1st Find:

How absolutely adorable is this dress?  Talk about a throw-back, but OHMIGOSH!  This kind of look is super flattering on any figure, the color is perfect for all skin tones, and the neckline is classy, not trashy.  If there is one thing I can’t stand is an cute dress, but then the girls arehangin’out.  Ladies, a rule of thing is that if you have more than 2-2.5 inches of cleavage, then there is TOO much cleavage.  Make this your mantra: classy, not trashy.  Repeat it every time you go shopping!

2nd Find:

I love old architecture.  It is one of my absolute favorite things about homes and I love the worn look of this screen door.  Looking at the photograph, I can just hear a stampede of children running across the wooden planks of the porch, the creak of them jerking open that door, and the SMACK! it would make once it slammed behind them.  It reminds me of home.  Everyone needs a good screen door on the back porch.

3rd Find:

I am a quote collector.  I love finding inspirational words of wisdom (besides what I write on the blog!)  When I stumbled over this one, I kind of just…sat back.  It is profound; it truly is one of the things each of us must learn in our lives.  We spend so much time running from and hating the things we fear.  And we fear things that we don’t understand.  So why not understand?  Why not run headlong into the unknown?  Why not bust down the doors with all the attitude that Southern belles have?  I am challenging all my followers to go beyond the call of duty this week.  Travel in the direction of your fear and tell me about it! 

That’s it for the week, belles and beaus!  Be sure to check out the blog’s Pinterest for more pins!  And, if you follow me, but also you!
