Family pictures

Later today we are taking family pictures. My granddad is getting older so my dad really wanted to get professional pictures done so that we could have lifelong, tangible memories with him. This is what I will be wearing:

I really don't have good luck with online shopping. However, we just booked the photographer 2 weeks ago and I was in a bind and needed a dress ASAP! So I took my chances and ordered from my favorite store: Anthropologie. I was prayyyying the dress would look even half-way decent because I really didn't have time to go hunting all around town for something else to wear. When I tried it on I was THRILLED with how it fit! Praise! I was scared it would be too clingy or short [I am super weird about needing my maxi dresses covering my entire feet] but it was perfectly comfortable and the exact length I was hoping for.

When trying to decide what to accessorize with, I knew it would be flats. I never wear heels with maxis. That's just a no-no in my opinion. I also knew I wanted gold accessories to compliment the navy and cream dress. A necklace doesn't always go with an off-the-shoulder dress, so I decided on a chunky bangle and simple earrings.
