i like people who blog on saturdays.
therefore, i like you.
as if we didn't know this.
for the most part, i love arizona weather. but the whole layering to cover up thing is just really, well, sweaty in the summer. i like this idea. cuz cardis really do get old in the sum sum heat!
This is such a great idea! I'd normally be afraid to put a dress over a shirt because it can look so frumpy, but with a flowy blouse it looks so cute.
you are so adorable! love the pattern mixing.

yay I Love doing this! I usually wear cardi's under dresses so that the dress silhouette isn't lost in pictures. I'm going to use this idea once it gets warmer here in Rexburger! House of Shoes
Yep, it's hard to stick with the modest look in the summer when everything seems to be short and sleeveless. Good option to layer with something really light. I will go like you on facebook right now!
could you be any cuter right now. holy moly love this look. your earring are so boss. love them.
Facebook finally agreed that I do in fact like your blog.
That is super daring, but it worked! This is a great way to modest-ify a dress though.
you are brilliant! I have been trying to figure out this whole modesty thing in my first georgia summer. seriously it should not be 90 degrees at midnight.
I don't think anyone's going to fall into a fit of lust over your shoulders. Mormons are so weird.
ya try 100. gah...
Love your blog - it's so bright and cheery and happy. I am weirdly addicted to Mormon blogs - the parties, the fashion, the lovely stories about faith and family. It's all so foreign to me but I eat it up. But clearly I am missing something - why can't you wear that cute sundress by itself? Does your religion say that your arms must be covered all the time? Another question for me to ask the Sisters when they come by (which they do a lot because I make Killer Brownies)
Love love LOVE those shoes!
