Weekend Wear

Hello Lovelies!

It feels like forever since I did a Weekend Wear post, I felt like this was the perfect time of year to bring it back to the blog!

Made using Polyvore.

Skirtin' Into Spring With Charlotte Russe

Hello lovelies!
Recently I've been loving Charlotte Russe! Their dresses and skirts are perfect for spring, and I just couldn't resist showing you some of my faves!

Here's a few I want to add to my closet:

Tribal Print Bodycon Mini Skirt $10.99
The colors in this skirt are so pretty!

Boho Chevron Bodycon Mini Skirt $10.99
I love this chevron print and I think that this is a great transitional piece from winter to spring!

Neon Tribal Bodycon Mini Skirt $10.99
I normally don't like neon colors, but I think the neon and darker colors balance each other out well, and this is definitely a skirt you could wear into summer. If you wanted to, you could pair it with some tights and boots and it would be perfect for fall too! There's endless possibilities with this skirt!

Striped Asymmetrical Mini Skirt $18.99
When I look at this skirt I see Taylor Swift, it just seems like something she would wear! What do you think?

Lace Print Bodycon Mini Skirt $10.99
I think this is another good transitional piece, for early spring days when it's still nippy outside.

Knotted & Striped Asymmetrical Skirt $19.99
I really like this skirt, but I would be nervous to buy it online, let me explain why. In February, I bought a black and white stripe maxi dress at Charlotte Russe and when I got home with it, I realized that it was see through. So if you order this skirt keep that in mind!

Floral Print Double Slit Maxi Skirt $19.99
I normally don't like floral prints, but I love this color combo!

Draped Asymmetrical Skirt $19.99
I love this color, it's perfect for spring!

High- Waisted Knit Maxi Skirt $16.99
I want to add a very simple plain grey or black skirt to my closet.

High-Waisted Bodycon Mini Skirt $9.99
I'm not one to wear white often, because I always manage to get something on it, but I do think that this skirt is very pretty. I just don't know if I can trust myself to wear it out of the house!

What do you think about Charlotte Russe clothes? Let me know below!

January Favorites

Hello lovelies!

Today I will be sharing with you my favorites for the month of January! This month I discovered new favorites and old favorites!

Here's this months favorites!

Favorite Song: Home by Ingrid Michaelson

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of Ingrid, I started listening to her music a few months ago and this is one of my favorites. I've never really been able to explain it to people, but this song explains how I feel about Nashville. I've always loved Nashville since I was a little girl and when I think of home and where I want to spend the rest of my life, I always think of Nashville.

TV Show: Gossip Girl

I starting watching Gossip Girl for the first time ever this month and I'm really loving it, I started watching it two weeks ago and I'm already halfway through season 2!

Movie: Safe Haven

This was another first for me this month, I had wanted to watch this for a while and once I found it on Netflix I had to watch it and I loved it!

Fashion:

I have two of these shirts, one in a beautiful purple and one in a tan shade and I love them! I bought them in October and they've been my go to for Fall and Winter, I love them so much I can see myself wearing these into the spring!

Skin Products:

I actually have two skin products that I've been loving this month.

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream

I love this hand cream I use it every night before I go to bed, I use it on my hands and it also works amazing on chapped lips, words cannot explain how much I love this product.

Simple Kind to Skin Moisturizing Face Wash

My skin has been acting up a little this month, it's mainly my cheeks right below my eyes, that area tends to get red and dry easily, so I've been using this face wash two or three nights a week and it really helps.

Hair Product: OGX Morrocan Argan Oil

I've been using this oil for about two years now, I go in phases with it where I love it and then I can go months without using it at all. Right now I'm REALLY loving it! I've actually been replacing my conditioner and using this instead. On nights when I wash my hair I only shampoo, and when I get out of the shower I run this through my hair, and I cannot believe how much my hair has changed since I started doing this about three weeks ago!

That's it for today, don't forget to check back tomorrow to see a new blog post!

XoXo,

Lori

Links to Love

Hello lovelies,

This week has been full of ups and downs, school this week was great, I accomplished so much! I'm really excited to see what next next week holds!

Today I will be going to the doctor, it's time for my 6-month check-up and full blood work panel to be done, I really hope everything goes okay. Honestly, I haven't been feeling all that great over the past few weeks, I try not to let on about it here on the blog, but it's the truth. I'll let y'all know how it goes at a later date!

