Friday's Fancies - Picnic Primped

This week's Friday's Fancies theme is Picnic Primped, which I love because I love picnics (and eating outdoors in general).  There nothing like hanging out on a soft blanket under a big shade tree and relaxing with some food and music or something good to read.  A choice enough location would also allow for people watching, which is just as fun too (at least in my eyes)!  Here's what I would wear on a picnic:

1. I always think picnics call for easy breezy dresses, which actually aren't too practical if you're sitting or laying around at a park.  A maxi dress fits the bill though, with enough coverage to avoid any overexposure, and this one, with its fun colors and print, is perfect for a beautiful summer day.

2. A fedora looks chic and keeps your hair at bay while shielding your face and eyes from the sun without the "loss of color" effect wearing sunglasses brings.

3. I always carry around a scarf or sweater because I get cold easily.  In my ideal picnic world, there is enough of a breeze to allow me to be comfortable in a soft, thin cardigan.

4. I wanted to throw an actual picnic basket in the mix because I love the idea of going all out for a picnic - with actual (real) plates, utensils and cups, and an actual picnic basket of course.

5. Finally, there's nothing like being able to kick off your shoes and relax while hanging out - so easy to do when you are wearing flip flops!
