Shikha London dress via Sienna (on sale!) โข Handbag: Carpisa โข Jacket: Zara โข Glasses: Kinto โข Sandals: Christian Di Riccio via Torfs
Early in July, my mom, my youngest sister and I went down to Antwerp to get all the paperwork done for my student apartment – yay! – and for my first year at uni. Since my sister had never seen Antwerp’s famous shopping streets, my mom asked to tour them around and show all my favorite places. I took that opportunity mainly to walk by my favorite food places and a few smaller shops that never let me down. The tour was very rewarding, to say the least, with a refreshing frozen yogurt (I may have gotten my mom addicted to the stuff), a yummy coffee with whipped cream and caramel aaaand this lovely butterfly-print dress. After we got our froyos my mom and sister went into my one of my favorite stores to find cute dresses, Sienna at the Lombardenvest. Since I hadn’t finished my froyo yet, I sat down on a bench a little further away to look at all the people buzzing by. The week before, K and I had visited Sienna already in hopes to find a dress for my graduation party. I first choose the actual dress I’m wearing in these photos, but decided to leave it as I knew it was going to be on sale the week after. I bought a FW collection dress instead. And the dress went on sale. And I didn’t think about it anymore. And my mom bought it for me. Without knowing that I wanted it. I tell you… parents have psychic skills… seriously. They have to!
Mooi jurkje, Sienna vind ik ook een heel leuk winkeltje! x
Sounds like you guys had a fun day out ๐ I love shopping in Antwerp.
Wow congrats on your new apartment. You must be so excited. Seriously I need a frozen yogurt right now. That dress is adorable. Trust me you are lucky to have the only parent with psychic skills in the world ๐

Aww that's so awesome that you got the dress on sale after wanting it a while! ๐

You are the sweetest thing in this dress and the location for your pictures could not be more perfect. Living in New York City, I definitely miss escaping to places like this. Congratulations on signing for your first student apartment! Decorating it is the best part. ๐
haha zalig! en leuk van je app!!!
Heel leuke foto's en mooi jurkje!
You are so gorgeous and the photos totally showcase that. I love that dress, it looks so cute on you!

very pretty pics,love the dress ๐
pretty!
That's so awesome that your mom bought that dress for you without knowing you wanted it. It's so cute! I love the accordion pleating. These pictures turned out so pretty too.
P.S. unfortunately our licenses expire here in the US. Mine expires in October so I have to renew it before I head back to school. It used to be automatic renewal but not anymore.
Nikki, i absolutely LOVE the retro vibe of this outfit! it's just darling and so are you!! the photography's great too, i can totally visualize the tall grass swaying in the summertime breeze.
stellar news about your Mom making these dress dreams come true! parents really do have some kinda antenna built into their DNA – i've had similar moments with my Mom and it's so weird. glad it all worked out pre-grad lades!! โฅ
The dress is really pretty on you, I love that last shot with the shadows on the handbag. Congrats with your new place. ๐ /Madison x
