My husband and I enjoy finding unique places around our hometown to photograph. It almost makes us feel like we’re tourist on vacation, and it definitely has made us appreciate where we live a whole lot more.
This outdoor amphitheater (that we’ve never been to before) is a beautiful place not only as a back drop for this brightly colored dress, but the unique rooftop view was such a pleasant surprise that it had us daydreaming of a European trip.
Since this maxi dress is a little too long for flats or the block heels I’m wearing (last seen here), I decided to gather the bottom of the dress and tie it in a knot. Besides keeping me from tripping/getting the bottom of my dress dirty I also love the the unique detail it brought to my outfit.
Not only is this dress pretty, but it’s as comfortable as wearing a t-shirt, plus it has pockets which I’m always excited about when it comes to dresses.
Although I’ve worn these silver charm bracelets before here, the blue and pink accents on them seemed to match this dress perfectly. You can see the 4 styles I’m wearing from top to bottom here, here, here, and here.
This mini Coach purse (last seen here) is one of my favorites to carry in the summer thanks to its bright color. I love carrying it as a clutch with more formal outfits like this maxi dress, or it comes with a cross-body strap that’s perfect to attach and wear while running errands.
Even though I have a love for neutrals, surprisingly enough I gravitate towards pink a lot. I may have said this before, but I definitely consider pink more of a neutral for myself since it matches my skin tone so well. These pink sunglasses and shoes (similar here) have been on constant repeat all summer long.

This dress is adorable! I love that there’s elastic around the waist – too often maxi dresses will just look like bags on me. And I love the color! Looks amazing 🙂

I know what you mean! I do have a maxi dress without elastic that I always end up adding a belt to.

Finding new places in your own hometown is the best thing ever. You get to learn more things and see new places and just like you said appreciate your hometown even more. You are gorgeous. This dress looks soooo good on you and the pictures are amazing. I love this! Oh and the place looks beautiful too 😀

I know right?! 🙂 If it wasn’t for my blog I probably never would have taken the time to explore my hometown so thoroughly. I alway look forward to what new places we will discover while out shooting. I’m so happy to hear you liked the dress and pictures! You are too kind!

Thanks so much Erica! It’s such a pretty dress and the less than $18 price is just as nice. 🙂
