Safari So Good

The print on this dress delights me to no end:

 

I mean, what is more perfect for summer than a tropical safari print?  That’s right, nothing.

When I thrifted this dress the other day, I couldn’t wait to wear it.  I love the print, I love the cut and I love the pockets:

 

Pockets!!

Best of all though, this dress provides the perfect frame for my new “Alegro” name necklace courtesy of Onecklace:

I actually love this necklace.  I wasn't sure that I would as I tend to go with heavier jewelry, but this delicate piece is perfect for summer.  And it’s honestly just really pretty.  I've worn it repeatedly since receiving it.

Bohemian Polka Dot Safari

This outfit makes no sense.  None of the elements really go together except color-wise:

Top: thrifted Foxcroft  Vest: Old Navy  Jeans: Banana Republic  Sandals: Jeffrey Campbell

Or, maybe it would be more appropriate to say that some of the elements go with each other, but all together they're a bit of nonsense.

I mean, there are polka dots, there is a safari-ready vest and there are bohemian elements in both the shoes and the necklace.  This necklace:

I think it's the necklace that throws the whole thing.  Even the sandals would probably be okay, but the necklace doesn't quite fit, even though I'm pretending it echoes the polka dot motif of the tunic.

But, the truth is, if I had followed Coco Chanel's advice and removed one thing before I left the house, it wouldn't have been this necklace.  In fact, I'd have ditched the vest.  I'm a little iffy on this vest anyway, not just solely in the context of this outfit.  But the necklace makes me happy even if I do sound like a rather large house cat due to the chiming of the fringe.

Happy Thursday, All!
