Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply Wrap Dress

Provence, that's what this dress makes me think of. It transports me to a garden full of fragrant roses, and I, wearing this dress, take a stroll, inhaling the sweet smell of pink roses covered in drops of the morning dew...
But since I am nowhere near Southern France, I, instead, smelled the ocean while wearing this gorgeous dress - trust me, it smelled just as good.
Maybe it is the ruffles, or its length, or simply its soft touches of blue and white, but I adore this piece of clothing. It may sound shallow, but it's the truth - we all have material things that bring us happiness, along with all the spiritual or whatever else makes you happy.
I found it, like 90% of my wardrobe, by chance and, even though it was a little bit pricier than what I would spend on a "casual" dress, I simply did not want to part with it.
It wasn't the name on its tag, it was the delicate fabric (and it is delicate), and the style that draw me to it.

I normally try to stay away from wrap dresses because I find it too easy with them to show more than I intend to, but some fashion tape took care of that.
I paired it with the ubiquitous hat and espadrilles (note: they run big so get a 1/2 smaller size) and voila the end result.
The dress is not available online but I found some equally beautiful dresses from the same brand, on sales, like this one, or and this gorgeous dress, or jumpsuit, if you prefer those.
