I am one happy lady right now; school is officially done for the Summer and I am one free little bird! I couldn’t be more excited for the traveling I will be doing in the upcoming months. In the meantime, I have my boyfriend’s college graduation tomorrow which is just insane to me! We graduated high school together four years ago… where does the time go? It’s definitely a weird feeling but I am so proud of him and can’t wait to start this next chapter together! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, too! XOXO

P.S. Check out my EBAY

It’s refreshing when you can take a vibrant piece from your wardrobe and style it in a way that makes it look new. As excited as I was when I first purchased this dress I had some lingering doubts about wearing it multiple times because of the color; it isn’t the most subtle of colors and definitely makes a statement on its own. I decided to try and tone it down by layering a crop top and cardigan to create a balanced look that wouldn’t be recognized by those who saw me in it from the first time I wore it.

It doesn’t take much for me to fall in love with a dress (or any clothes for that matter) but when a simple garment has unique little details I’m usually always smitten. This 1950s dress has just that: small things that make it all the more special. First, I love how soothing the lavender color is, second, the scalloped edges down the center alongside the buttons, and third, the adorable mini bow and over-sized collar. What more could a gal ask for in a dress (besides for the wind to stop going crazy)?
