Yellow Lace H&M dress

I've been meaning to wear this dress for so long. It's almost a little ridiculous that it has been in my closet with the tags on since before we went to Las Vegas in March. 

I finally wore it out to Greek Fest in our neighborhood last weekend. It actually has gotten a little big on me but I think it still looks ok. It has such a great lace pattern I just couldn't let the summer pass without at least one wear. 

Shoes: Piperlime (super on sale and considering buying a backup pair)

Dress: H&M

Belt: J. Crew Outlet

Bag: H&M (now available for purchase online!)

Lips: Nars "Heatwave"

The Truth

I'm not going to lie, these pictures are from back when school was still in session. Since then, there have been very few opportunities to take outfit pictures because let's be honest, if you didn't have to go to work for a month and a half, would you dress up?

Most days consist of working out and hanging out around my house, all of which can be done in my Lululemon gear. Not to mention this unseasonably cold week we are having here in Chicago. My fashion senses are all mixed up. I want to wear summer dresses but the gray sky and weather in the 60s are making me choose otherwise.

Til it warms up, enjoy some leftover teacher outfits! By the way, this top is now on sale at Zara! 

 Blouse: Zara (on sale here)

Red pants: Forever 21 (only $16!)

Shoes: Coconuts "Hepburn"

Father's Day: A Day at the Races

Yesterday was spent with my favorite old man: my dad. 

For the last few years my brother has organized a get-together at Arlington Race Course for Father's Day and it's been just perfect every time! My dad has a serious passion for horse racing and used to train and own a few horses, so it's only fitting that we spend his day at the track.

And in keeping with my passion, fashion, I decided to go into full-on derby mode for the day. Theme dressing can be super fun when it involves girly dresses and big ol' hats! Yes indeed! 

Here's a peek at our day at the races.

 Shoes: Coconuts "Hepburn" (buy same here! So comfy!)

Dress: Forever 21 (similar here and here)

Hat: J. Crew (almost identical here)

Necklace: Nordstrom (old but similar here)

Purse: Aldo Outlet (another option here)

Sunglasses: Forever 21

Belt: Came with an old Jason Wu for Target dress (similar here at Target)

 The perfect picture of my dad in his element! Happy Father's Day!
