I’m old enough to remember flannel being popular and then fading away. Now it is back. I usually associate it with winter.

But this lightweight dress was such a steal at our local Nordstrom Rack for $30, regularly $148 (slightly similar dress here). I knew I could wear it in the summer and it would also carry over nicely into the winter. I cannot wait to pair this with some denim. The dress just screams for it.

We found the coolest spot for pictures.

I had forgotten to bring my gnome I want to have in at least one picture in each of my outfit posts. And we were far from gnome.

So, I drew one.

His name is Max. The ants seemed to like their new friend.

Do you remember the grunge look? I was never into it. Still am not. But this dress has such a feminine spirit, I appreciate its roots.

Do you have a love affair with flannel?

Me, too.

Shhhhh. Don’t tell Max.
