I love our annual family trips down to Tennessee.  The scenery, the slower pace of living, spending time with my grandparents, and getting to visit with one of the sweetest girls I know, Katie of Pearls and Twirls.  When we went down a few months ago I got to finally visit Katie’s storefront for My Kind of Lovely in the center of the little town her family and my grandparents both live in.  (Which was the best coincidence ever when we found that out!)  Not only was the shop as adorable as I’d expected, but I also couldn’t resist taking home what I knew would be one of the most comfortable summer dresses I own.  It’s over-sized and made of the softest jersey knit so it’s become one of those pieces I throw on to curl up at the computer to work.
