How to Wear DIY: Picnic dress on a picnic date! =)

• 6.04.2012

Over the weekend for a date night, inspired by the nice weather we've been having, husband and I went picnicking and managed to catch a few sun breaks--and I wore this dress, which always had a picnic-ey feel!  I've been waiting for the perfect place to wear it!

We bought some fun snacks and portable food and then walked around Laurelhurst Park, a big, lovely park in SE Portland, and enjoyed the pretty time of day and relatively warm evening weather.

We particularly enjoyed sitting by the little lake...

And, here's the dress in action!

Just barely needed the jacket, so for some of the evening I just wore the dress.  I got a compliment on it in Trader Joe's and someone asked me where I got it.  One of those proud "Oh, thanks, I made it!" moments... =) *blush.*

Jean jacket: Nordstrom Rack (similar). Bag: Wilson's Leather via Goodwill. Belt: Vintage, thrifted.

Earrings: Vintage. Shoes: Payless via Goodwill (similar, similar, similar). Dress: DIY, posted here!

I love this dress. =) Here's to more picnic weather sometime soon!
