Gen
Gen is an artist, and a printmaker at that. I'd seen this earlier in a fancy curated fashion boutique in Portland (where I also found Gen). Seeing the dress on Gen makes me want to buy it. I probably won't, but if you're looking for a nice end-of-summer-transition-to-fall dress you can purchase it here.

Hi Knoxville! This is Wendy, former Knoxvillian currently residing in Argentina. If you really want to help poor kids in Argentina (where the extra pair of Tom's shoes go) you can buy Paez Alpargatas instead.
Alpargatas are traditional South American shoes that have been produced and worn by the masses here for hundreds of years.
Unfortunately, Tom's shoes are made in China, which does not help out the local economy one bit.
Paez shoes, however, are produced in Argentina, stimulating the local economy, so that parents who work at factories can in turn purchase much more for their children than flimsy Alpargatas.
Un beso grande, Knoxville.
Wendy, thanks for the tip. I can't decide if I like the way TOMS look and I hear they're not worth much in places where it's often wet.
Here's a link to the shoes Wendy mentioned: http://www.paezshoes.com/
