50 tea for tessa December 8, 2009 at 8:23 am

GAH! Adorable. I really like how the simple use of one look can add so much elegance and allure. Ruffles are great and these are all well placed "Hey I'm not three anymore" ruffles. I love the stuff in navy blue and some of the tanks on her page.

It's also great because it's a little longer and can get away with wearing this a number of ways.

Hope all is well!

51 Alicia December 8, 2009 at 8:29 am

oh lady!! yay for the beautiful summer! i can't wait to go check out your post! but you know what…i can't stop wishing for better tatas so i could wear that amazing top!! lol….love you tons and hope you're having a better day! :)
