Image: Forever 21 This cute and sassy Forever 21 Pantomine Tri-Color Dress ($19.80) is a prime example.

I am infinitely in love with Windsor Benches & Chairs.  I love the combination in the pictures below of traditional spindle chairs along side the more dramatic higher backed Windsor chairs.  The bench is what really captures me though.  I would love to ( some day )  have a combination of the dramatic higher backed chairs, traditional spindle chairs and one beautiful Windsor bench, preferably painted in a lovely, punchy color.  Milky Blue perhaps? Ahh a girl can dream!