Here are a few fun links to spend your weekend looking over!

Blogmas Day 18: Holiday Survival Kit

Hello lovelies,

Today I have for you my Holiday Survival Kit! For me the holidays are mostly amazing, however I am an introvert and I need time by myself to relax and rewind, so I decided to put together a few things that help me get through the holidays with the least amount of stress! Enjoy!

Relaxation

When I'm at home you will find me lounging around in a sweater and either yoga pants or leggings! I like to be comfortable, so I recommend finding that one outfit that you can be comfortable in whether you're alone, or if you have guests over. 

Blank Slouchy Oversized Sweatshirt $24

My ideal time to relax is late at night in bed with my favorite sweater. I love the look of this sweater from Etsy and I want to buy one in every color!

Zella 'Live In' Reversible Leggings $52

These were actually recommended to me by my doctor years ago! I really like that these come in a variety of color which makes them perfect for wearing around the house to add a pop of color!

Bath & Body Works Super Soft Slippers $17

Who doesn't need a good pair of slippers? They're perfect for wearing around the house and they keep your feet nice and warm!

Effortless, Quick, and Easy Make-Up

I love playing around with different make-up styles, however I also have a go-to routine that insures I can get my makeup done in less than 10 minutes. I recommend finding a routine that you can do quickly and that compliments your facial features!

Here's an idea for a quick and easy make-up look this holiday season!

 I always do my eyes first so that if I have any fall-out I can clean it up without messing anything else up.

Start with an eye pencil. I chose this Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Color in the color Cocoa $28.00. I would apply this close to the eyelash line and then either use your fingers or a brush and smudge it out.

Then, eyeliner, I chose this Kat Von D Tattoo Liner $18.00. Apply this like you would any other eyeliner, you can choose to keep it simple, or you can wing it out, your choice!

Then you would apply mascara and your eyes would be done!

Now for your face, I chose this Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation $38.00 !

After applying your foundation you can go in with your bronzer, blush, or highlighter, if you want. 

Then the lips, for an everyday natural look I would just apply lip balm. But if you wanted to go a little more festive I would recommend the NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Luxembourg $22.50 !

That's it for lips, and you're done! Of course with everything I've listed above you can use your fingers to apply, but personally I prefer to use make-up brushes, so I would recommend the It Cosemtics Your Face & Eye Essentials Mini 5pc Travel Brush Set $30!

Extras

I chose to include a few extras for you to consider this holiday season! 

Ghiradelli Peppermint Bark Stand Up Bags Bundle $20

I think this it's a good idea to keep something sweet on standby just in case someone gets low blood sugar. I also think these would be a really cute idea to hand out to your guests as little gifts before they leave.

Yankee Candles (Prices Vary)

I gotta admit I am a candle hoarder! I love candles, I can't get enough, if I'm in a store I can't pass the cand;e isle without stopping to smell at least one! One of my favorite candle brands is definitely Yankee Candle, my favorite scent is definitely Vanilla Cupcake and French Vanilla. I would recommend you get a few good candles this season to help you relax, to use as gifts, or just to make your house smell amazing!

Starbucks Holiday Blend for Two Gift Set $27.

I don't know about you, but I always forget someone on my Christmas list. I would highly recommend you buy a few extra gifts to have sitting around just in case!

Urban Outfitters Polaroid Camera $100

Sadly this camera is sold out, but it still serves it's purpose in this post. Make sure you have a camera nearby, even if you think you don't need it because you have your phone, get a camera, you don't want to risk missing out on taking a photo you'll remember forever.

So that is it for my little survival guide! I don't know about you, but I really enjoyed sharing with  you that quick make-up look! What did you think? If you want me to do more like it, let me know below!

What's in your Holiday Survival Kit?

Blogmas Day 12: Over $100 Holiday Gift Guide

Hello lovelies,

Today I'm bringing you my Under $100 Holiday Gift Guide! As of right now, this will be my final gift guide for this year, but if you want to see more, then let me know below and I'll try to do another!

Today I only have 13 items for you, but I think you're really going to like them, so let's get started!

Goodnight Macaroon Beige Navy Blue Trim Structured Collar Trecnch Coat $188.00 $138.00

I really like the look of this trench coat, I like more structured pieces, plus it's on sale!

