the perfect sandals, the perfect dress



There were quite a few of you who asked to either tag clothing posts or write more about style. I don’t really “have” a style other than I believe you should wear whatever makes you look and feel good, and since I don’t like being photographed, there’s not much to tag! But I did buy this dress the other day. I don’t really wear that many dresses, but this one’s pretty perfect, don’t you think? I got it at Madewell, but I don’t see it on their website so I don’t know what that’s all about. Also these sandals…they are knockoffs, I guess, of Swedish Hasbeens that I bought at Urban Outfitters over the winter for about a third of the price. I know I’ll be wearing them almost everyday this summer. And the baubles – the smoky topaz ring I’ve had for years, the jade ring my mom recently gave me (don’t know if it’s real jade, but I don’t really care much about that stuff), the leather studded bracelet that’s perfect because it actually fits my skinny wrists (I have a hard time finding any bracelet that fits) and the earrings, one of my Odette NY birthday treasures. This is what I’m wearing these days. What about you?





That dress is so cute! I love Madewell and stripes. It looks comfortable too, and comfort is so essential in fashion
Oh–that dress is so cute on you! I have the same Odette earrings in rose gold. I’ve had them for a couple years and wear them constantly–they look so lovely in silver too. Looking good, lady!
Cute Dress!
love, love, love the dress. and the ring!
(the dress is sold-out. it disappeared from the site a few days ago)
love that dress, jenna! prettyyy.
adorable!! i just walked past madewell today, but didn’t stop in. i might have to go back and look for this dress!
Yup, pretty perfect!
So great! The dress is amazing!
Jenna, the dress if flippin’ perfection! LOVE it!
We won’t talk about what I’m wearing these days. Basic Pacific NW schlub.
Hmph!
I love that dress and the jewelry shot.
Almost all of my jewelry was given to me by my grandmother and my mother. I think it’s better that way
I have been enjoying your blog immensely since I discovered it last Monday. Thanks for your honest writing and wonderful photographs.
Love it-looks fantastic on you. These days I’m finding the weather confusing for getting dressed.
Love it, comfortable beauty!
I’m not sure about the shoes for me cause my feet are very narrow and thin…. but other than that, I’m tempted to steal the dress and all the baubles!!!!
Too bad we don’t have madewell in canada, boo
lovely, lovely dress!
and congrats on your mention in seriouseats today (http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2011/05/best-cookies-in-new-york-city-we-love-slideshow.html#show-152225)!
I love your style! I’ve been contemplating purchasing some swedish hasbeens for the summer…they look so cute on you.
Adore that dress. What a lovely cut and it fits you perfectly:)
Great dress! I actually went shopping for a stripped shirt today. I have this vision of stripped shirt, rolled up jeans and flats, but no shirt fits me right
And like everyone else, I love your style!
Pretty short hair you have, Jenna
Always a big fan of yours!
You look gorgeous in that dress! I also love your sandals, so your title is very appropriate I think
.
your outfit is too cute
and i have to say, i’m lovin’ your blog! i’m your newest fan! xoxo
Love the shoes! Love the dress! Looks like you are going to have a perfect fashionable summer
!
the cut of that dress is awesome! the stripes make me a bit dizzy though… but i might just have to try and make something similar for myself this summer.
we are having a bit of a cold spell in finland so i’m wearing anything i can! but i broke out a pair of ‘new’, vintage, suede, wine red shoes yesterday. they are very comfy and make me feel like myself like only certain items can.
I can’t seem to buy enough clothing with stripes these days, I just might have to pick up this dress. Looks great on you!
Definitely a lovely dress and is that short hair I see!? Loving it.
Awesome… Keep ‘em posts coming in. I love seeing what you (and your little cuties) wear on a daily basis… if that isn’t style, what is?
Hot dang, I love the dress! It’s the perfect cut. You look awesome!
Looking good. I am buying my first Swedish Has Beens after my next paycheck… they must be expensive there in New York and they are pretty expensive here in Sweden too but I am worth it (ok, I have a 40% off coupon). Love the dress and the green ring is awesome!
Lovely!
awesome dress. i just copied you and bought the same one. hope you don’t mind
Cute cute cute dress! You have a lovely figure. The shoes and accessories suit really well also.
Re: stripey stuff, I love stripey t shirts, I’m obsessed with them.
I love the dress. You definitely do have a style. And a new haircut (or am I late to notice) – really suits you.
You have awesome style. I loved all of your outfits that I saw you wear. I know that you really loved my pajama pants and moo moo shirt I wore while I sat on the couch and heckled Design Star.
Love that dress and those sandals.
that is the perfect dress! i need it.
WOW! Someone has an amazing figure and exquisite taste! You *seriously* need to wear more dresses! Gorgeous!
@Linda, thanks for the heads up on the Serious Eats article. Awesome.
@Sara, I believe I was wearing shorts one day at the lake, ha! And ok, i did covet your moo moo shirt, I won’t lie…
Pretty! The earrings are beautiful
You look so pretty in that dress!!!
I love how you capture life moments these photos. They are amazing!
Yay! Thanks for giving in to our requests. I keep hearing everyone talk about Madewell and have never been to the store, so I need to high tail it over there cause I haven’t been shopping in 329124 years.
Also, found the (your) dress on the website, here’s the link, so pretty: http://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/DRESSES/PRDOVR~41745/41745.jsp

Beautiful! I love those sandals:)
I love that dress! Lovely!
