I’ve been thinking Spring thoughts lately. They’re more like fantasies actually, since I live in Utah and Spring weather here is more unpredictable than a teenage girl. But it’s my thoughts that will carry my through to the warmer weather.

Take heart, even in California we're still chilly and cold. I love the dress too. It reminds me of a few that I just saw in my new Garnet Hill catalog!
I love summer dresses – I normally steer clear of long dresses b/c I'm so short, but this dress from Gap is awfully cute!
Holly Hannah, I didn't recognize you with dark, dark, hair. I had to look twice!
Hi, I just found your blog via Be Different Act Normal's blog. I love it. I will continue to read and added you to my blog roll. Deana
why, Why, WHY do they have to call Maxi dresses "maxi dresses"? It is sooo wrong! I <3 them but can just not handle the name at all :)
I think I need that hat. It would be perfect for my trip to Hawaii. Must go find it.
I love the dress, and I LOVE the hat ;D
I love those dresses. What are your thoughts on those long maxi dresses on short women? I'm not so sure I could pull off the look.
I love long, willowy dresses too! My husband recently went shopping with me (I know, he's rad) and picked out a dress I never would have picked out on my own. It is long and flowy and feminine. He loved it so much that I a fell in love with it too… long, soft, curvy, fem…a reminder that being a woman is a beautiful thing.
