So speaking from a Thursday stand-point, pre-wisdom teeth removal, I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat for 6 hours before the surgery and was to only eat soft foods afterwards, so I told Brett he better treat me to something yummy. So, of course that included a little diner for chicken fingers and fries and a homemade ice cream from Temptations! Mmm in my belly. The girl at the counter said, "What would you like?" and I say, "I want what that little girl has outside!" and she scooped up two scoops of delicious Superman. Mmm, one of my favorites!
So, this dress has three favorite things about it. The first thing is that it's named after my very favorite blogger, Delightfully Tacky. Second, it has an amazing open-back. Third, of course, you all guessed it - pretty, floral print! You just can't lose with this dress! I wanted to go for a romantic look - pairing it with pastel and light accessories. Plus, mixing patterns, of course, is another favorite of mine! The perfect dress for an ice-cream date on the boardwalk.

Sweet Temptations is so yummy. They handmake all of their own ice-cream and waffle cones. Plus, caramel corn, fudge, you name it. They have over 28 flavors of ice-cream! Yum! Typically I'm a soft-serve girl, myself, but I do love a good Superman, or Black Cherry or Cake Batter hard-serve once in a while too! Plus, it's a fun touristy spot in our town.
Well, have a wonderful Saturday everyone! I typically don't post outfits on the weekends, but I need to play some major catch up! There is a lot more swapping going on in the Delightful Dozen and I'm way behind on clothes from my busy, busy college days still! So instead of two outfit posts a week, you get three. Wooo, haha! Most fashion bloggers update their outfits every day! They're nuts! But accomplished! I'm lazy, and a neat freak, so I need to spend my weekends cleaning our dirty apartment. Hehe! Bye! xo

There really is nothing like semi-small town ice cream stores. Lovely. :)
We were up near the cabin in Backus, MN and had ice cream at Frosty's in Longville, MN...so good. And there definitely was Superman. My brother really likes Blue Moon, though...which is some sort of mystery (although Superman is no less mysterious, apparently! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_ice_cream)
Oh my goodness, I love it. That dress is adorable Tieka! You styled it so nicely too, especially with the ring and necklace.
Ahh, those ice cream flavours sound AMAZING. I'm jealous.
Hope you aren't too sore after the dentist!

Superman flavored ice cream sounds amazing. Love love your outfit.
I have the same ring <3 Supercute outfit! Why don't we have rainbow coloured ice cream here?
So cute! The icecream is putting me in the mood for something yummy. I may have to get a cone tonight!

Awww, such a pretty outfit.!
Sweet outfit! And the icecream is making me hungry for some right now. =)

The lighting is perfect here. You must have known your ice cream would go with your clothes, yeah? :) I hope everything with your wisdom teeth went smoothly.
The back of that dress is awesome!!!

Tieka, you are seriously making me crave icecream! Hmm, tomorrow.
Anyway I really like this outfit. I like how well the icecream goes with all the lovely pastel colors. I also admire how you mixed the prints. Must learn! Oh and the beads. A very unexpected touch but perfect with the outfit.
You look so pretty! Hope you're fine after the surgery!

Cute, cute, CUTE! Love the back of this dress; it's unexpected & awesome!
I love Temptations! This post makes me want to go there right now!! I hope the surgery went well! This dress is so cute! I love the floral and the tiers! Great outfit!
I always feel like I need to invest in more long cardigans like that! I love it!
love.
Florals and stripes are my favorite and are now on my MUST DO list for this weekend.
This post reminded me of my hometown, where Velvet Ice Cream (at Ye Old Mill) is made. I have the most fond memories growing up eating ice cream in the sun and feeding bread to ducks in the pond at the mill.

love it! i love that sweater especially, its so beachy!
lovely! your photos always make my day! :)
The Spoof.
These photos are sooo gorgeous, what a sweet outfit (and ice cream cone!) I think I might buy the Delightfully Tacky dress now that I've seen how great it looks!
Wow, almost your entire outfit is c/o Modcloth. It seems like every other outfit on your blog now includes Modcloth in some way - they succeeded in making you a walking advertisement for their company, that's for sure! I miss your original style, Tieka! I'm only posting this because I genuinely miss what you used to come up with on your own. It's not meant to attack you in any way! Your blog used to be so.....well, you! It just makes me a little bit sad. But despite that, your outfit sure is lovely. I love floral prints on you, they're so girly and cute and really compliment your attitude - you're always happy and smiling :)
that's such a pretty dress!!!! love the floral and the back details! :D

