Summery White

Dress: Marshall's; Shoes: Loft; Clutch: Francesca's; Watch: Francesca's; 
Necklace: Eastern Market vendor (Washington, DC) 

 It's unofficially summer and nothing feels more like summer than wearing a white dress. Last week, I attended an all-white party hosted by Jessie Holeva.  Other members of Philly FABB were in attendance as well.  The party celebrated the grand opening of Deneen Marcel Lashes located at 525 S. 4th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147.

It was a lovely event and white was the perfect color to wear since it took place during the steamy heatwave Philly experienced last week.

Let's make this week a great one!

I love shopping in stores like the Buffalo Exchange because of the thrill of the hunt, you never know what you'll find.  On my last trip to the store, I got lucky and found this dress in my size.  It has been in weekend rotation for a couple of weeks, but is now making its first appearance on the blog.  

Have you had any luck shopping lately (second-hand or otherwise)?
 

Perennial Favorite

Blazer: Zara - girls section (similar); Top: Swap; 
Skirt: Francesca's; Heels: Loft; Necklace: Shoxie

Happy first of May!



This blazer is a perennial favorite that I found in the girls section of Zara a few years ago.  The older I get, the more grateful I am that I can still shop in the kids section of some of my favorite stores...


Previously Worn: Seersucker and White

Jumpsuited Denim

Jumpsuit: gifted; Denim Jacket: Zara (girls); Wedges: Target; Clutch:

 This outfit truly felt pajama-like and though that's not a goal in my weekend outfits usually, it was a bonus. The weather in Philly was so great over the weekend that I don't even mind that it's rainy today.

Here's to a positive and productive week!

Peachy Dots

Shorts: thrifted; Top: thrifted; Wedges: Target; Earrings: Top Shop

Hi beautiful people! Hope your week is going well. My teenage self would get a kick out of these shorts because I rarely wore shorts as a high school student or even as a college student. To be honest, to this day I feel more comfortable wearing shorts with tights and boots in the winter. But I'm starting to realize that I really ought to wear shorts (without tights) more often while it's still age appropriate for me to wear them on the shorter side.

I'm a little behind on my blog reading but hope to catch up this week.

Who says red white and blue should only be worn on July 4th? Not me!
Have a lovely weekend!

Simple

Dress: swapped; Belt: H&M; Shoes: The Loft; Necklace: Eastern Market vendor

Hot summer days call for simple outfits...I almost left this dress on the rack at a recent swap because it looked kind of plain on the hanger but now I'm happy that I didn't. All the dress needed was a belt and a (brightly colored) necklace. I love simple outfits especially during the summer months. I will definitely remix this dress soon with different accessories.  

Happy Wednesday!

Shopping my Closet

Watch: Francesca's Collections

Happy Monday! Does anybody else feel that the weekend ended way too fast though there was (an American) holiday last week?  Oh, just me?

On another note, I "found" this forgotten top in a drawer earlier this summer.  I decided to hold on to it for a while instead of taking it to the last few clothing swaps I've attended.  I think that discovering forgotten clothing items is almost as fun as going shopping for me without the angst of parting with money...

Here's to a positive productive week!

Dashes of Neon

Tank: Old Navy; Skirt: UO; Vest: swapped; Wedges: Target; Clutch: gifted at IFB Conference; 

Necklace: Target; Watch: Francesca's Collections

I don't feel compelled to participate in every trend that pops up, but bright neon colors have been really fun to wear this season.  Sometimes a dash or two of neon are all you need to bring a little color to a neutral outfit.

Color Jolt

Blazer: H&M (old, similar); Dress: F21; Sandals: Loft (similar); Necklace: ?; Earrings: swapped

For the past two weeks I've given up caffeine (for a 30 day personal challenge), so I rely on my clothes to give me a colorful jolt instead of reaching for a Starbucks brew for a caffeine jolt.  I miss coffee though I could live without it indefinitely, but I would never take a hiatus from wearing colorful clothes.

 

Hope your week is going well!
