Sheep Meadow

I was recently contacted by the kind people at Shabby Apple to review one of their dresses on my blog. Have you visited Shabby Apple lately? I'm convinced that their online boutique has the loveliest selection of women's dresses available all in one quick and easy shopping destination.


For my review, I selected the Sheep Meadow dress from the Central Park collection. Isn't the name utterly adorable? While browsing through the site, I was instantly drawn to the playful combination of white and kelly green stripes. That in itself would have been good enough for me, but throw in some subtle pleating, airy cap sleeves, and a navy blue sash and I went from merely interested to absolutely smitten!

I felt very ladylike as soon as I put the dress on. I think the full circle skirt had some kind of effect on me because all sorts of good ideas for wearing this dress began swirling through my head. An outdoor tea party! Running through a field with a butterfly net! Reading poetry in the grass!

I've been busy this past week planning a surprise party for a friend. Ensuring everything's in place and double-checking the details with my co-conspirators have been consuming my thoughts.
