This is honestly really pretty; I like the idea of her leaning into I'm Spending a Summer in Italy as her blueprint for this press push. Spoiler: She did not actually do that, but it would have been fun and, I think, effective.

RJP looks handsome (if slightly intense in the eyeballs; just a bad photo if this man can be said to take one which honestly he cannot); and her dress is very charming. I wish we got MORE polka dot, though; I only just noticed that part of the bodice also has the print. ALL DOTS!

I don't really dislike this -- it helps that she, as a human person, is so cute! -- but it does feel more autumnal to me. The colors, the sleeves, the turtleneck. It's giving October. (I realize, from the coats on the people behind her, that the temp itself may ALSO be giving October.)

From what I saw, this WAS cute and festive while she was seated. Walking on the street, it does feel a bit like she is about to make a dramatic entrance on an 80s soap and throw some wine in someone's face. We've all been there. Emotionally.

Of all the Walking Around photos, I think this look is the most successful -- this is cute and easy without being boring.
