Hello friends! It’s Wednesday, so that means it is time for the Create28 linkup! I’m back again with a pretty printed swing dress. Because that is how I roll. And I’m not sad about it. This damask dress was another one that has haunted me all spring/summer. It started popping up at a few different boutiques that I follow, but I never could decide if I wanted to buy it or not. I finally broke down and bought it when it was available on Jane. Because how can you turn down a good deal?
This dress is seriously a stunner. The colors, the swingy cut, and pockets (!!!) make it something that I know I’ll wear all.the.time. It will certainly be an all-season dress, just add layers! I went fancy for the first time to wear my new dress with a big pearl necklace from Mirina Collections. I’m always impressed with how much I can wear such a statement necklace.
If you follow me on Instagram (if you don’t, you should!) you probably saw this post about my creeper cat. That is what happens when you have a herd of cats and you forget to feed them before you try to take photos. Finally I gave up and took a few pictures with the little bums. Max (the black one) is the ultimate lazy cat. He literally plopped down right by me and just waited to be petted. Then of course you have the other cat in the background chewing on his tail #dorkycat

Thank you so much Shelbee!
yayayayaya…the cats made an appearance!! I want them all. Also the dress is totally you and totally fab too.
Thanks Deena! The cat herd feels pretty special when they get appearances 🙂
I love this outfit! I would totally wear this.
Thanks Alanna!
I love your necklace! I think big pearls are so fun, but I have a hard time pulling them off because I don’t have a lot of space on my chest for them. Also, you can never go wrong with a dress with pockets!!!
Thanks Rebekah!
Hehe, yay for cats in the pictures, they are too cute! Love the dress and even better that it was on Jane…I’m always scared of buying clothes on Jane, not sure why. I should just do it!
You totally should! I usually look for sellers that have their own models, because then you know that the sizes are normal and not crazy tiny.
Your Damask dress is so beautiful and I can see it work for so many occasions. I love the pattern and colors and the white classic pearls look awesome here. =) Well styled!
Always a pleasure linking up with you gals. Ada. =)
Thank you Ada!
GOOD LORD! That dress is stunning. Stunning. Stunning. Love those oceany colors. Is the damask heavy? It doesn’t look it at all, but somehow I associate damask with heavy fabric. You look amazing. If I had a damask room, I would want to wear this in it. Now I need this dress and the elephant dress. Gorgeous.
And pinned your little furry family on Pinterest. XO
Thank you so much Leslie! It is actually very light. Perfect for summer time.
the wedges are so cute. I have a thing for wedges. lol
Thanks Jasmine 🙂

What a pretty print, and POCKETS! Sign this gal up! Thanks for linking up some other Damask patterned items – I love that maxi skirt you linked and may be getting it soon 🙂
I really like that maxi skirt too, great choice!
This dress is SO pretty! And the kittens. Well, that might be my favorite part of the post. Haha.
haha, they do sort of steal the show 🙂
I wouldn’t be sad about it either. I love colour and patterns so basically I think I’d like to live in your closet, please!! And KITTENS??? Too much. I die.
It might be a bit of a tight fit in there. I leave no space behind when it comes to filling it 🙂
I LOVE this dress so much! It’s soo perfect for summer time!
Such a lovely dress, perfect for the summer. I really like the print and pockets.
