It was the day right before my 14th year anniversary. My significant other surprised me by taking the day off work. It happened to be one of those wonderfully warm fall days. Slightly brisk in the morning and night, yet the sunshine was a warm hug.
We ended up spending the day walking around downtown, shopping and eating out. It was one of those nice and easy going days we wish we had more of.
Spending time with my favorite person, doing my favorite things and wearing my favorite lavender dress. All good vibes here.

I love a dainty necklace paired with a lavender dress. Thankfully, lavender pairs well with both gold and silver metals.
If you want to go for a rich and vibrant look, pair lavender with gold. Keep it subtle and sweet with silver jewelry and stay classy with pearl accessories.
I paired the Tulle Coquette Dress in Lavender Haze with a pink and purple crystal headband, a pink and white gingham crossbody bag, a dainty rose crystal gem necklace on a gold chain and pearl embellished flats.
