OOTD -- My Fourteenth Birthday

I love having a reason to wear dresses. I suppose I can allow myself to wear one any time I would like but having a true reason to wear one justifies it. A birthday party is my reason and the fact that it's my birthday party is an even better one--It's your party you can wear what you want to, right? Ok, I changed the real saying just to build my case. I recently discovered Draper James, a brand of Southern-inspired silhouettes, and pretty patterns. I paired this floral-patterned, open-shoulder dress with my gold Kate Spade heels.
