I Just Wanna See You Stripe

Dress: Gap (30% off clearance sale!) Flats: BCBG via DSW Clutch: J. Crew (40% off clearance sale!) Necklace: F21 Bracelet: J. Crew

If I could choose a pattern to wear for the rest of my life, it'd be stripes. In all different colors, in all different widths, in every which way. Clearly, I'm off to a good start. 

Happy Monday! xx

A Pretty Dress for a Pretty Penny

Dress: American Eagle ($5, thrifted!), Wedges: Payless Jewels: Lauren Conrad, J. Crew, gifted

Every girls needs a light, floral dress to pass summer days in. And what girl wouldn't love for that dress to be $5? No girl. Unless she's crazy, which in that case, voids her opinion in my book. 

And...Meet the photographer! (Even though I'm sure many of you know her)

Pants: Ralph Lauren Top: Banana Republic Factory Store Sandals: Gap

She's pretty stylish, too, eh? 

Thanks for reading! xx

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful Dresses

Dress: Kohl's Shoes: Rubi Jewelry: Forever 21, gifted

I love this weather and all that comes with it...the blooming flowers, the open skies, and the short hem lines! I'm so happy spring is finally here....Today was just the day for a simple dress. Flowy and easy, straight to the point...It has a slight high-low hemline, too, which is a nice touch, and is lacy in the back. Also, tip: For all you girls who are vertically challenged (comme moi) look for shoes that are are "pointy" in the front.  Pointy-toed shoes automatically extend and elongate your legs - and what girl wouldn't want that? (Better picture of the shoes in the post below!)

Have a great weekend! :) xo

Knock Knock, Color Block

Dress: Forever 21 Necklace: Forever 21 Watch & Ring: Gifted Shoes: Chinese Laundry Sunglasses: Betsey Johnson

So I walked into the mall yesterday and started quivering. I must have grabbed 30 items and rushed to the dressing room...I'm loving the 2012 spring fashion scene. For a girl who really adores neutrals (beige, cream, black, brown, etc...) I was thrown for a loop - and loved it. The pastels and vibrant colors are amazing....stripes and prints are huge, and boxy, blocky pops of color (retro my friends, retro) are all over. This might be one of my favorite outfits so far on my blog...you'll definitely be seeing this dress again!

Don't be afraid to incorporate different colors into your outfits...I have the royal blue pop in the dress, bright orange shoes, and a neon yellow necklace on....Say goodbye to matchy-match, and hello to eclectic, interesting bursts of color! 

So glad spring is here! xo

The Little Dress That Could

Dress: Francesca's Collections Cardigan: Old Navy Jacket: Forever 21 Shoes: DSW Earrings: Forever 21 Bracelets/Watch: Gifted

Allow me to introduce you to one of my favorite dresses. She's a simplistic lady with beautiful coloring, an open back, and a sweet but not too revealing hemline.  She also likes pina coladas and getting lost in the rain. Not really, but you get the point. Here's three interchangeable ways to wear her: with a cardigan for work/school, nothing for a night out (should have snapped a shot of the gorgeous open back!), or with a jacket or blazer for chillier outdoor events. The best part about her was that she was $14.99 final sale on the Francesca's clearance rack at Garden State...and the rest is history. 

The shoes, I don't really have words for. They were another great steal - DSW truly is the best place to go for shoes not only for their incredible selection, but for their slamming sale rack. Although...I am definitely obsessing over these right now....in turquoise and in cranberry. And they are nowhere near sale price, unfortunately :(

I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather today....it was great to see everyone outside around town, just enjoying the prelude to spring.

Happy Thursday! xo
