Mint Dress - Inspiration

I'm ready to jump into the next project! I think this will be the last one before I leave for the states in August. Last year I bought three meters of a pastel-mint colored cotton for 5 € (in the same shop I went to this year), and used some of it for my Maturaarbeit (I kind of messed up the dress and didn't like it because it's design and colors didn't fit the concept anymore):

Well, I still have a lot left, and I want to make another summer dress, one with a little less going on (fabric wise) than the floral "betty draper" dress, and instead concentrate on the design and adding little details. I know I want a circle skirt with a scalloped edge, the rest I'm not sure about yet, still collecting inspiration! I've started using Pinterest again for this, and have a pinboard for every project I have planned (I also linked these in the sidebar ->), here is the one for the mint dress.

This is the fabric and the buttons/beads I'm considering for embellishing:

I'm still figuring out the design, more on that tomorrow.
