Some days the light, the outfit and all the tweeds, textures and colors just work together in perfect harmony. This was one of those days. 

 I hope you all are enjoying the begining of the week as much as I am. I started Monday with no school for MLK day and had some ladies over to do a fun little photo shoot/collaboration (more on that soon! Can't wait to share!) and see my "new" apartment.

With the rest of the day I caught up on Glee which always leads me to tracking down an item of clothing seen on the show. This time it was an amazing Trina Turk dress Quinn wore that was on Mega sale (sooo many cute dresses on sale with an extra 20%off!) and I literally got THE least one in stock! Yay for me. Anyone else think the best purchases are ones that have a backstory with a sweet ending?

Also while catching up on my magazines, something I very rarely have enough free time to do, I came across a picture of Gwen Stefani wearing these L.A.M.B heels and fell in love. The only reason I'm not seriously considering getting these is I know myself, and know a 4.25 inch heel just isn't practical for me. I rarely wear a shoe with a heel to school and if I do its a mid heel. Guess I'll just admire from afar.

Daily Look Polka Dot Dress

Dailylook dress // Nordstrom BP bag (sold out but love this one) // Zara sunglasses (similar here at piperlime) // Go Jane sandals // Vintage necklace

From the moment I laid eyes on this dress, I knew it was going to be utter perfection. A retro glam look at a great price. Did I mention that this dress comes in at just under $50. Every good thing I can say about this dress wouldn't do it justice. It simply is EVERYTHING. I wore it on a date with my husband and I must have gotten 20 compliments on it which is impressive considering half of the date was in the dark in the movie theater.

The best part is that it just got restocked in all 3 sizes! Mine you see here is a medium. I urge you snap up this dress before it's gone. You wont regret it! 

Black Maxi Dress

Zara Dress (old) // Sam Edelman Bag (old) // Forever 21 Sandals (similar for $22.80) // Akira Chicago belt // Burberry lipstick

A black maxi dress is a must have in my book. It's a perfect way to feel covered up and chic all at the same time. Not all black maxis are created equally however. Case in point, this lacy number pictured. I bought this dress 2 summers ago for our honeymoon in Greece but for some reason never wore it. It had been sitting in my closet ever since. Shame on me. I really love the back lace detail but it made undergarments tricky.
