i don’t usually set out to dress super girly, but sometimes the mood just hits me. and i’d like to think that my short hair cut allows me to go over-the-top feminine without looking too much like a creepy doll. i recently bought this silly dress with strategically placed hearts after i had spent months lusting over a particular vivetta blouse with the same motif. while the vivetta blouse was a bit pricey for the sake of experimentation, this dress seemed like a nice compromise. it took me about a month to muster up the courage to actually wear it, but i finally found myself in the mood to try. since the dress makes quite the statement, i decided to keep everything else simple and monochromatic. but just as i was about to step out for the day, this floral headband by lou lou loves you peered it’s pretty petals out from the top of my shelf. lou lou was kind enough to send this to me over the summer, but somehow it was another one of those pieces that managed to elude me for far too long! so here i am decked out in hearts and flowers, ready to ring in the new year like a silly little cupid.
headband: lou lou loves you
dress: tofu dress
tights: tabio 110 denier tights
coat: nick & mo swing coat
brooch: vintage hand brooch, gift from my mom

I think you look fabulous with short hair! And I definitely agree with the whole feminine thing. Sometimes I wish I could just chop off all my hair, haha, so I don't look too girly. That is the cutest skirt and headband! And I love the hearts. ♥
Not even kidding; I bought a loulou loves you flower crown last night. How does this happen?
You look so sweet though!
hehe, I'm sorry, but with those big eyes, you look exactly like a doll! Having said that, I think I'd hate this dress on anyone else, but you do give it the right amount of oomph!
I love seeing you in a girly outfit! The hearts are too cute, and that floral headpiece is lovely, too. I heart you!
Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Very cute outfit ;)
You totally hit the point, that's why I love my short hair too :D
Wish you all the best for 2011

This outfit is so sweet. I'm inspired to wear more flowers in my hair. Love the headband. Happy New Year!
if anything, you brought the new year in an in festive manner. the headpiece is absolutely beautiful.
I think you totally made the right decision getting he dress :) The shirts are lovely but expensive and this dress is just perfect on you! Happy new year sweetheart. x
Oh I love it! This outfit is so fun!
There was this how-to in the kid's section of marthastewart.com that taught how to make little hearts to go around buttons, but it looked silly. I'm going to try it again with a different shirt. Oh, here's the link: http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/valentines-day-projects-for-kids#slide_22

You do look ultra feminine but not too "sweet". It's the perfect amount of pretty.
