 On the weekends, I love to really play with what I wear and this was such a fun outfit. Pictured with my friend Leah, Ro and my mama.

What I Wore: Tropicana

what I wore: dress – grey dog, arm party – mae’s/vintage/dannijo/express, lips – covergirl outlast in everreddy & covergirl lip perfection in hot (seriously this requires no reapplication), belt/shoes – forever21

I first tried on this beauty at grey dog a few weeks ago, I tried to resist but soon $ was burning a hole in my pocket and forced me back in the shop. Now, I’m so glad I went. What would my wardrobe have been without this adorable tropicana confection? It’s a vacation in dress form.

What I Wore: Paisley

what I wore: dress – willie’s influence thrifted from potter’s house, heels – jessica simpson, necklace – kate spade, watch – bcbg, bracelets – vintage, gifted & house of harlow, rings – forever21 & mae’s
This shoulder-padded, floral, paisley, draped, harem concoction was around $3. So, you know, I was all over that.

What I Wore: Florals

what I wore: dress – tracy feith for target, necklace – forever21, heels – kelsi dagger, pashmina – italy
This dress can be worn like so with a low back or turned around an worn low cut in the front with an exposed zipper. It’s multifunctional!

The Best Skirt/Dress

what I wore (previously): skirt – esque, belt/blouse – vintage via cheap thrills, earrings – charm & chain, ring/bangle – mom’s, bangle – house of harlow, sandals – lovely people, necklaces – vintage via mae’s
There is a lovely local designer in NWA called Leslie Pennel, her line is esque. I was lucky enough to pick up the above (what I thought was a) skirt from her line at Cheap Thrills.

I loved it as a skirt and while I am typically good at seeing the many ways one item can be worn, it was lost on me. The designer was nice enough to enlighten me to it’s many uses, which I utilized at the beach. If nothing else, it’s a reminder that we can wear the things in our closets in so many different ways.

what I wore: dress – esque by leslie pennel via cheap thrills, belt – vintage, arm party – mae’s/vintage/dannijo

What I Wore: Polka Dots & Python

what I wore: dress – vintage via grey dog, platforms – bamboo via tj maxx, also here, belt – forever21

Isn’t this such a fun little number? I knew it would be perfect with my $10 platforms.

What I Wore: Beat the Heat

what I wore: pants – old navy, heels – FRH via tj maxx (see here), blouse & necklace- vintage, bracelet – a gift

When the temperature is over 100 there’s really not much I want to wear. I want to be a cool as possible. The best way I’ve found to do that is a) not get dressed or b) wear white. Since not getting dressed for work is typically frowned upon, white was the answer.

What I Wore: Muted Flowers

what I wore: dress – laura ashley via grey dog, heels – kelsi dagger, earrings – forever21
One of my favorite, most versatile dresses ever. It did get a little warm in the 100 degree + Arkansas heat, though.

What I Wore: White Heat

what I wore: dress – pinwheels via grey dog, earrings – cheap thrills, bracelet – mae’s, heels – forever21, lips – covergirl lip perfection in hot over covergirl outlast longwear in everreddy (I never have to reapply)

I have really positive feelings associated with this dress. I picked it out especially for our engagement pictures. Then wore it to a party and when we toured the Amalfi coast on our honeymoon. So, it always makes me happy to wear it. It doesn’t hurt that it’s super comfortable.
