Pale Pastels

 photo pale1_zps050bf754.jpg
Good Morning Loves!! I hope everyone had an absolutely wonderful weekend, mine was really great. The weather finally turned around here and it was so beautiful and warm, mid 20s (celcius) and the sun was shining. I spent a lot of time with friends on patios and walking Mr.Duke around when I wasn't at work.
I was struggling what to wear at the end of last week when a package arrived at my door with my swap with Jessica of Midwest Muse with this dress is in. How absolutely perfect for spring!!! I love the pale floral print and it even has a little cut out in the back. I'm smitten with it (haha) and have a couple other ways I want to try to wear it before I have to send it off again. I loved the way it worked for a casual look with my denim jacket and more pastels with this mint purse.
Ps. How shocked are you to see my bare frickin legs?!

Duke is always trying to steal kisses (or eat my nose, his motives have yet to be determined)

  1. Such a pretty dress! And I'm glad to read that you had a great weekend - mine was so busy (a wedding and then hosting a surprise baby shower for a friend) that I feel like I never got a chance to enjoy the weekend and relax.

  2. Mr. Duke is quite the ladies man with all those kisses! I'm loving you in pale pastels though. The perfect way to transition from the winter into the spring! I might have to borrow this dress next. ;)

    And you're making me think of getting yellow nails. I keep thinking it would look strange on me but now I'm rethinking it!

  6. This floral print is so pretty, especially with your minty bag! This is probably really sad, but I don't know how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit in my head so I never know what temperature you are talking about! But if you were able to have bare legs, its must have been fabulous!

  8. Aw puppy kisses! Sweetest thing ever. I can't get enough of silly cute Mr. Duke. This dress is gorgeous! There's just something about a pale color palette and floral together. It's just so whimsical and romantic! You look perfect :) And I knew something was different! You do have bare legs! Haha.

  9. I love how the colors are more muted and subdued. It's so dainty and pretty! How lucky that you can go bare-legged! I'm still waiting for some warmer temps.

    I absolutely love the floral dress, such a perfect mix of pastels on the print! And there's nothing better than a cute denim jacket with such a dress! Lovely look Jenna!

  12. You look so lovely :) The floral print balances with the toughness of a leather jacket well.

  16. Aren't clothing swaps the best? It's the easiest and cheapest way to have something new to wear :) This floral dress is so cute, especially with - gasp! - bare legs. I can't believe how warm it's suddenly gotten in all of Canada. Spring started a little earlier here, but we're definitely easing into a bit more :)
    xox,

    PS: That last picture of Duke is just hilarious! Love.

  20. I am always in awe of how perfectly you mix your accessories, nail color, and outfit to create the prettiest ensembles! This one is no exception - what a sweet little floral dress and oodles of gorgeous accessories from the bag to the bracelets! Those photos of you and Duke are seriously making my heart skip a beat :-)
