A Matchy Navy Polka Dot Dress & Red Target Shoes Outfit

By
Happy Wednesday everyone! I wore this matchy blue and red outfit last Thursday, but I don't even remember what I did that day. It's kind of troublesome how the days run together during the summer. I think I ran errands or something. 

Anyway, I've gotten a lot of use out of this dress. It's so easy to throw on without much thought and nice and light for summer. I decided on a very matchy matchy outfit because sometimes everything needs to coordinate. It makes me happy that matchy and mismatched outfits are on trend right now because I love both styles so much!

dress: forever 21 | shoes: cherokee - target | sunglasses: kohl's | belt: thrifted | bracelet: vintage

Check out these shoes I just bought from the Target kids' section! 
Here's a tip for you if you wear up to a size 8. Look at the girls' shoes because the sizes are larger than their number equivalent in the womens' section. I wear a 7 - 7 1/2 and these red shoes are a size 6 and fit a little loose. Apparently girls' sizes are wider so that's probably why they fit loose on my narrow feet. But if you're browsing Target and wear an 8 or below don't forget to check out the kids' shoes because they're usually cheaper and they have a ton of cute styles. Jeanie even got a pair of wedges with a really decent sized heel for $17. (Why children are wearing 2-3 inch heels, I don't know. But the shoes work for Jeanie!)


I hope you're having a great middle of the week!

I love a good matchy outfit. It's simple and requires no thinking. Plus the red & navy combo is a classic! Thanks for the advice on the kids shoe section too, I never would have thought of that.

This is such a perfect summer dress! I really do love that it's "matchy," red goes perfectly with it. And I can't believe you got these shoes from the kids section! I'll definitely have to check that out.

Work Outfit: Light Blue Jersey Knit Dress and White Block Heels

By

I'm a big fan of what I call "pajama dresses," which are really just jersey knit skater dresses . They're comfortable enough to sleep in, yet can look 100% put-together if styled nicely. That's exactly what I did with this light blue dress California-based shop Tobi sent me to style. (Someone even asked me why I was dressed so nice at the dog park! I told them I just came from work, of course.) For the debut of my newest pajama dress, I added my silvery beaded Stella and Dot necklace and a pair of white block heel sandals from Forever 21. I actually bought the shoes back in December on sale and had to wait for it to warm up to finally wear them. Happily, they're comfortable enough to walk back and forth to work, which is really all I can ask in a pair of cheap shoes.  daydreaming skater dress : c/o tobi | shoes : forever 21 | necklace: stella & dot | sunglasses: forever 21 Check out more from Tobi:  shorts  |  jewelry  |  casual dresses ...

Botanical Fun

These pictures are from my outing to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which just so happens to be conveniently located about 8 minutes from my apartment. There were still a nice amount of flowers blooming so it was really pretty. I decided I needed to get more wears out of my pretty Steal the Game Show dress from Modcloth so I took some inspiration from other bloggers and wore it as a skirt! I actually really liked how this outfit turned out. Plus it was easy to walk around in all day because I wore nice, comfy Keds. dress (worn as a skirt): Modcloth.com blouse, belt, bag: thrifted cardigan: ann taylor loft; thrifted shoes: keds sunglasses: kohls earrings: forever 21 I quite enjoyed my brightly colored nails. They're China Glaze Papaya Punch with an accent nail of Electrify from the Capitol Colours collection. I've been loving having the whole Capitol Colours collection. Especially since it's Hunger Games themed. If there...

Leather Scalloped Skirt, Polka Dots, & Orange Tights

Happy weekend everyone! I just had the most lazy weird Friday ever, so I'm updating later than usual. I basically slept on and off since class got done at noon. I know, I'm pretty exciting. This outfit was fun today though! I wore my leather skirt that we recently DIY scallop hemmed. I may post a little tutorial of sorts on how to do that, but it's pretty self explanatory. I like that the skirt is a little shorter now. It still squeezes my insides right at the waist, but it's more comfortable now that I'm having a few skinny months. Leather just doesn't have any give! Oh well, it looks cool. skirt, top, shoes: thrifted | tights, earrings, hair bow: forever21.com  I got to pull out my bag of long-sleeved tops and sweaters and such today. It's finally cool in the morning so the extra arm covering was welcome. Plus it was almost like Christmas getting to pull out my warm-weather-only clothes after all this time!  I always love when I real...
