Accessories: Parks and Recreation

I wore this to a fun outing with friends as we strolled off to the park. It was a pre-holiday event for our close friends before they went off for a two month trip of leisure. But, I’m excited for them … between a few of us we’re also taking a rotation schedule to pet and house-sit for them during their expedition.

Each of us were to make a dish or prepare hor’devours, so we decided to make grilled zucchini as a side with roasted red pepper and broiled eggplant sandwiches with goat cheese, and homemade pesto generously spread across fresh baked crusty bread. Everyone knows that bread selection makes all of the difference! It was easy to make, yet an entirely satisfying and savoury plate.  But enough about the food!

I was in an accessory-loving mood so I paired this summer dress with stacked bangles, then added a gradiant bandana that I had forgotten about, and used my vintage silk scarf as a high-waisted belt.

The goods: Dress-Target, Vintage-Silk striped scarf, Orange leather belt-flea market, Braided belt-Love culture, Leather sandals-Mia, Bandana-Art market, Jewellery: necklace-F21/bracelets/bangles-Consignment, Charity shop,Gifted, Nordstroms. 

Have you had a summer foodie gathering recently?

    An example of how you have made a simple Target dress look so fun and stylish!  It shows your inner love for style and fashion.  And the food is making my mouth water.  Love goat cheese and eggplant combination.