Gucci Guilty Intense Eau de Parfum Spray 2.5oz $112.00

I've never actually smelled this for myself, but I've had it recommended to me time and time again and I really want to get a sample of it to try.

Tria Hair Removal Laser 4x $449.00

I HATE having, I hate it, if I had $449 to pay for this I would buy it in a hearbeat! When I first saw commercials for the Tria I thought it was just some gimmicky product, but from the reviews I've seen it's actually the real deal, and it's a lot cheaper than other options.

Keurig K10 Single Serve Brewer, Mini Plus $150.00

I don't drink coffee often, but when I do I usually only drink one cup and I'm done, so a single serve coffee maker is perfect for me because I hate wasting stuff.

L.L. Bean Classic Lambswool Duffel Coat $229.00

I love this Molten Red color, I've been searching for a coat like this for a while, I just never thought of looking at L.L. Bean for one! Sadly I've already bought a coat for this winter, but next winter I'll make sure to remember this!

Goodnight Macaroon Pearl Diamond Sterling Silver Earrings $118.00
I feel like a nice pair of pearls is a timeless and foolproof gift for women of all ages, this particular pair comes in three colors, white, purple, and pink. Personally I prefer the white, but it's nice to have the option of getting a different color if you wanted something different.

Tuckernuck Bristol Men's Watch Daniel Wellington $229.00
I really like this watch, I think it's very simple and it could be worn by pretty much any guy on your list!

Ann Mashburn Box-Pleat Skirt $225
I really like this piece because it has a classy timeless style and I also really love that it has pockets!

Chi Ultra CHI Orbit 3 in 1 Tourmaline Cermaic Curler $120.00
I really need a new curling iron, I like this set becuase it's the quality of a CHI, but you get three sizes! I think this is definitely worth the price, plus it's easier to store and keep organized compared to three full-size curling irons.

Citizens of Humanity Skinny Stretch Leggings (Axle) $178.00
I really love the look of these leggings, they really do look like jeans, and I love black jeans!

Hunter Sandhurst Equestrian Boots $175.00
When I first saw these boots I didn't like them, but they've started to grow on me, and now I want them!

Clarisonic Mia 3 Replenishing Moisture Cleanse $199.00
I mentioned this in yesterday's post I've had an urge to buy a new face brush even though I really don't need one! But I decided to go ahead and include it to give y'all some ideas!

Urban Decay Naked Vault $280.00
This one really doesn't need an explanation, this is on pretty much every girls 'If I Could Have Anything This Christmas Wishlist'!

That's it for this post, I hope you liked it! My 5 Words for this week will be up in a little while, make sure you read it, I received some of the best news ever yesterday and I talk about it in that post!

XoXo,

Lori

Blogmas Day 11: Under $100 Holiday Gift Guide

Hello lovelies,
Today I have for you my Under $100 Holiday Gift Guide! I have lots of goodies for you today, and I'm so happy I can finally share them with you!

Let's get started!

Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush $89.50
I've had my eye on this brush for a while, I love Clinique and I love the design of this brush. I've been wanting this for about a year, the only problem is I already have a brush by another brand and even though I want it, I really don't need it.

Anne Klein Hinge Case Watch, 32mm $55.00
The one thing I really want for Christmas this year is a watch, I don't have any watches, and I really want to get a nice watch before I go off to college next year.

Hunter Original Ballet Flats $89.00 Final Sale
I'm in desperate need of a new pair of flats, the problem is I can't find any that come in my size and that give my feet the support they need. Unfortunately because these are final sale they no longer have my size, but I decided to go ahead and include them in case any of you can find your size, it's a great deal and they have five colors, enjoy!

The Fine Pearls 6-7mm Black Akoya Pearl Earrings AAA Quality $58.00
When you think of pearls you don't think of black pearls, you think of pretty white or cram colored pearls. That's why I love this pair of earrings, you still get your traditional pearls, just with a twist!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette $54.00
I really love the rosy colors in this palette, I never really was a fan of the Naked 2 palette, but I immediately fell in love with the Naked 3 as soon as I saw the first pictures after it's release!

Nordstrom at Home 'Deer Date' Plush Throw $38.00
I really love this Red Earth/Cream Turtledove color, I love buying soft blankets, and this one is so cute, plus at the moment it's actually on sale for  $28.49!

