Care Package

My mother and sister love to shop together. This is due in part to the fact that they live closer to each other than I do to them and well. . . they have very similar tastes. No matter the distance however, they always remember me. In any given bag you might find a cardigan, scarf or nightgown that has been hand-picked for their missing link. Over time, each piece is carefully tucked away until there's enough for a box and then off it goes.

This dress arrived about a year ago, along with a gift card to Massage Envy, a framed photo of all of us on my Mother's 50th birthday, and a couple of other little treats. If you're anything like me, you love to see the things that you've gifted and know that they're being enjoyed. So here I am. . .
Dress: Gap, Belt: Forever 21, Shoes: BCBGirls 'Wish'

Love the belt, it gives the pretty, soft dress a nice hard edge.
