab as always :)
ReplyDeletehope you are feeling better and the allergy is not too bad. Hope you can still eat lots of food and don't have to be too cautious. I am lactose intollerant and that is so difficult as lactose is in almost any food these days. Still, it's no allergy, i ONLY get stomach problems.
ReplyDeleteI really love the idea with the blazer, need one as well that looks as cute as yours!!
I love that dress and I want a white blazer now. Look so beatuiful! :) I hope you feel better now. Sounds scary to me. It's so nice you get to wear blazer while us here in Kansas we are sure suffering from drought. Too darn hot and humid!
