Visible Monday #136: The Floral Print Does All The Work

patti 56 Comments

Welcome to Visible Monday #136! If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Please be kind and leave a link to Not Dead Yet Style in your post.

There’s nothing easier or cooler than a summer dress. This dark floral shift suits me just fine. I bought it at Dalitika, an online second-hand store. Check them out, there are some good bargains.

The high-waist dress is by Eddie Bauer, believe it or not. It’s 100% cotton, hand washable. I’m wearing a two-charm necklace, my favorite dolphin hoop earrings (similar) and Anne Klein platform wedges (similar). Easy as it gets – the print does all the work.

The guitar hat, back by popular demand.
I really like my simple leather-strap watch from Target.

Now, show us what you’re wearing, Visible Women!!

  2. Pretty dress – so feminine and flattering! I like the nude shoes with it, too, because they don't distract.

  3. I'm a big fan of Eddie Bauer, actually. I found out at the Eddie Bauer Outlet that their clothes are guaranteed for life. So when you buy something new, you can save your receipt and return the item if a zipper tears up or anything else goes wrong. A good thing to know.

  4. Love florals! I'm wearing flowers too–quintessential summer look, eh?

  5. A great piece that can carry you through the seasons with just a quick change of shoes. Very nice!

  6. Hi'ya, Patti! Looking lovely as usual … charming retro look, adorable on your willowy figure. Classic, completely. I wore my little silver tank today as an homage to our great hostess … that would be YOU! So, thank you again, Patti. Much appreciated, the world around!

  10. Such a sweet dress. I love the color scheme.
    Thank you for hosting VM! xo

  12. You look delightful Patti. I do love dresses in the summer. So cool and easy, as you say. And have you cut your hair, it looks so cool and pretty too.

  13. Hurrah for another beautiful thrifted dress! Bookmarked Dalitika as I might find some gems there too.

    Thanks for hosting Visible Monday, I'm glad I'm back. Have not been regularly linking up although I keep your link in my posts, I just forget or miss the cut-off!

  14. Hi Patti!

    You have so many wonderful Ladies there – I try to check a lot of them!
    You look wonderful in your floral dress

    Lots of hugs to you

  15. thanks for doing this patti – i always find a new blog or two to follow by clicking on these ladies' pictures !

  16. That's a great dress! And I love a good secondhand piece. I actually just bought shoes from a thrift store yesterday quite similar to what you're wearing and am wearing a thrifted dress in today's post. Thanks for hosting!

  17. Your summer print dress is smashing and the metallic wedges have my vote too. Happy to see your guitar hat back on the scene!

  22. Your dress is perfect for your weather and for you. Looking fresh as always! Thanks for hosting the link exchange. I always find a new blog to follow each week.

  23. Another divinely pretty dress – you really have a great collection! Thanks for hosting x

  24. Hi Patti, I really love to see you in that pretty printed Flowerdress. Have a good time. Sunny

  26. Hi Patti! Hey, I've missed out on a few Visible Mondays! It's so great to be joining all the lovely ladies this week! And You! So pretty and feminine in your lovely floral dress. And Eddie Bauer?! Wow! Well done Seattle!

  27. Good morning Patti, in your nice dress 🙂
    I like it and think, that cotton is the best for summer. (I have a dress from Eddie Bauer too)
    Have a great new week and thanks for this lovely party

  28. I've not heard of this online site and will need to check it out. Have you used other used online website and have good experiences? I am all for easy summer dresses for the hot summer. Looking great as always!

  29. Lovely easy breezy Summer style! I too love your simply elegant watch. Thanks for helping us feel visible, to others, and to ourselves 🙂

  30. Such a cute dress! I have something similar but in corral — one of my favorite dresses.
    Thank you for the party. Always inspired by the participants' outfits.

  32. Lovely dress on you – the colors are so pretty. I have quite a few pieces from Eddie Bauer – I really like their easy going style!

  34. Oh, hello guitar! This is the best kind of air-conditioned clothing, a beautiful shift dress with flowers. And great shoes, also with air-conditioning. You get some great deals in the States with online shopping – sadly, shipping in Canada is like a bad reality show.

  35. So perfect, Patti! I too love a printed dress…it makes things so easy! I always try to wear prints around the kids…they are constantly touching me with their dirty hands! Prints hide stains well ; )

  37. Great Summer Floral Dress. Lovely necklace as well. =)

    Always a pleasure stopping by, friend. <3 Ada.

  41. I think that dress is absolutely gorgeous! I love the empire-line and pretty-detailed pattern. Such a shape always makes me think of Regency dresses. Great that it was a second hand bargain also! You're right of course- it doesn't need any extra details- it is perfect as it is!x

  42. We seem to have taken a similar turn this week, both in purple feminine looks! This colour is amazing on you!

  44. A gorgeous frock – a pretty print and flattering shape, I love summer dresses! You look beautiful. xxx

  48. Patti you look so lovely here! Such a sweet floral dress! I love the empire waistline, it looks so relaxed. Great shoes too – I love how the chunky wedge gives your floral dress a modern twist.

  49. Two fun minds think alike, right? Nothing is better than a fun summer dress, especially in a floral print. I want to borrow that cute little number. I seriously find myself pulling summer dresses over my head nearly every day lately.

  50. Lovely dress. I love browsing second hand stores or flea markets. Walked away with many a great find and the prices entice me to experiement with unusual for me things.

  53. Well, just a note for Fall,,, Dark florals (meaning the background color) is a trend for the upcoming season… It works well for Summer and the way you've styled it here!
    In the Fall a cozy sweater of jacket with tights and boots will make it very versatile… Love this look.
