Rompin’ Stompin’ Blues

Standard

Hey everyone!
Today’s outfit is super simple and casual, perfect for a summer day of just eating lunch and running errands around town. Check it out:
picisto-20130630000310-970969Navy romper: Daisy Exchange, $5
Bronze gladiator sandals: Walmart, $7
Bronze flower clip earrings: thrift store, $0.99
Braided leather headband: gift
Leopard bracelet: gift
Outfit total: $13

So I was on the fence for a long time about this whole romper phenomenon. At first, I was completely disgusted by rompers (much like with leggings). Then I reluctantly was won over by the comfort and convenience  (much like with leggings). But I could never seem to find any that looked decent on me. Then one day when I was shopping at Daisy Exchange, I found this simple romper on clearance. It’s made of cotton, which I preferred to some of the more unflattering, thinner material of rompers that I had tried on before, and I decided to give it a shot. I ended up absolutely loving.
It’s such a convenient thing to throw on during the summer, and it’s cool and easy to accessorize. I went with my usual bronze accents for a casual look. Hopefully you like my laid-back summer style!

Summer Lovin’

Standard

Hello, Friends!
It is officially summer here in Oklahoma, because we have officially opened our pool (which, if you haven’t read about on my other blog, was an enormously embarrassing trial for me that you can check out here). Tonight I’m going to bring you one of my favorite outfits of the season so far. It’s a very adorable dress that I have already worn six or seven times since getting it a couple weeks ago:

Floral print dress: Gap outlet, $7.49
Bronze gladiator sandals: Walmart clearance, $7
Bronze heart necklace: Body Central, $1
Pink flower earrings: Cato, gift from my mom
Leather bracelet: gift from friend

I was beyond excited when I saw this dress on such huge clearance at the Gap store in our local outlet mall. There was a lot of them left, and I could not understand why everyone wasn’t buying them up! I thought the print was adorable, and I loved the colors. Flutter sleeves also tend to be a flattering look on most people. I also think the deep vee neck is a flattering neckline on me. I just loved everything about it.
The sandals are my favorite ones; I got them at Walmart ages ago and I wear them constantly in the summer, especially with the bronze heart necklace, which is probably my favorite. I’ve featured both pretty frequently on here haha. I was originally going to wear bronze earrings, but then I happened to see the pink flower ones my mom got me at Cato on clearance a while ago, and thought they just matched the print of the dress perfectly. The bracelet was a souvenir my friend brought me back, and it felt like it added just the right touch. Here’s a closer view of all the jewelry and the print of the dress:

I’m pretty sure this dress is going to be my go-to dress for the summer, because you can dress it up or down, and I can accessorize it with pretty much anything.
I felt lovely in this outfit, and hopefully you like it, too!

Pax,