Nordstrom Buffalo Plaid Cashmere Scarf $99.50
I've always loved buffalo plaid, so the fact that it's super trendy right now makes me really happy! This cashmere scarf would be perfect for that special guy on your list that you want to keep warm and toasty this winter! ;)

J. Crew JD Wolfe Heart Bowels $36.00
When I first saw these bowels my first impression was oh my God those are so cute! Then when I saw the price my mind was blown, I was expecting these to be over $100, I think this would be the perfect gift for anyone who's just got a new place!

Tuckernuck Christmas Sweater Needlepoint Flask $65.00
I don't think there's any explanation needed for this one!

Barefoot Dreams 'Cozy Chic' Multi-Stripe Throw $98.00
I love the color combo on this throw!

Ted Baker London 'Small Bow' Cosmetics Case $45.00
I love this Mid Pink color, it's so bright and fun, the only thing I would worry about is keeping it clean.

Tory Burch 'Evie' Faux Pearl Stud Earring $68.0
I've had my eyes on these for a few months now and my love for them still has faded! They look so classy and timeless and I'm in love!

Torrid Strappy Riding Boot (Wide Width) $70.00
I love the design of these boots, they're exactly what I've been searching for and I love that they aren't a shiny black, it's more of a matte black, which makes them even more versatile! AND they have my size! Honestly, my bank account hates me, and I hate it because it doesn't have enough money in there to buy them, college applications and the ACT are killing me! *Finds a corner to go cry in*

Renne Rouleau Cio Calm Repair Masque $52.00
I'm really interested in trying this masque, the only thing stopping me from buying it is the price tag and the fact that I'm scared my sensitive skin will have a bad reaction to it.

Scout Miss Manors Blackout Scout $59.00
So I've already mentioned that I want to buy a watch before going off to college, I also want to invest in a really good bag. I found this bag a few months ago and I still haven't found anything else that tops it! I decided to include this because of the price and because with an extra $12.00 you can personalize it!

Fashion to Figure Plus Size Glenda Glitter Dress $44.50
I'm in love with this dress, I love the color, the ruching under the bust, and the length!

Before I sign off for today I did want to mention that one a few of these items the prices are actually lower than I listed above. At the moment Nordstrom is doing a sale, I'm not sure how long it will last so I decided to put the regular price, instead of the sale price on the items I included from Nordstrom.

So that's it for today, I hope you enjoyed it! Don't forget tomorrow I'll be posting my Over $100 Holiday Gift Guide!
Let me know below what you think!

Lori

Blogmas Day 10: 10 Holiday Party Dresses

Hello lovelies,
With the Holiday season in full swing I've come to realize that I really don't own any dresses that could be considered Holiday dresses. In my closet I only have four dresses, two summer dresses, one formal dress, and one that could be worn pretty much anywhere.

So after realizing that I decided it's time to invest in some more dresses and so I've been searching the internet and I've come up with 10 Holiday Party Dresses that I would love to buy!

I've ordered these by price, lowest to highest! While I do love the last dress in this post I definitely won't be buying it because I don't have $500.00 to spend on something I would rarely ever wear, but if you have the money, I say go for it!

So, here's my picks for this Holiday season!

Forever 21 Sequined Textured Knit Dress $24.90

Charlotte Russe Lace-Back Halter Shift Dress $26.99

Charlotte Russe Cold Shoulder Bodycon Sequin Dress $36.99

Charlotte Russe Sequin & Lace Strapless Skater Dress $39.99

Fashion to Figure Plus Size Glenda Gliter Deep V Dress $44.50
This is my fave! I love the color, the ruching under the bust, and the length!

Dolman Metallic Ombre Dress $109.00
This is my second favorite, again I love the color, the length, and I think the ombre looks amazing!

Ann Taylor Boucle Sweater Dress $109.99

Dress the Population 'Kim' Sequin Body-Con Dress $180.00

Adrianna Papell Sequin Cutaway Sheath Dress $238.00

Topshop Online Exclusive Chain Embellished Shift Dress $500.00

What to Wear: Thanksgiving

Hello lovelies, I cannot believe next Thursday is Thanksgiving! Today, I will be showing you three Thanksgiving outfits, a casual outfit, a formal outfit, and then one completely using pieces from my favorite boutique, KiKi La Rue!

