My in-laws are in town & staying with us for a while, which means that my husband & I finally get to have another date night (our last one was 2 months ago). Since the weather is so warm here, I chose a breezy, feminine look for our dinner out. I love this mix of textures, with the metallic crochet and flowy pleats…and I finally decided to try this milkmaid-style braided updo, which I have a feeling will be my new favorite for the summer.
What I’m wearing:
Casual Everyday Neutrals
Gift Guide: Have to Have
Pastel Palette
Statement Plaid
As a huge fan of crochet, I have to say this look is phenomenal. Your photos are incredibly gorgeous! Hope your weekend was very enjoyable! Date night is always something worth dressing up for!
You look so gorgeous, esp. on the last photo!

Love your dress, the pleats are gorgeous 🙂
Hello! I love everything about this! First…. you are a beautiful girl! I love this lace top over the pleated dress. The neon popping through is so fun. I LOVE the hair and can't wait to try myself. I wear a little braid regularly, myself, but this is really fun. Fingers crossed I can figure it out?… Tutorial?? Lastly, is that you I saw in Inspired by InStyle wearing the green pleated neon skirt in my Instyle magazine?? Love all the barn pics… you live on a farm, I presume?? Lots of questions, I know…. sorry!! 🙂
