Indigo-go-go-go

I wanted this dress for ages when it was on ModCloth, and was lucky enough to trade it with someone in a clothing swap group (I highly recommend finding and joining one). I thought I'd try it out today. I love this particular shade of cobalt. It's so vibrant and lively and somehow seems to work for every occasion!

(Apparently I had swimming aspirations)

Dress and necklace: Modcloth (no longer available, but they have similar ones, like the First Resort Dress), Belt: Gap, Tights: Target, Shoes: Born

I can't seem to stay inside right now, so I've been giving myself little breaks between cover letters, etc. Things are growing!

Did anyone else play that game as a child where you would ask someone "Do you like butter?" and then hold a buttercup beneath their chin so it glowed yellow? I was a big fan of that. I remember one friend getting really irritated and defensive in kindergarten because she insisted that she did NOT like butter, but I knew buttercups never lied. Rubbing dandelions on rocks to turn them "gold" was a good pastime as well. Goodness, f I keep getting this nostalgic I'll have a lemonade stand up by noon tomorrow.

Favorite childhood spring thing?

What's the name of the dress? I'm not sure if you tried to link it to the ModCloth product page, but the links just go to ModCloth's front page.

Hi Anna! The dress is no longer available on Modcloth (that's why I just linked to the homepage, because if you search "cobalt" or "indigo" you get some similar cuts), but when it was up it was called Indigo For It. The brand is Alythea, if that helps :)

Actually, I just found one that is of a similar collar shape/color-blocking scheme, but it is blue with green instead of tan--I edited the post to link to it, if you look at the outfit list again :)

Thanks Emma! Hmm, it seems like your new link doesn't work? Even if an item is no longer available, I like comparing how it looks on the mannequin to how it looks on the person. Maybe as a suggestion, you could link clothing that you know the name of to the product page or even just give the name of it? Just a suggestion though! :)

whoops, you're right! I fixed it now...had accidentally copy pasted some stuff that wasn't part of the link. That's what I get for not testing my link, haha

I don't always know the names, but I'll link for those I do from now on :). Thanks for the tip!

Thanks so much for your comments on my blog! I'm so happy to find yours, your adorable and so is your style! Are we in the same clothing swap group on Facebook? I think we might be :) I remember seeing someone put this dress up for swap and you're so lucky for snagging it. It looks great on you!

Oh, and in response to question about sponsors (I was going to email you, but couldn't find an address), it's really a combination of things. I really haven't partnered with too many sponsors so I'm no expert, but there have been a few that have contacted me and some that I've applied for. Places like eShakti and Shabby Apple reach out to bloggers a lot, and eFoxcity reached out to me too, but I applied to ones like August Wrinkle and Oasap. Most of them look at your followers and what type of content you have. Again, I'm really no expert, but I'm happy to answer any questions if I can!

Thank you so much :) love your style as well! You are right about the FB group, which explains why your name sounded familiar! Small (style) world.

Thanks for the info about sponsors and such! So I guess what it sounds like I really need to do is get more followers on here/bloglovin if anyone is going to see it. Also, I'm glad you mentioned there wasn't an email...I totally didn't realize and added one :).
