fourteen

This past week I kept looking at all of the shirts my Granddaddy gave me and noticed that one in particular was perfectly suited for a special 4th of July dress for Adeline.  

The colors were perfect and I really liked that they were a bit deeper than the primary red and blue of the traditional holiday colors. The shirt is very soft and fairly thin so it was also perfect for today's extremely high temperature.

I didn't push the envelope with the design of this dress-- it's basically just a version of dress one. I figured that wasn't really the point. I just wanted something soft and cool for her to wear and for it to be a shirt worn by my grandfather, a veteran of WWII, well that just makes it even better on this day of celebration!
