13 Aug Turning Heads Linkup – Palm Dress and Straw Clutch for Summer
Hi friends!
Today I am wearing one of my favorite dresses from my closet, a palm green dress that reminds me of our trip to Savannah a few years ago, as I bought it in a boutique there.
The Outfit and More
I just love palm prints and fruity cocktails both of which reminds me of summer, or that tropical local I wish to visit. On that note, has anyone seen House Hunters Carribean? I used to watch House Hunters on HGTV often before we bought a house, and I came across this the other day. A couple moving to Belize from Atlanta, starting a new life. It’s fun to watch!
Back to the dress. I loved the vibrant print and the no-iron capability with this dress. I’ve packed it on vacation and love to pair it with straw or rattan accessories and espadrilles. Here I am wearing platform tan espadrilles by Steve Madden, I bought last year on DSW. One of my favorite straw clutches from Mango changes up the look from the round rattan bag I have been carrying often.
On this afternoon, puppies were with us, as we got a new/used Lexus in Bamboo Pearl. The sound of it kind of goes with my palm print doesn’t it ? 🙂 A light sage green color with a metallic sheen than can look silver in different lighting. Hubby and I found a great deal on a used car that was kept in excellent condition. So, as I mentioned in yesterday’s post, our other Lexus’ air conditioning conked out, and we weren’t putting any more money into the car. It took about a month to find one. So, we got lucky and after looking at two, the second one came home! We now have air! Praise the Lord!
We picked up my Fender USA Strat at the shop, as it was set up and ready ( begging) to be played. All of my guitars are now set up professionally and I am back to playing After many years of not being able to play, with my condition, I am sitting down to play. I do feel like my fingers are all thumbs, but it will take practice!
I’ve kept it simple with my accessories today, and in the summer I wear less in general. Pine green drop earrings bring more color to the look and the straw bag is a nice change.

Posted at 11:31h, 13 AugustLove the palm print and style of your dress. I too have a similar pair of sandals to the ones you are wearing, they are so comfortable, which is a real bonus!
Fabulous that you play the guitar. I don’t play myself but, my hubby is a musician who plays lead guitar. Great that you can start to play again. Enjoy!

Posted at 08:18h, 13 AugustConsidering I used to work in the Caribbean and have lived in Florida for many years, I can’t help but love palm trees and palm tree prints! They always conjure images of the relaxed resort lifestyle. Your dress is an excellent example. And the fun accessories perfectly complete your chic tropical inspired look.

But most importantly, I am super excited that you are back to playing guitar! YAY! It must feel a lot like “coming home” to be back at it. I am so, so happy for you!

Posted at 07:51h, 13 AugustThe Palm Dress is perfect. I have shoes similar to those and just love them. They go with so many things.
Glad your back to playing. Yes, those fingers will be sore for a couple weeks but worth it.

Posted at 05:31h, 13 AugustThat’s a beautiful dress. I love palm prints too. I’ll have to look for house hunters Caribbean. I really like those shows and I watched a similar one about people looking for second homes at beach type locations. I really liked that one, but I can’t remember the name of it.
