Accessories: Parks and Recreation

Sunday

I wore this to a fun outing with friends as we strolled off to the park. It was a pre-holiday event for our close friends before they went off for a two month trip of leisure. But, I'm excited for them ... between a few of us we're also taking a rotation schedule to pet and house-sit for them during their expedition.
Blogger Festival attire

Each of us were to make a dish or prepare hor'devours, so we decided to make grilled zucchini as a side with roasted red pepper and broiled eggplant sandwiches with goat cheese, and homemade pesto generously spread across fresh baked crusty bread. Everyone knows that bread selection makes all of the difference! It was easy to make, yet an entirely satisfying and savoury plate.  But enough about the food!


I was in an accessory loving mood so I paired this summer dress with stacked bangles, then added a gradated bandana that I had forgotten about, and used my vintage silk scarf as a high-waisted belt.

Have you had a summer foodie gathering recently?

    I really admire your creativity, the way you've used your scarf as a high waisted belt is very smart and it works so well, at first i thought it was part of the dress! Anyway your outfit is stunning, love the colours! :)

    Hope you have had a good weekend. Take care, Daniella xox

    The trip sounds awesome, but it's also fun to house-sit for other people.  It's like a mini staycation of your own! :) You look amazing, I always love the way you layer accessories.
