Gingham Dress

Dress: ASOS (similar here for 60% off) // Bag: vintage (grandmas) // Shoes: Ann Taylor // Belt: J. Crew (similar for 40% off) // Sunglasses: Prada

Gingham has alway been one of my favorite patterns, and this halter gingham dress didn't disappoint. I wish I could say that it's still available (this one and this one still are and on sale), but I scooped up one of the last ones during a sale on ASOS. I could spend hours sifting through all their adorable dresses and unique pieces! I am really loving this LOFT gingham dress (60% off) though, as well as these shorts. And can we talk about how cute this retro gingham one piece is too?!

Maybe you have some old gingham pieces in your closet from years past, but I recommend pulling them out and breathing new life into that timeless print while it's having a serious moment!

Bow Tie

I'm pretty sure every girl has struggled with finding the perfect white button down shirt.  If you are a tall girl like me who struggles to find shirts that will cover up your backside, this one is just perfect. So perfect that I actually bought it at full price. I almost never do that. It was one of those thing you put on and know that it's exactly what you were looking for. When it finally went on sale (I actually returned the first one) I ordered two, just to have a back-up in case this one ever got spilled on, dingy or ruined, which are all bound to happen sooner or later with a white shirt.

And while we're at it, these Valentino knock-off flats are super comfortable, super high quality and come in a bunch of different colors! Both this shirt and flats pair so effortlessly and make for a chic yet simple combo.

By the way, The pictures this week are all taken with my new camera lens that was bough after a tragic in home accident. Oops!

 Can you tell the difference? Is the quality better? Hope you like it.

Have a great weekend!

This outfit combines three of my most favorite brands as of late. This Ann Taylor dress has been perfect through summer and is easy to layer in Fall. It's sold out but there are so many great pieces there right now. Two in particular I picked up this weekend are this chic tunic sweater and this elegant bracelet.

Boohoo is a quiet favorite of mine. These white shoes were an ironic throwback to my school age years till a student in my class showed up wearing them in black.  Not so ironic anymore. I've always been pleasantly surprised at the quality and look of everything Ive ever ordered from there. I absolutely adore their midi skirts and have this floral one and this orange one. Both under $30! Ive even picked up a cardigan or two for my hubs in the mens section.

Lastly we have Daily Look. I'm new to their site but boy was I impressed with this mint vest and this long polkadot dress that I instantly fell in love with! Their prices are quite reasonable too. You can totally find some quality pieces here.

And there you have it. Three shops, totally ready to shop! Now get to it!

Pink Vintage Slip

Honestly, I have this terribly bad habit of buying things and not wearing them until I find the perfect time or mood that strikes me. Usually this takes a few weeks, sometimes even months. But this particular dress has been hanging out in my closet with the tags still on it for 2+ years. I found it at the Zara sale for something ridiculous like $13 so I had to get it. The perfect night to wear it finally rolled around for my friend Erica's surprise bachlorette party last Friday. 

Ann Taylor Flounce Dress

Sometimes all you need is a good green wall (in this case a fence) and a light jacket to make a summer morning look classy. This super simple drop waist flounce dress from the Ann Taylor sale is easy to throw on and even looks good with my Shoemint Ashton sneakers! Perfect casual outfit if I do say so myself!

By the way, Ann Taylor has done it again. Their sale selection is 60% off right now. I do love when they have a sale. It almost makes me wish I had to get dressed for work again...maybe not.

Compliment Getting Lace Ann Taylor Skirt

About a week before I left for New York I made a very exciting order to Ann Taylor. There was a flash sale where everything was on sale for 60% off sale prices and I was in love with so many pieces! I hoped that my package would arrive before I left for my trip, and I'm so happy that it did. I don't think I've ever received so many compliments from so many perfect strangers in one day on a skirt as I did with this navy lace one, that is still on sale right now I might add! I love that it gives the illusion of length making it feel more modest, but the short lining gives it a little sass and shows off the beautiful lace detail!

There are so many great sale pieces to love right now. I especially love this off white wrap dress because of its wide waist tie that really defines your waist. I also love this sophisticated and flirty floral dress for its cozy cotton fabric and grown-up pattern. Don't wait to shop the sale because it will sell out fast! And this weekend all items are 50% off using code BIG50.

This necklace was a random eBay find but I think I found it's twin here on Sole Society who is also having a 50% off necklaces and Bracelets sale for 2 days only. They also carry a dead ringer for these old Zara sunglasses you see me wearing here too! Gotta love Sole Society, right?

You can also grab my perfect summer pink lip color in its easy to apply pencil form here. Simply my favorite shade of hot pink!

Don't for get to check out my wish list page full of everything I love and have my eye on right now!
