Bandana Print | a Perfect Fall Print
When I think of fall – I think of scarecrows, hay bales, and all things pumpkin. I also think of red bandana print – either as a neckerchief or now in the most adorable silhouettes. When I was little, my grandmother made my cousins and me tons of dresses. One of them was the most adorable bandana print pleated mini skirt. I paired it with my little red cowgirl boots and a white tee – boy did I think I was something!
Isn’t it funny – when you’re young you’re not so concerned about what’s on trend or fashionable, but just something that looks pretty and makes you feel like a million bucks? Some of my best memories are twirling around in clothes my grandmother made me – or the time I spent with my grandmother sewing and crafting. Those were much more simple times.
I’ve yet to find a bandana print item until I wandered across this dress. The smocking reminds me so much of my little skirt from way back when. The fit is amazing and super stretchy, yet flirty! I still have such a color crush on red – I wouldn’t be mad if I wore it everyday! Remember this red look?

Nice glamorous photos
This outfit is so beautifully put together. Love the shoes so much. Classy and elegant at the same time and definitely versatile. You look gorgeous.
This dress is so perfect! I love how feminine it looks, but it could easily be totally dressed down for a causal outfit. Plus, how fun are those earrings! The black and white looks great with the print of that dress. Also, props to your photographer, you look incredible!

How sweet and meaningful that you found this red bandana print dress! It’s so sweet that it reminds you of childhood times with your precious grandma. I’m sure you twirl and feel just as pretty as you did with her back then š
You look stunning in that dress Tara! I love the heels and earrings, your whole outfit is just beautiful.
Your grandma was so sweet for creating those dresses for you. This story reminds me of my grandma, and how she always wanted to accessorize my hair with cute bow ties. Miss her so much. Thanks for sharing <3
Love this dress Tara, althogh I’m not sure I’d be able to pull it off as beautifully as what you have š I can remember my Gran making cloths for us too. In fact I still have one that I passed down to my daughter when she was little. Hopefully she’ll can do the same one day when she has kids.
This dress is so cute! It looks great on you! The shoes & purse really pull the look together.
This is such a beautiful color. It is making my day bright on this cloudy morning. The dress and color looks great on you.

Its wonderful that you’ve so many fond memories of your Grandmother and that she’s still inspiring your wardrobe today! I can totally agree about twirling around in garments that gave ‘the fabulous feels’ – I think you look absolutely beautiful and this dress is prefect on you!
I wish I could wear heels like that! You look gorgeous. My amiles are a bit weak after falling on the streets of NY years ago so I have to stick to a thicker heel like wedges otherwise I’d love to wear those shoes!
That’s beautiful dress, but I am in love with that purse! I have never seen purse like that before.
