OUTFIT: BLUE AND WHITE ON THE BEACH

I visited my parents in Connecticut the weekend before last and had the best time working on wedding planning and playing only child for the weekend. 😉 We ate lobster rolls and ice cream, watched the Olympic trials for gymnastics, went for walks on the beach… It was pretty much the perfect New England summer weekend if you ask me and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t make me rather homesick for both my family and where I grew up. There’s just something about being by the water that instantly relaxes me, whether it’s a beach day or just a stroll out to the pier.

I wanted to get my mom’s opinion on this breezy bohemian dress as it’s a little outside my comfort zone, both in terms of the cut and the print. I might be 26 years old but my mom’s seal of approval when it comes to wardrobe choices is still paramount! Thankfully she loved it and insisted we take pictures on her favorite stretch of the beach where she and my dad often take walks after work. It made me happy to see one of their new favorite places and know that they’re settling into empty nester life just fine!
