Out of Heavy Rotation

Dress: ?, Walmart brand

Necklace: Kohls

Before I started blogging, this was one of those sundresses that I would wear multiple times over the course of the summer. I still love it, but it's out of heavy rotation now. Wearing more things out of my closet is probably my favorite part of blogging. I now choose outfits based on 1) whether it's been blogged or not and 

2)if I want to take pictures that day. It's a whole different mindset. 

The blogger in me also had to add the necklace, so that the outfit is a little more special :)

My coworker loved what she called my "cheerleading" skirt.  I've had this skirt for a while, but the fabric is heavier so I thought it would be too hot for summer weather. Surprisingly, the structure of the fabric kept it away from my skin. I love how the fabric keeps the pleating and am so happy that I won't have to ever have to iron this skirt!

Loving this arm party too! I'm so into layering bracelets. 

In desperate need of a gold watch now....

Skirt: old

Necklace: Mervyns and handmade

Bracelet: ?

Purse: Thrifted $3

Sandals: Payless $5

I'm loving all the natural colored open weave sweaters and crocheted details this season. I ordered a bunch of this style from Victoria's Secret to try out, because they do a really good job of photographing their clothing. When I received them though, they just weren't as cute as the picture, especially for the price. I love that you can return online orders in stores now, but the process does take awhile.

Do you buy clothing from Victoria's Secret?

A Grenade for you..

Shirt: Marshalls $7

Cargo pants: Ross?

Wedges: Kohls

Necklace: Thrifted $6

I was so excited to find this necklace and stalked it for awhile because I thought it was pricey at $12 at a thrift shop. I waited until the end of the month and was excited to find that no one had picked it up during the 50% off day. Maybe because it was pretty heavy. It is inscribed with the word "India" on the clasp so I'm sure I won't be finding anything like it soon. It's so unique and I wanted to extend the whole grenade vibe by wearing military inspired clothing.

You're wearing rainboots with that?

Dress: Ross $0.50! 

Rainboots: Charlotte Russe $10 

Green Bracelet: c/o ShopLately

Yellow Bracelet: Sway, $2

Photographer: my BFF

Here's another set of pics that my best friend took. I'm not usually one to post multiple pictures of the same outfit, but she took such great pictures, 

I hope you'll indulge me just this once :)

BFF didn't get the look I was going for with my rainboots and another one of my ultimate bargain dresses, but I love it. It's one of those outfits in my head, that I wasn't sure

 I'd ever have the perfect weather or occasion to wear it. 

 I'm so happy the outfit lives in blogger land now!
