White and Nude

Sweater:  Brandy Melville (old, similar here), Jeans:  Henry & Belle c/o PB&J Boutique, Bag:  C.Wonder (old, newer version here), Shoes:  Zara (similar here under $20!!), Aviators:  Ray-Ban

Since Mother Nature seems to keep reminding us that fall is around the corner, I decided that I need to wear all of my summer faves at least one more time before autumn arrives.

Excuse my adult sip-cup.  I was literally about to hop in my car {running late for work} as my husband snapped these shots.

Restore the Shore

Dress:  Zara (love this one, similar here) Shoes:  Zara (identical here,  similar here, here), Necklace:  Panacea, Bag:  Forever 21 (similar here)

My husband and I have been trying to spend as much time as possible down the shore ~ not only because we love the beach, but also because he is rebuilding my uncle's beach house that was destroyed during Sandy.  It's encouraging week-to-week to see the wonderful progress that is being made all along the coastline.

Although we were down this past weekend, these pictures were snapped a few weeks ago.  I didn't post right away because I felt you all needed a breather from this necklace.  Truth is, I wear it ALL THE TIME.  It goes with everything and really makes an outfit.  Simple black dress bumped up a notch with this stunning statement piece.

What are your favorite summer accessories?

Tropical

Top:  J.Crew ~ 25% off right now!, Pants:  Forever 21 (old, LOVING these for only $35!), Shoes:  Zara (similar here for $30!), Bag:  Unknown (similar here, here), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

I was smitten with this tank as soon as I received the new J.Crew catalog.  The model on the cover was wearing it with the matching shorts and I loved the look so much that I was tempted to buy both pieces.  The print is more tropical that your typical floral print.  It instantly reminded me of my recent getaway to Key West and made me wish I were back in Margaritaville ~ but for now I'll have to settle for wearing it through the halls at my school.  

Happy Monday everyone!

Ombre

Sweatshirt:  Zara (old, great alternative here), Skort:  Zara (exact same here for just $23!), Shoes:  Zara (loving this identical pair under $30!), Bag:  H&M (similar here, here)

Pulled this sweatshirt from the dark depths of my closet and thought it looked perfect with my favorite skort ~ also the only skort that I own, but nonetheless, my favorite.

The final countdown...only three more days of classes left until school's out for summer!

Lime Green, Navy, And Pink

Shirt:  J.Crew (old, this year's version here, similar here for under $20!), Skirt:  J.Crew Factory (old, similar here, here), Shoes:  Zara (love this identical pair for under $30!), Clutch:  Unknown (LOVE this one, here under $20!), Bangle:  Forever 21 (similar)

Two of my favorite color combinations are lime green & navy, and pink & navy, so I thought ~ why not combine all three? Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Neon Dot Shorts

Top:  Zara (old, identical one here), Shorts:  J.Crew (sold out, similar here), Shoes:  Zara (love this identical pair for $30!), Clutch:  Unknown (similar here, here), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

It's rare that I buy an expensive item at J.Crew before it goes on sale, but when I saw these shorts online I just had to have them.  I ordered them immediately and am so glad I did because I think they sold out that day.  My impulse shopping did me good for once! 

Happy Monday!
