Can you believe Black Friday was six weeks ago already?!? I didn’t do much shopping, but I did order the Donata-Lee dress from Miss Candyfloss’ 2024 spring/summer “Viva Rita” collection for an absolute steal! I finally got around to wearing it, and it’s a fantastic piece!

It may be a summer dress, but a little thing like that won’t stop me from wearing it all year long. To make it a little more cold weather friendly, I paired it with a Yemak cropped cardigan and a pair of ankle boots.

I accessorized with a Meteor Jewelry Co. necklace, an Erstwilder brooch, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles:

I love the punch of color from the cardigan (even if it was pointed out to me that I’m wearing the Chicago Bears’ colors!).

As always, Miss Candyfloss does peplums well…and you can get a closer look at the lovely plaid!

Here’s a better look at the bodice of the dress with the cardigan:

And a few photos of the dress without the cardigan, too:

This purchase has me looking forward to the next collection…I can’t wait until it’s revealed!
