Chambray Off-The-Shoulder

Dress:  Express (identical here under $35!, also LOVE this long-sleeve version), Shoes:  Burberry Prorsum (old, similar here, also love these strappy ones), Bag:  Unknown (similar here, LOVE this similar style), Bracelets:  c/o Gold & Gray

I know y'all are probably tired of seeing this dress by now. I've seen it all over Pinterest and social media ~ seems that everyone out there has a similar version.

Truth be told, in addition to buying Ella's 4th of July outfit, I picked up this comfy casual frock the day I went into labor. 

Funny story actually ~ I walked into Express {with my literally about to burst prego belly} and spotted this dress. The sales associate in store asked me what size I was looking for and I said, "Extra small." She replied, "Are you sure you don't want to try the size small also?" Bless her teenage heart for not being sensitive to a hormonal pregnant woman. No offense taken here, but I did try the extra small, belly and all, and was sure to come out and show her that it fit me even WITH my ginormous belly.

I have worn this dress twice since having Ella and it's just the most comfortable dress out there. Also, perfect for when I was breastfeeding because I could easily pull down the top and latch her right on!

Please ignore my unruly hair as I have not had a cut or color in more than four months. I'm going next week and am sure I'll feel like a new woman.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Shorts & Stripes

Top:  Anthropologie (old, similar here), Shorts:  Bec & Bridge (almost identical here for under $30!), Bag:  3.1 Phillip Lim, Shoes:  Burberry Prorsum (budget friendly option here), Sunnies:  Forever 21 (similar here)

While {as I mentioned on Monday} I am definitely trying to milk every last outfit from my summer wardrobe, I can't help but think about which pieces will make a seamless transition into fall.

These shorts are at the top of my list. I look forward to wearing them with booties, and eventually tights {once my my bronzy glow begins to fade}.

What summer pieces will you be wearing into fall?

Colorful Kicks

Top:  Anthropologie (old, similar here), Pants:  Anthropologie (old, LOVE this similar option), Shoes:  Burberry Prorsum, Clutch:  Anthropologie (old, similar here, also love this one), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

When I purchased these pink shoes {on major sale}, I never imagined I would get so much use out of them. I quickly realized that they look amazing with pretty much everything in my closet.

During the summer months, I gravitate toward my brightly colored shoes much more than I do to the neutral ones.

This can only mean one thing ~ I must make it my mission to purchase a pair of shoes in every color of the rainbow.

Happy Monday everyone!

Eyelet Details

Dress:  Zara (sold out, similar here, here, LOVE this one), Shoes:  Burberry Prorsum ~ on sale! (similar budget-friendly option here), Clutch:  Unknown (similar here, dreaming of this one), Watch:  c/o May28th, Aviators:  Ray-Ban

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of dresses ~ especially in the summer. As cool as it may be inside my office, I just can't bring myself to wear pants/jeans often. 

Perhaps it's the fact that bare leg season is so short in NJ? Whatever the reason, I jump at any opportunity to buy a new cute summer dress that it also work appropriate.

This white shirt dress might as well have been calling my name. Airy enough for the sweltering temps, yet conservative enough for the office. The cutout eyelet detail on the back was just an added bonus. Did I mention I scored this little number for under $40?!?

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Back to Business

Top:  J.Crew, Skirt:  J.Crew (old, similar here), Bag:  Louis Vuitton (LOVE this similar option), Shoes:  Burberry Prorsum ~ on sale! (also here), Aviators:  Ray-Ban

This past weekend was one of those weekends that you never want to end. We celebrated the 4th at my summer stomping grounds - the Jersey Shore. 

The beach was absolutely beautiful, and my husband and I had the most relaxing time.

But all good things must come to an end, and yesterday it was back to the daily grind.

I felt a little like a watermelon with my green skirt and pink shoes, but if it's wrong to dress like your favorite fruit, then I don't want to be right.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
