10 Dresses I Would Like to have a Picnic In
By Larissa Gill
As the temperature drops and the sun is making its way out of the clouds, we can only dream of spending our afternoons outside with a cup of tea in our hand and a good book in the other. A gingham print blanket, pastel tea cups, sandwiches and dreamy florals are all the necessities to have the perfect picnic, but the most important and cannot be forgotten necessity is your picnic dress, right? I am talking florals, gingham print, plaids, ruffles, and all the frills; it’s time to dress up ladies!
Now you might be thinking that I am asking you to rob your grandmas’ closet or tear up the local vintage store for your perfect frilly picnic dress, if that’s what your heart desires, go ahead, I won’t stop you!
Although, I do have some better options for you (actually TOO many options, that will have you wanting to have picnics all spring and summer, I promise).
Sit back, relax, and drink some tea because you are going to need it for all of these:

A dress that will make you want to run around in a field of flowers
Find it here.
A color as green as your grass
But I promise, the care manual is easier than a field of grass. Wear it and pour yourself a glass of wine a little now and then you’ll be fine. Find it here.
