Red Hot

Dress:  Anthropologie (very old, similar here, a little pricier here, under $50 here), Shoes:  Steve Madden, Bag:  Anthropologie (old, similar here), Earrings:  Unknown (similar here, here, here)

I bought this dress years ago for my husband's ten-year high school reunion and it's definitely proven to be one of my better purchases.  Although it's not a dress that I wear every day, it's something I find a reason to wear at least once a year.  I never tire of it and it makes me feel very girlie and special every time I put it on.

My husband took me to a fancy dinner the other night and I thought it was the perfect excuse to wear it.  I paired it with my favorite earrings of all time, and the coral/turquoise was the perfect compliment to the vibrant frock.

I wanted to say thank you to Jan of Your Next Handbag for selecting me as a top 10 blogger for the month of June ~ see the lovely feature HERE.

Happy hump day everyone!

Smooches

Top:  J.Crew ~ almost sold out online (love this seahorse top, similar pricy option here), Skirt:  H&M (old, loving this one, similar here), Shoes:  Steve Madden, Clutch:  c/o GiGi New York, Sunnies:  Ray-Ban, Earrings:  Gift from my grandmother (similar here)

I've been wearing a lot of blue and white lately.  I guess I would consider them my go-to summer colors.

I had my eye on this seahorse tee for a while before I finally decided to purchase.  I snagged it on sale last week for under $20 ~ too good to resist!

When I brought it home my husband said it looks like something my grandmother would have packed to take with her to Florida for the winter.  Had me in hysterics ~ I wonder sometimes where he comes up with this stuff?!?  Gotta love a guy's opinion about women's fashion!

Take Two

Top:  J.Crew (old, similar here, lining this sleeveless version), Skirt:  c/o eShakti, Shoes:  Steve Madden, Bag:  Unknown (similar here), Earrings:  Tory Burch, Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

When I put these pictures up on the computer I started to ask myself 'where had I seen this outfit before?'  It then occurred to me that this ensemble is strikingly similar to what I wore the last time I styled this skirt {see here}.  I hope you will all forgive me.  I will point out though, that I did try something a little out of my comfort zone by knotting the top rather than tucking it into the skirt.  I'm a big tucker, but I like the knotted look with this super high-waisted number.

Also, I finally broke down and bought these Steve Madden "Realove" heels.  Originally I had purchased a similar pair from Zara, but they just weren't comfortable for me {the straps were a little tight on my toes}.  I'm so happy that I went with these because they are comfortable and cute and reasonably priced.  

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
