[Dress: Forever 21 (appears to be sold out, but another cool colorblock option here); Shoes: Ruche; Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Boyfriend; Earrings: BaubleBar; Bracelets: J.Crew and Flea Market; Nails: Essie: Muchi Muchi]
I promise you'll see my eyes again soon; it's just been really sunny out lately, so the glasses are a must. And yes, I'm posing in parking lot.
I say all this to point you to my dress, which comes from the Love 21 line and called my name when I saw it in the store. The classic ladylike shape, cute bow, and skirt in my favorite color had me at hello. I styled with minimal jewelry and t-strap, kitten heel sandals that also play to the girlish vibe.

This dress is F21?! It's amazing and so beautiful. Also, loving those shoes - they look like they'd go with everything! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Megan! They're definitely a go-to summer pair for dresses!
DeleteSuch a cute dress! I thought it was a top and skirt until I scrolled to the bottom. Forever 21 stresses me out sometimes, but I've learned it's best to go during the weekday when there aren't as many people. Always seems to do the trick for me. You look fantastic and I love that you were posing in a parking lot :)

Yes, that sounds like the right strategy! I also find focusing carefully on one section/room at a time helps!
DeleteI can't believe this is from Forever 21! I definitely need to start looking harder when I go there. Love your blog, by the way!
ReplyDeleteah yes forever 21 shopping is a learned art! i do love the mint color of that dress! xoxo

Black and a bright color is my favorite kind of combination. You can't go wrong with it.

Thanks Jinna!
DeleteI would have thought that was a...er...pricier... dress than from F21. I guess that's your point - you can find some pieces that look great!
ReplyDeleteYup, exactly the point :)
Deletei can see how it might be overwhelming...they have so much stuff jammed into the store, and you often see one-ofs all over the place because they don't get put back in the right places and the employees can't keep up. but i think i've got it down, too, lol!
ReplyDeletethis dress was a great find!

Definitely worth it: :). And no I'm in Boston... what about you? Sorry for the late response by the way! I'm packing all my comment responses into one very late night!
DeleteBeautiful photos! I've never seen those ray ban's before! They are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! My husband found them for me and I was quite happy! They're definitely a twist on the traditional Ray-Ban shape.
