Yesterday we had a warm and summer-like day (sunny, 80 degrees) and my BFF had her 50th birthday party. I decided it was the perfect opportunity to break out the Anthro maxi dress, which I predict will be a summer workhorse. So comfortable and easy to wear -- slip on a cuff and a pair of sandals at it goes almost anywhere. I might have it hemmed a half inch -- there were a couple of times that I felt myself standing on the back hem, since I was wearing flat sandals, and I don't want to be restricted to wearing heels with this.

The clutch is maybe a little too tweedy/wintry in texture for the dress, but I liked the color with it. No one saw it anyway since it stayed stowed for the entire duration of the party.

Dress from Maeve/Anthro, sandals Donald J Pliner, clutch French Connection, and I think the bracelet came from Nordstrom a few years ago. And my mom's silver peacock ring.

Bonus photo of the amazing cakes one of my friends made for the occasion -- they are my BFF's two Russian blue cats.
