For the Birds
I know, I know, everyone is excited for summer and breaking out their best sundresses and prettiest pastels and planning what to take to the beach. However, all my complaining about missing out on fall 7 months ago has finally caught up with me. Fall has arrived here in Argentina (or at least it did this past weekend)! And I must say, this cold weather is for the birds!
It was a chilly, blustery afternoon when we were taking these photos. Cardigans, scarves and boots were a must! I was honestly freezing without my jacket on, but showing off this cute bird print dress was worth it. I’m not sure if I know what each bird featured on it is, but I believe we have some woodpeckers, wrens and finches, perhaps?
This dress has a super cute neckline on it too! Unfortunately, I was in between on sizes for this dress and ended up going with the larger size…and it is way too big on me. I’m able to hide it with a cardigan, scarf and my belt (my own belt, not included with the dress). However, if I were to wear this dress without all the layers, I would really need to get it taken in. So, pay attention to the sizing chart before ordering!
I had worn this dress for a walk to the Paraná River here in Rosario. My husband and I wanted to check out this park for my photos and visit some of the bars and restaurants that are along the river. And we found some really good ones! My favorite was Don Ferro. (If anyone comes to visit me, I’m taking you out to eat there.) It was hilarious too because we waited until 8:30 almost 9 pm before we went to that restaurant, and we were still the only ones there. Haha. (And it’s a BIG restaurant.) The locals didn’t show up until after 10! (Everyone eats very late in Argentina.) But it was still a great night, with good food and our Spanish is getting slightly better…which makes ordering a bit easier. 😉

I love a dress with birds! It would look perfect for any season too! There’s no way I could wait till 10pm to eat dinner, I’d be falling asleep! 🙂
Aw, thank you, Laurie! Haha, and I am just about falling asleep at that time! These late dinners are taking some getting used to. 😉
Ha, that’s why fall can never be my “favorite” season the way it is for so many others. It sounds nice but the second the weather drops I think it’s “for the birds” too! That is cool you are experiencing seasonal variety though, as you must have been in summer for what, a straight year? I remember living in Miami and having my internal calendar be way off when it was 75 in January and it felt like Halloween was “probably right around the corner.” ANYWAY, you look wonderful! I never would have know that dress is too big! Love the styling, and it will be nice to see some fall outfits as IG and blog world is about to be cluttered with sundresses! Thanks for the variety :-p

Haha, yep, it was a straight year of summer. And the cold never used to bother me, but I’ve certainly lost my tolerance for it after a year straight of summer. Haha. And right now, I totally feel like Halloween is right around the corner too, and I should probably start thinking about Christmas shopping! Haha. And aw, thank you so much, Lauren!
Yay for fall!! I absolutely love seeing more peeks of Rosario on your blog, too. And that yellow scarf and belt are the perfect accessories for this dress. They’re both such a great color: perfect for fall AND spring!!

Aw, thank you!
This is such a beautiful style . I really love your accessories. That watch is everywhere lately and I just love it so much 🙂 http://www.bauchlefashion.com/2017/05/summers-best-bikini-wishlist.html
Thank you so much, Heather! And oh yes, this watch has been quite popular. I really like mine, too! 🙂
Your dress is so lovely! I’m a huge fan of JORD wood watches too! It’s crazy it’s getting cold there, it’s almost summer here in Virginia!
Aw, thank you! Haha, and the opposite seasons are certainly taking some getting used to. 🙂
Very cute Dress, Lindsey. You called it with the wrens and woodpeckers!–There also looks to be a European Robin, European starling, and a Blue tit in your print. Def. a Euro-species origin. Good identifying!
And Oh how I remember those early arrivals at the restaurants for dinner. I once went out with friends for drinks, and we did not even venture out their door to walk to the bar until 1 a.m. I was yawning the whole time!
Thank you, Bryony! I’m so glad you like it! And I was hoping you would give me some insight into what types of birds are on here – thank you so much! 🙂 And oh my gosh, I can’t even stay out until 1 am, let alone start my night then. Haha. I don’t know how they do it here!
So cute!

Thank you!
I think that’s a pretty easy fix, Lindsey. At least for my recent dress from VIPme, I just took it in on the side seams and then it was perfect!!
What a fun dress…and do they get snow there??

That is good to know! That can be a project for the next time I visit my mom, as she has a sewing machine. 🙂 And thank you! And Argentina does not get snow I guess.. it just gets chilly and a bit rainy in the winter.
