Peplum and a Bow

I don't know how many times I've looked at this white peplum top since I bought it back in June on a trip to NYC but decided not to wear it. Maybe it was the fear of getting it dirty, maybe I feel like peplum has taken over my wardrobe and needed a change, or maybe there is no good reason. And so for that very reason I decided I must wear it before it starts to accumulate dust.

Does anyone else do this? Not wear something you love for no real reason? 

I think I need to break this habit.

I've got a few items like this in my closet: particularly a pair of beautiful purple Minnies from J Crew; a black "leather" skirt from Forever 21 and a Zara blazer that is just waiting for a cooler day.

While we are on the subject of forgotten clothes, let's talk about this necklace. I ordered it as a "I'm-$5-away-from-free-shipping-on Forever's-website-so-I'll-add this-to-my-cart" item. I thought it was going to be a sweet dainty little bow, but it turned out that in real life its actual size was closer to that of a chicken nugget! And the chain was long too! So I tied the chain up and decided why not wear it with my too-long-forgotten peplum top and these surprisingly comfy wedges that had also been hanging out on the shoe rack for longer than I can remember.

 And there you have it, an outfit of old but revived pieces!

Memphis Wedding Fun!!

What happens when the oldest of friends get together for a wedding? Well just to name a few: nine-hour road trips, a speeding ticket (my very first in my whole life... sorry officer, I was going fast because there was a lull in the HURRICANE I was driving through), drinks, more drinks, trolly rides, lots of coffee and of course some Cracker Barrel. 

And most importantly a SUPER FUN wedding! Jay and Shelly, I couldn't be happier for both of you!

This dress was actually in my donate pile for quite some time but I recently tried it on again and discovered I still kinda like it! I love when that happens!

 Trolly fun!

A Classic Maxi

I wore this dress to work where it fit the classy yet comfortable bill. I just love the ruffle down the side that gathers at the hip. It provides such a figure-flattering shape that feels great.

This was a score from my Vegas trip a few weeks back... oh summer, I miss you. At least I have the memories (and purchases) to bring a little sunshine to my days.

I picked this dress up for just $30 at the Ann Taylor in Cesar's Palace Forum shops! Crazy cheap, i know! The sales woman informed me it went on sale that day, so I guess I was just in time. You can find it on sale here for $50 which still isn't bad for a super-high-quality maxi dress with an extra bit of flair!

I also got this headband the same day for just 15 bucks were I found it all by its lonesome, in a sale bin at Anthropologie in the Forum Shops. Overall it will go down in history as an excellent vacation shopping day!

My Kind of Shirt!

We all know I love pink, It's pretty obvious. So I decided to wear this bright neon pink top to brighten up my day and possibly other peoples as well, and I think it actually worked!

Girl on Fire

I do not have Hunger Games fever but I do look like a girl on fire in this outfit, just like Katniss. And since a coworker of mine is pretty much obsessed with the books, even time I looked at her in all her Hunger Games gear it was easy to think of a name for this post!

I really haven't worn this necklace in a long while. I feel like I've been seeing variations of it all over the place lately and decided to give it a comeback since its been in my collection for a few years now.

I was very happy to finally wear my new J Crew "perfect shirt" because lets face it, the name says it all. I got this on major sale a couple weeks back but it's been so hot I waited to wear until I was drowning in AC at my new school! It truly was perfect!