Beautiful post with such pretty pictures! I'm glad to follow you now. Looking forward to reading more! :)
lovely outfit, and the ice cream flavours sound amazing! good pictures as well :)
hope your dentist was okey.
aww you look adorable, perfect look for ice cream eating! I wasn't allowed to eat superman ice cream as a kid because I made such a mess of myself while eating it haha
You look adorable! I love the dress on you and the open back is really pretty! I love superman ice cream :) I was just at the store with Kyle and I wanted to buy some, but he told me I would never finish the giant tub of it. I should go get a cone :)
I love the back tie on that dress. How pretty :)

I love the delightfully tacky dress - so pretty, and looks fabulous on you.
Mmmm, superman icecream sounds awesome!!
Love the cute floral, of course - what's not to love?
Chic on the Cheap
I just love reading your blog! It's always so uplifting and you are so positive and make the best out of most situations. It's nice to read. I live in a psycho household with lots of fighting and screaming and coming here just makes everything better. Just hope you know how much you inspire people =)
I love your outfit. You are so cute! And the back of that dress is stunning! Now I'm craving some superman ice-cream.....mmm :)
Umm I totally want a scoop of superman now and I don't even know what it tastes like!? There is a really cute ice creamery in Santa Cruz - cute college beach town, I have to make a stop there every time I visit!
KeepItFvncy,
M.E.
cute dress!
give us an update on your teefs when you're feeling better!
Aw what a fun way to celebrate your last day of having wisdom teeth : ) And that dress is totally awesome!
Your ice cream looks yuumy! Ah, I love the detail on your dress! Looks perfect on you!!
You look gorgeous! Yay for ice cream! I'm an ice cream addict...in fact, Austin even has an ice cream festival coming up this summer! Hehe, I will definitely be going :]
You are the cutest, prettiest girl in this whole wide world !!
This dress is amazing, and you look amazing-er in it. :) I have those beads in two other colors. I wish I had found them in that color though. :(
Hm. Also I want to respond to what "Anonymous" said. I don't think that just because you wear a lot of a brand or are sponsored by them that makes you somehow lose your style. You take what they produce and you make it your own. It's still your style. You choose how you wear it, what you wear it with, if you layer it, if you belt it, etc. etc. No non-model girl wears and takes pictures of herself in something she doesn't feel comfortable in for the whole internet to see. Obviously you love their clothes (seriously who doesn't?) and it's something you would have chose for yourself anyways.
/rant. :)
get out of here with your cuteness :)
Your legs look great Tiek! :) We pale girls have to take care of our skin!!
Adorable dress, and I love how you've let your hair run wild in the summer! Its so natural and appropriate for this hot, humid season we're having!
I had my wisdom teeth removed on the same day!! How funny is that! I made my husband make me a huge juicy cheeseburger and ice cream after. I had all 4 removed. The top two we just pulled but the bottoms had to be cut out (all mine we straight and completely out of the gums but the bottoms had roots that were curving into my bone).
Hope you are doing well! It was the first time I was ever under anesthetic and I was scared.
Mmm chicken fingers and fries my favorite! I work at an ice cream place, but alas it is a Dairy Queen and we rarely get crazy flavors such as this in! I've been a black raspberry person lately!
I really love this dress too! I saw it on Delightfully Tacky and thought it was the perfect floral pattern, and it looks amazing on you too!
mmmm! i haven't craved ice cream much this summer until just now!
i love the stripes + florals look .. you have it down pat!
hope your mouth is healing quickly-- no dry sockets!
You made me just crave Superman ice cream. Now I have to go on a hunt.
Your dress is absolutely adorable. I love the print and the back cut out.
I can't believe your face isn't swollen at all! Lucky you. I like the site redesign too, I was a little confused and lost at first, ha.
I hope you're just taking a little breather from blogging just to relax but that things are alright with you. Have fun eating all the ice cream you can handle this week. I love how you "styled"/licked it in the second pic.
You look great as always!

I hope you are eating lots of ice-cream as part of the healing process! I love your how you math the ice-cream, too sweet!
I would love nothing more than some superman icecream right now! Its so funny, I have a skirt in the exact same pattern as this dress that I bought here in Australia just a little while ago, this dress is so adorable though! I love the back - so flattering! I hope that you're doing well Tieka..and that your mouth is healing quickly! have a great week pretty lady!
I ALWAYS read your blog and I think this is the first time I post a comment! I don't know why in the world I've never done it. Anyway, I love your outfit. It's simply fantastic and those wedges! Man, I've been dying to get those, but I was unsure about how will they look and now I know and I am definitely buying them! I hope all's well with your wisdom tooth (I believe it was one, right?). When the dentist took my 4 teeth out (yeah... so horrible) I tried eating cold things and it helped for the scars to go back to normal! So... enjoy the ice cream :)!
The best date ever always ends in ice cream and kisses, I was once told :)
And i'm a firm believer!!!
This dress is SOO cute. Everything you own is, actually. But I love the back on this dress- so darling!!
I'm in love with your hair.
Love,
Maggie:)
