A Romantic Dress From Francesca's

There is the most beautiful field of sunflowers growing along side the highway we take to church every week.  I asked my husband if we could stop and take some pictures one Sunday, because I LOVE sunflowers!  They are my absolute favorite fall flower.


This gorgeous dress is from Francesca's.  I went to the mall last week to pick up some lotion from Bath & Body Works  and ended up coming home $150.00 poorer because of Francesca's.  But I couldn't help myself!  They had an amazing sale that I have never seen Francesca's do before.  Every clothing item in their store, no matter what the original cost, was $20.00 as long as you purchased them in increments of two.  And their jewelry was on sale too!  Only $10.00 for anything if you bought in increments of two.  I left the store with 3 dresses, one top, and six pieces of jewelry!  Not bad for only $150.00


The dress is a vintage/romantic style.  It has a tie in the back neckline with a large V Shape opening.

My black straw hat is old.  I think I picked it up at JCPenney.


 I love the color and print on the dress.  I like the vertical line of the flowers, instead of having a flower print scattered all over the dress.  There are also beautiful tropical birds on it in addition to the flowers.  I'm a huge bird lover, especially tropical birds, so the bird print is a huge plus for me!


The champagne fringe and bead bracelets were also purchased at Francesca's.

I wore gold rings, and carried a blush clutch (old, Charming Charlie's).


Because the dress is on the short side, and I was going to church, I wore burgundy flats (old, Express).


These old pink earrings have been in jewelry box for ages.  They went perfect with this dress!






It was warm the day I wore this dress, but I can't wait to style it for fall with a kimono or cardigan, booties, or leggings/skinny jeans underneath.





The dress is still available HERE and the bracelets are still available HERE.

Have a Great Day!  Amy

  4. Pretty dress. Not many ladies (of any age!) can look a natural in an above - knee. You, dear Amy, are one of the very lucky few! Great backdrop to your pics, BTW. Hope you had a great break,x

    1. Thank you! Ha-ha! My legs are the only part of my body that are still skinny...so why not wear short dresses/skirts? I actually tried this dress on with white skinny jeans and I never realized how short it was till I got it home. I still wore it alone a couple of times, but I look forward to styling it with pants/leggings as well when the weather cools.

  5. What a beautiful setting for a beautiful dress Amy. I wished I could find a plot like that full of sunflowers. It's good to have a splurge sometimes, especially when there are bargains like that to be had xx

  7. I love sunflowers! What a gorgeous place for a photo shoot! We actually drove by a sunflower field in Wisconsin once when we visited in August - it was in the Devil's Lake State Park area by Wisconsin Dells. I have never seen any fields like these here in Illinois.

    Beautiful look! Loving the dress!

    1. Thanks Elli! We are blessed with sunflower fields here in Wisconsin. I know of at least three of them nearby. I can't believe you've been to Devil's Lake! That's my favorite state park in Wisconsin! I hope to make it back there this fall!

  9. Such a beautiful dress, Amy! You look adorable in this with your hat and flats. I almost went into Francesca's last week, but steered clear. Now that I know about this amazing sale I am kicking myself!

    1. Thanks Jennie! I know the feeling! I usually stay clear of this store myself because it's too tempting, but when I saw the sign outside the door, I couldn't resist!

  11. What a pretty dress. And how fabulous that your straw hat, old earrings and burgundy flats worked to complete the outfit. Just precious. And your backdrop is almost as lovely as you are.
