I'm don't pay a lot of attention to brands, or put much stock in labels, so when Joann held a sale on all Alexander Henry prints, I didn't really pay attention.  I just buy what I like, and try to get stuff that will hold up to heavy wash and wear.  

But this print jumped out at me, and I really liked it, so I bought it while it was on sale.  There was another colorway of the same print that I liked a lot too, but it was on a black background, and I knew it wouldn't suit my coloring as well as this one.  

I thought the palette would best with my fall rotation, so I put it aside until late summer when I could make it up into a Dottie Angel frock.  The scale of this print is a little larger than what I usually gravitate toward, but I think it is a nice change of pace.  

I went for a lazy kanga pocket--I like the clean lines of it, and I thought it suited the print well (in addition to being very fast to make up)

Nothing really to note about construction or anything.  It's a good dress.  I have a rust-colored cardigan that will match it perfectly when the weather cools a bit more (although it is very pleasant today), and a burgundy wool cardigan for when it gets cold.  So far, I'm loving my fall rotation!

The kids go back to school tomorrow, and I'm planning to spend today switching their drawers to uniforms, getting backpacks ready, folding laundry, and so forth.

Meanwhile, this is happening on my street right now:

Oy.