First up is A Casual Thanksgiving! 

Earrings / Necklace / Shirt / Jeggings / Booties

Second is A Formal Thanksgiving.

Bracelet  / Dress / Shoes

Last is this outfit I put together by KiKi La Rue.

Necklace / Bracelet / Top / Pants / Boots

Confession, I'm in love with Piko tops, if I had the money I'd buy one in every color. I love the Goldenrod color above, but my favorite is the Midnight Blue, it's so beautiful, but it's sold out everywhere, I cannot find it and I need it!

What are your thanksgiving plans? Which outfit do you prefer?

XoXo,

Lori

Weekend Wear: Southern Shirt

Leggings: Zella 'Live In' Reversible Leggings

Boots: Torrid Strappy Riding Boot

I love the color of this Southern Shirt, it's one of my favorite colors and I think mixed with the darker colors it adds a pop of color to fall fashion!

That's all for today, I hope you enjoyed it! What do you think about Southern Shirt? Let me know below!

Fabulous Flats

Hello lovelies, As the weather cools down I've been desperately searching for a new pair of flats. Sadly this past spring, after three years of daily wear, my favorite pair of flats gave out.

 I still haven't thrown them away, and I've been wearing them recently, but my feet are starting to hate me for it, so I think it's time to retire them, and I will, just not till I find a new pair!

I've been searching high and low, but I just can't seem to find any flats that I like, that I can afford, AND that are actually in my size. I've finally got to the point where I know I'm going to either have to order online or travel two hours to the nearest Nordstrom. I think I'm going to try online first, and if that doesn't work then I'll make the trip to Nashville.

Here are a few flats that I'm loving but can't have, and even thought I can't enjoy some of  them (either because of the price tag or because I've been cursed with giant feet), I hope you can. 

From left to right:
One. Two. Three. Four.  Five. Six.

Honestly I think I've decided to go with a pair of Tory Burch flats, I haven't decided which pair I'm going to get, but I'll keep you updated on that.

 That's all for today, I hope you liked it! What are your favorite pair of flats? Do you think I should buy the Tpry Burch flats, or do you recommend another brand? Let me know below!

Lori

Fall Wishlist: H&M Edition

Hello lovelies, I'm not feeling too well today, I have a horrible migraine, so today's post is going to be short and sweet.

I don't do a lot of shopping, I like to buy a few items that I love, rather than buy a lot of things that I'll never wear. It's been a while since I've  done a lot of shopping and because of that I need a lot!

Most of what I need this year is really basic items, one thing that I plan on buying a lot of is extra long tank tops, I love the look of them and I currently own zero, so that's definitely going to change. I also want to invest in more sweaters and maybe get a new pair of boots.

Long Tanks, iPhone Case, Fine-Knit Sweater, Cuff Bracelet, Shoes, Bag

Of course there's more than just the basics that I want, I've been trying to add more color in to my closet, and more patterns too. To be honest most of the clothes I own are black or white, so I'm trying to change that.

In fact, just yesterday I went shopping and I bought a new cardigan and a new blouse and neither of them are black. I also bought a new pair of leggings and I went into Cato's to look around and I found a winter coat, so that's one less thing I have to buy, yay!

So here are some more things I'm thinking about buying, I really love stripes and I love flowy tops, so that's a big thing in my closet!

Sweater Dress, Sweater Dress, Long blouse, Jersey Tunic, Jersey Leggings, Jeans, Running Tights
So that's all for today, I hope you liked it! I think I'm going to do a haul to show you all what I got, I'm really excited and I never really show y'all what I buy, so I'll try to get that up maybe next week!
XoXo,
Lori

Fall Wishlist: Dresses

Hello lovelies, I hope you're having a great day! Today I decided I would show you some of the dresses I've been loving, I'm a big fan of Taylor Dresses and Eliza J dresses, so of course they made an appearance on this list!

Tahari Empire Waist Fit & Flare Dress $138.00

I love the color of this dress, it's perfect for this fall.

BB Dakota 'Renley' Lace Fit & Flare Dress $88.00

I love blue dresses, it doesn't matter what shade of blue, I LOVE blue!

Taylor Dresses Stripe Sweater Dress (Plus Size) $148.00

Something I love more than blue dresses is blue and black striped dresses!

