Father's Day

DSC_0006
Yesterday, my family and I went out to lunch to celebrate Father's Day. Being the terrible daughter that I am, I didn't take any photos with my dad or of the lunch. I even almost forgot to give him his present (a guide book on California, since we're visiting next month)! Like I said, terrible. My relationship with my father has been iffy since I was a kid, and he gets on my nerves quite easily, but yesterday was surprisingly enjoyable. We had a lot of laughs and a lot of Italian food, so I can't complain. My dad may say and do some things that upset me, but when it comes down to it, he's my dad, and everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

I wasn't planning on wearing this dress yesterday, but the outfit I had planned out in my head just didn't end up feeling right. The colors are a bit wintery on this dress, but I just decided to cut the long sleeves off the other day and I wanted to try it out in its new, warm weather version. I think I'll get a lot more wear out of it now!

Dress: Salvation Army
Shoes: Forever 21
Belt: Delia's

    What an adorable dress with a vintage-y silhouette! I know what you mean about having an iffy relationship with your Dad. :-/ But I'm glad the day was actually enjoyable for you and your family!

    Aw, you look so cute! I bet Betty Draper would be proud of your dress :D I'm glad you had fun with your dad. We're always annoyed by our parents but don't forget that they're like that because they love us so much! What am I saying...

    Awww! How sweet! I really love the short sleeves on this dress, you made it look perfect for Spring and warm weather!

    My dad is the same, but he works two jobs so he gets tired and grumpy. Hehe, gotta love dads :)

    AHHH! I love that you chopped the sleeves. Vintage dresses look so much more modern if you modify them. Stay classy gf.

    Looks like your relationship with your dad is very similar to the one I have with mine! But I am glad you had an enjoyable day dear :)
    I love that dress, and the short sleeves are great, nice thing you cut them!

    I think this dress looks amazing and don't really believe that colour palettes for the seasons are written in stone. Also love the look above with the tied blouse... every blouse I wear is tied at the moment!
