I wanted something simple there's that word again and fun today, so this cheapie new dress answered my fashion prayers. It makes me think that the weather outside is not also sunny but balmy, and I can kick up my feet as I lazily lounge on a porch swing and relax by the verandah with a sweating class of limoncello, i.e., my idea of grown-up lemonade, as any reference to a blackberry only revolved around some sort of pie.
Now if someone could just up the temp by about twenty degrees and gift me a great big ole victorian on a bluff overlooking the water with a porch and swing - and call Giada to make me some limoncello while we're at it - then everything would be all right for a Thursday.

This dress is adorable on you! Yah for cheap :)
ReplyDeleteI just bought the exact same dress for myself and my friend Farrah last week Lisa! I love it so so much and it is fabulous on you! I feel very Jackie O in it! I love it with the gray and red and will more than likely shamelessly copy you :)
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous! I'm so frustrated though, because I don't live near a F21 and I've been waiting for this dress to show up online for days :( I see it on the Love21 main page, but can't find it online :'(
ReplyDeleteI wanted that dress.. I saw it on the site (in the little ad pictures), but it was no where to be found to purchase. :( I haven't been to F21 in such a long time, but I think I may need to make a pit stop there this weekend. I need this dress!
ReplyDeleteYou look great Lisa. And if I've never told you, you have a beautiful smile! It's so cheery. :D
xx Love & Aloha
What a beautiful dress, I'm shocked it's from f21. And you look absolutely gorgeous in it!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress, you look fantastic in it! I can't believe that's from f21, I really need to take the plunge into the jungle.
ReplyDeleteOh, that dress is cuuute! I saw that lovely number online, but worried about the whole stripes aspect of it.
ReplyDeleteIf you get that Victorian with Giada serving you limoncello, I want an invite! :)
That dress is ah-freakin'-mazing on you. Love it. I'd like to come with you to that bluff drinking Giada's lemoncello please.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is beautiful. From the bachelorettes this past season to you in this number, I wish I lived closer to a F21!
ReplyDeleteoh i adore this look!
ReplyDeleteLove this dress (especially with the red/gray)! I am usually not a big fan of forever 21, but this dress may change that:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this dress, need this dress! I ='m off to F21 to search for it. Looks fantastic on you!!

Oh my gosh, I wanted this dress! But after I decided to buy it, I was super bummed to see it has sold out in my size online. I've yet to try the stores. You look so good in it!
ReplyDeleteVery Very Cute Dress :)
ReplyDeleteAHH!! I love it!!! You look gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is this dress on you! I love it Lisa. I wished there was a F21 store here.
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh, that is so cute on yoU!!! If only it was a little longer...all those F21 dresses are always so short on me! Love that cute bracelet from F21 too...and the shoes are the perfect finishig touch. Love it all!!
ReplyDeleteF21? Cheapie Dress? What??! SO CUTE!!!! It Could pass for Kate Spade! Love this darling dress on you! And the gray and red are perfection with it!
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn that was an Anthro dress! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that it was a F21 dress. It looks great on you. I can't believe the length is decent. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove that dress so much.......wonder if they have it in my store?!.....It doesn't look cheap at all btw!
ReplyDeleteLove that yellow with the gray cardi! So cute,

That is such a great dress and the length is just perfect on you! I can totally see you sipping some Limoncello on a front porch swing while wearing it. So cute!
ReplyDeleteomg lisa i HEART you in this dress!!! the title is so perfect.. you look like you're so ready for the summer :)!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is utterly lovely on you! It's making me wish spring would hurry up and arrive!
ReplyDeleteWow... hard to believe that dress is Forever21. When I saw it I thought it might be Antrho... very cool it's F21 because that means it was way more affordable. Looks great with the gray!
ReplyDeletestop the presses! wow- this is awesome, and looks awesome on you and we're all so awesomely jealous and happy for you right now...!
ReplyDeletegee, I have 2 forever21's now, and they certainly don't have this beauty...
That dress is so versatile! I love how it reminds me of yellow houses being painted that way. I know it's weird but I like it!

The dress looks adorable on you...LOVE!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

Aww!! you look just daring in that subtle yellow dress. Now let's call Giada! lol
ReplyDeleteJin,
Lisa, I love this dress. I will check my local F21 to see if we have it here. I love the neckline and the cap sleeves. It looks great with a little cardi too!
ReplyDeleteYou look so chic and cute. Oh How I wish I could wear F21 dresses without showing off my southern goods. They need to add at least 10 inches onto the length to make them right for me. You, however, are rocking this show. Perfectly.
ReplyDeleteLoving that dress - it's so springtime and fresh! Ah, to have F21 in Switzerland...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress and I seriously haven't thought the grey would look so good with it! need to try that color scheme sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThis dress looks so cute on you! I love how you added even more color with the red shoes, lovely!

Lisa that dress if beautiful on you! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis dress is beautiful on you, the colours are so lovely for Spring! I may have to get this one myself!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how the broad yellow stripes would like like on me, but I love this dress!
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks adorable on you! I just went to my local F21 and don't recall seeing that dress - I would totally snatch it up if I saw it. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely dress! You look beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute dress. I love the cut, it's so classic and the yellow is great.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is so cute on you! I love the colors.