Eliza J Knit Fit & Flare Dress ( Regular and Petite) $98.00

I love wearing sweater dresses during the fall, depending on how cold it is I usually pair it with tights or leggings and of course boots!

FELICITY & COCO Jersey Maxi Dress $88.00

My goal this fall is to buy more maxi dresses, I only have one and it's not really something I could wear in the Fall/Winter, so I definitely need more. I really like this one, but I'm not really sure how I would style it.

So that's all for today, will you be buying any of these dresses? Let me know what you think below!

Lori

8 Fall Booties You Can Wear Now

Hello lovelies, with fall on it's way, I thought I'd share with you some booties that you can start wearing now. Now it's no secret that I love boots, and if you knew me in real life, then you'd know that I start wearing boots ASAP every year.

Honestly, I'm so over summer and I'm so ready for the weather to cool down.

Sadly it doesn't look like that's going to happen for a few more weeks. But it really doesn't matter, a little heat's never stopped me from wearing my boots before, and it certainly didn't stop me yesterday when I wore them with a high of 88!

In order from left to right:
One. Two. Three. Four.  Five. Six. Seven. Eight.
What's your favorite pair of booties? What's your opinion on wearing boots when it's still 90 degrees outside?

Adorable Summer Dresses

As you probably know by now if you've been following me for a while, I'm a Fall/Winter type girl, and there isn't many things I like about the summer season. However, one thing I do like about summer is that the weather is perfect for wearing dresses!

If you had asked me a few years ago if I liked wearing dresses I would have said no, but over the past year or two I've really grown to love dresses.

From left to right:
Top: Abaday Dress, Chiffon Work Dress, Mango Dress
Bottom: Black and White, Multi-Colored Dress

Which dress is your favorite? Let me know below!

Beach Bags Under $50

When you're going to the beach, a beach bag is an essential, it keeps all your stuff together, and keeps sand from getting all over everything. I personally don't like to spend a lot of money on something like a beach bag because they just don't last long.

While looking online I found some great beach bags all under $50 to share with you, so now all that's left is choosing one!

Top Row: 1 , 2

Middle Row: 1 , 2

Bottom Row: 1 , 2

Which tote is your favorite? Let me know below!

Weekend Wear

I wanted to make another post earlier this week, but I just didn't have the energy for it, so now that I'm starting to feel better, I thought it was time for me to sit down and write.

I've been wanting to do a blog post like this for a while now, but I just didn't have time, between school and studying for last weekends ACT, but now I'm done with the ACT for awhile ( hopefully) and now I have time to write again!

Over the past few months I've been trying to include more fashion related posts in my blogging schedule and it's been about a month since my last fashion post, so I think today is the perfect day to get back into that!

Link to all items above.

This isn't going to be a weekly series, but I think I'm going to start doing a weekend wear post a few times a month. I had a lot of fun making this, and hopefully you enjoy it.

 So I guess that's all for today, let me know in the comments what you think!

What are you doing this weekend? Any fun plans?

Dressing Like a (Young) Professional

Last year after I turned 16 I decided I wanted to get a job to save some money for college. Well that didn't turn out as I planned, I applied, and applied, and applied some more, but nothing.
So I stopped looking.

In March when I turned 17 I decided to start looking again, and so far I still haven't found anything, I've turned in about 10 applications and I still haven't heard anything yet, but I still have hope that something will pop up soon.

While filling out these applications, I started thinking about the future, and about what I want to do after I graduate high school. I know I want to go on to college, I'm just not sure what career path I want to go down.

(I'm thinking about majoring in Psychology with a minor in History.)

After I started thinking about all the different career choices, I started to think about the different work environments, and workplace dress codes.

 Then a little light bulb flashed in my head, I knew immediately that I wanted to make a blog post about this. 

Recently I've been trying to do more fashion-y type blog posts so I thought this would be the perfect excuse to do a fashion post.

I tried to incorporate different styles, to suite different careers. You can't wear dresses in all careers, and you can't wear a pantsuit in others, every career and workplace is different, and that's great! 

Now that I look at it, I realize that the third set is kind of all over the place, but that's okay!

My favorite set out of the three is definitely the first set. I used to hate dresses and NEVER wear them, but for the past year I've kinda become obsessed and I want to buy every dress I see (but I don't).

Anyway that's all for today, I really hope you like it, and let me know what you think below.
XoXo,
