It was hot this past weekend in Michigan! I was all about cotton dresses. I actually scored this dress at the Texas Style Council Conference clothing swap last March. I lost the tag though, so if you know who owned this dress before I did, let me know! I always love seeing how different bloggers style the same article of clothing. This dress was so easy to wear too. Of course, I love my floral prints, cut-out details and accents of red.
I keep thinking about how my blog is probably going to change a bit this summer and I'm okay with that. I've had such a "Michigan" focus on my blog for so long. I'm guessing I won't be taking as many trips and excursions this summer and I'm actually happy about that. I'm ready to explore this city more, take time off from traveling to and from places for blog posts and ready to get creative in other ways. Not to say I won't be taking a few fun trips this summer though!
Also, my band is playing our last show in Ravenna, Michigan on Saturday, June 2nd if you're in the area! We're playing a show called Fest, Fest and we're playing quite early in the day... 4:35 p.m., I believe? I'm a bit sad to be saying goodbye to Circle Maybe, but it was so much fun while it lasted. I have plans now to continue music with other friends. Hopefully something a bit more folky or acoustic-ish. I will, of course, keep you guys tuned!

Aww Tieka, these photos are beautiful! Love the yellow background. I'm excited to see more photos of your city and also for your new band adventures. I think Folksy/acoustic will suit you.

Aw, how I love this post Tieka... and I totally remember that dress!! Yay, Austin! ;) And my goodness, your hair looks seriously beautiful! I’m loving the side swept bangs!! I've been tempted to do the same now that the days are getting hotter!
Can't wait to see what the summer season holds for your blog, I'm certain it will be fabulous... and yes, keep us posted on your music!! You're such a talented lady! xo

Your outfit is so cheerful and happy. Really makes me smile. Love the yellow background, really makes your dress and shoes "pop".

Haha when I read that your band is going to play in Ravenna I obviously thought about the Ravenna here in Italy, and my heart skipped a beat :)
You look lovely though, I adore the cut-out details of the dress <3
Life is a romantic poem
I absolutely adore this dress especially with the cut out detail at the back! I can't wait to see what your blog has to offer this summer. Also, how amazing is your hair in this post? I must admit I have a little hair envy right now haha! Hope you have a lovely week, Tieka!
such a cute outfit, that dress is so, so pretty and I love those adorable red flats, they're lovely :)

Phwooooar - a yellow wall. Great find. You can't wrong with that behind you. Mind you, you never get it wrong! Cutey-patootey as always. x
Such a cute dress!
the dress is just adorable. it flatters your figure and skin tone too! i love how you took photos with the big yellow walls. it spices up the whole look! xo
Dress♥
Looking forward to new things on Selective Potential. And loving your hair!!
Lovely floral dress Tieka!!

that was a pretty great swap- anything cut-out is a must have for summer. this is such a pretty post- and I can't wait to see what the city looks like since you'll be staying local more. And good luck on your last show :))
Love your outfit and the place you are in. =)

Love the cutout on the dress and the shoes! And also the Coldplay reference title :)
Throwing on a dress and flats I think is one of the best things about summer! I love your red flats so much - as much as I like heels, I'm pretty bad at being in them for longer periods (so I don't wear them often), and because of that I'm always that much more inspired by outfits that incorporate flats!
That yellow wall in the background is so much fun! Yellow is one of my favourite colours and I can never keep from smiling when I see something in a bright shade of yellow - especially something as big as a building!
Wishing you a great day - and summer! - ahead! :)
Great post! Love the vibrant colors!
Cheers,

Ooh! Those little red maryjane flats are just too cute! I love your whole outfit and using that yellow wall for a background was a stroke of genius! Beautiful photos!

and can't wait to see what new changes you bring to the blog this summer. i know it will just be perfect!
xo TJ

This outfit is so darling! I love everything about it, especially those flats!
seriously LOVE this location! did you take these photos yourself? they're gorgeous!
good luck with your show, & with finding your new musical outlet. :)

Adorable dress! And the red shoes! Looking at the last photo upclose...they do resemble Kung-fu shoes, don't they? I wonder what Bruce Lee would say if they saw these in fabulous red.
http://thebelatedbloomer.blogspot.com
Oh so pretty! Your shoes are to die for!
I love that third picture of you - you look gorgeous!
It's nice that you still have your spirits up right now and will continue blogging. I think it will help you through tough times :)

Love the dress, and the yellow backdrop fits perfectly!
On another note, I have no idea how I am just discovering Circle Maybe. It's a shame that I wont get to enjoy new releases, but I'm excited to hear what's next for you. (Circle Maybe will now be living in my iPod next to my Michigan favorites, Cheap Girls)
I love your outfit(: You're so pretty!
wow, that is quite yellow! amazing color :)
and it'll be probably a bit bittersweet,
but have fun at your show! i can't wait to hear more about your upcoming music projects.
xo, cheyenne
sad about your band, but i can't wait to hear what you and your new projects are going to hold! folk/acoustic is my favorite, for sure.
These photos are sooo beautiful!! And the yellow wall is awesome :)
This is such a cute, cheerful outfit! I've been a longtime reader, but don't comment nearly as much as I should. But I finally got around to reading your last few posts and I have to say that I'm inspired by how honest and optimistic you are. Your blog is always a joy to read :)
I'm looking forward for this slightly new direction, and whatever you're gonna cover, it'll be fantastic I'm sure of it! How amazing is this yellow wall as a backdrop, fuck yeah!
What a great wall - it makes for beautiful photos! I love the yellow with red. :)
My sisiter got married in Ravenna this past October! It's so pretty out there. Hope you had a blast with your last show! I think we had about three "last" shows for the band I was in in college :)
That yellow background really makes that shot!! I love the cut-out.
You look SO pretty. I love that dress, and the yellow wall, and your red shoes. It's all so perfect!
This dress is so summery and fun! I love the bright colors in it. Those red shoes are perfect with it too.
I love that dress! I'm so glad that you will continue with music. When I saw Circle Maybe play with Now, Now I one, loved your voice and two was way to shy to talk to you. Hahaha
Oh MY GOODNESS! I have been out of the blogging world for the past two months. I even went and deleted my blog MYDEARJENN because I didn't feel the need to blog anymore or play the blog game. This happened right after the Texas Style Council conference. Low and behold, I decided to come back and what do you know? I decided to catch up on your blog and what do I see? YOU WEARING MY DRESS that I brought to the conference!!! I'm so glad you like it! I'll have to post about this on my new blog but this really did just make my day!
I posted a picture of me in the dress: http://lastdayofmayblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/remember-when-i-went-to-texas-style.html
