  You look gorgeous - as usual ;) I love Comrags too - this dress is perfect on you . No idea what the art challenge is but this is a great look. We’re having similar temps and I’m slowly dying .....even with AC .

  Amazing! I love the silver accents and they are perfect with the dress.

  Thanks, Lisa and Becky. Lisa, this is Sally's July challenge. I like these art challenges because sometimes they encourage me to try new combinations. Not this time, though -- this was tried and true blue!

  Oooh great dress Suz! I find the business of the pattern just as calming and a large swathe of color, but then I am on Team Pattern; the hem of course also echoes the water feel nicely. What are those fabulous earrings and do they come in gold? :D

• Suz replied 5 years ago

  Aida, thanks, and yes, you're right -- the hem is wavy! 

  And the earrings do indeed come in gold and many other colours! Here they are: https://www.nickelandsuede.com.....#038;Color 

  Inge featured the woman who owns this company once and a few of us linked to her site and bought the earrings. I got several pairs in different shapes and colours and I adore them in summer because they are lightweight yet make a statement and do not feel hot. She also makes nice leather cuffs and various other items.

  Oooh thanks for the link! I don't think I've ever seen earrings for sale with a "pick a size" option ;) What size did you get? I think I would probably need the L or else my hair will eat it.....

• Suz replied 5 years ago

  Mine are medium, I think. LisaP got them too. I can look it up -- give me a sec. 

  ETA -- yes, medium. I think medium would probably work for you also. They are quite big. Though maybe large for this shape, medium if you get the teardrop shape?

• Aida replied 5 years ago

  Ok thanks! The L teardrop looks quite a lot larger than the L of this shape, doesn't it. I think I'll measure against some of my other pairs when I get home. Thread hijack over, sorry!

  Fantastic outfit!

  The dress is perfect for the weather and the challenge- I am pleased you had a chance to wear such a great piece!  The dress does evoke the sea and the wind and water.

  I had two pairs of the Nickel and Suede earrings but I did manage to damage one pair - I must get the remaining pair out.  They are fun to wear!!

  Oh Suz, this outfit is breathtakingly beautiful! I am speechless.. You look amazing. Wonderful reference to the painting. You are sooo talented.

  Gorgeous! A perfect dress for the challenge and for hot weather. I hope it cools off at night for you. Wet-feeling sheets on a hot night are the worst.

  Gorgeous Suz! This dress is really wonderful on you . I love silver sandals echo your hair. Easy and excellent outfit for hot summer days. Enjoy!

• Liesbeth replied 5 years ago

  Lovely! The blue painting made me think of you immediately :). I want to try an interpretation of it with my winter wardrobe as it contains richer blues and I could include black for depth. All of that is covered in your amazing dress already and you still look summery!

  You look beautiful. I love that dress.

• rachylou replied 5 years ago

  I think you captured the floaty feeling to perfection :)

• replied 5 years ago

  OMG.  You have never looked more beautiful!!!!!!!   And yes, you captured the very essence of the painting.  

• Jenni NZ replied 5 years ago

  The pattern is so lovely, it is just like the balcony!

• Karie replied 5 years ago

  Sweet sister, what a gorgeous dress! It looks nice and cool for this ultra hot weather we’re having. Goes perfectly with the painting too.

• lyn67 replied 5 years ago

  Lover that dress and THE  metalic block heel cage sandals to it-look new and very curent, still wow!!!:-)

• JAileen replied 5 years ago

  Gorgeous outfit.

  We got to 97 yesterday. :(

• Christina F. replied 5 years ago

  As usual, you look stunning, and elegant for the heat to boot.

• Thistle replied 5 years ago

  So beautiful!  You look fabulously cool despite such horrible heat.

• Suz replied 5 years ago

  It's amazing how cooling blue is! At least it rests the eye. Today is not quite so bad -- 28C, and the humidity is a bit lower. But tomorrow it's going to rise again to 32C with humidity....

• Cardiff girl replied 5 years ago

  You look like an art work!and what a lovely dress for the heat .

• 3style replied 5 years ago

  Lovely outfit and.... I was just looking for an opening to ask you how you decide what an appropriate level of blistering in sandals might be. I was trying a new pair around the house this morning and loving the fit, and then lo and behold, it started to chafe pretty hard on my right big toe. I nearly never get chafing and I walk a lot. I’m inexperienced at judging what is normal, since I so rarely achieve perfect sandal fit, and mostly settle for a touch larger than I would like.

  ADORE this dress on you. This is the standard to which all your other dresses should have to meet. And I adore Comrags too - such thoughtfully designed pieces. I have a very few in my closet that I reach for again and again...

• Like the Season replied 5 years ago

  What a lovely, breezy dress. And the silver adds another cooling factor -- visually, at least!
