Ah! Hi!

Oh my goodness. I am having a terrible time keeping up with this blog since starting my job! I am really going to have to start putting a better effort forth to keep content regular.

Anyway, here's a new post! This outfit is based off of a couple items I've recently picked up for myself. The lace shirt and jeans I nabbed at Charlotte Russe for less than what they are on the web! They currently have lace tops (long sleeve, short sleeve and tanks) available at two for $20. I picked up the one shown, and a dark blue tank top. I listed it here at full price since that's the deal. The jeans are full price on the website, but I found them on the clearance rack at my local store. The clearance rack that day was buy one get one free! I bought a pair of pleated and slightly cropped slacks and these jeans for $14.99. That is what I consider a deal.

I have a pair of earrings from Lisa's Lovelies, like the ones shown on the bottom left, except that mine have a dark red bead. I love them and wear them often. They're small enough that the bead part hangs just below the bottom of my ear.

I've had those bone earrings from Tribal Style (upper right) in my favorites for a while now. I love that they give the look of stretched lobes without actually having to stretch your lobes.

Circle Gets the Square

The focus of this post was going to be the maxi dress and natural accents... but then I noticed the circles! All of the circles... circle in the dress, circle earrings, circles bracelet... I should have looked for circle shoes, but maybe that would have been overkill. Probably not, but I really liked these wedges I found for this dress.

Scratching an Itch

Today I saw a really great layered look for fall with a shirt dress and heavy belted sweater over it, and cozy thigh high socks. It gave me an itch for warm layers already and it's just barely summer! So I did a lighter version for this post.

The sweater vest is breathable with different types of stitching, and being that it has no sleeves, would hold up well in summer time. I suppose whether or not the socks are needed depends on your local weather!
