What I Wore: Just A Few More Steps.

Well, I'm pretty sure you've seen this dress before! The print is just ridiculously cute, you can't just pass it by. I'm trying to lightly pair my outfits together because it's not even a bit chilly here (except a little in the morning) so I'm moving in a much slower pace on the layering aspect. So I kept it simple with a airy blouse and low black socks instead of tights. Entirely wanting to add another pattern to the mix, I opted for my leopard wedges for a bit of an edge. Which is one of my favorite pairs to create when I am wear a cutesy dress, love a hard element to add complexity!

Along The Way: A Vacation Haul.

Hello there! Here is my vacation clothes haul from a few weeks back, just now getting around to posting it, but I wanted to share a few finds I found from my trip home. I didn't want to spend too much, just picked up a few items. Plus, I didn't want to pay a huge fee for my baggage, so I kept it to the items I know I could not find here in Texas. (Or didn't want to pay taxes for! No tax fees in Delaware woot!) I also bought a handful of gifts for others, so I did hold back a bit on buying for myself!

Dresses! The first thing I usually gravitate towards are dresses when I am shopping. My collection is growing mighty strong nowadays so I am entirely looking for prints that uniquely catch my eye!

Left>> The cat print dress! From h&m. Gah! There was no thought process, it was too much for me to even take! (I'm being a bit dramatic!) What's truly grand about this dress is that I have seen this print everywhere, but the piece was always a bit out of my league. So it is quite pleasant to find a dress just as cute if not cuter in my price range.
Right>> The skull print dress was also a great find (also at h&m.) I love skull prints so this was a no brainer! No pun intended. ;)

Left>> The pineapple dress! (From h&m, seeing a theme here ;) ) It's more of a body con dress which I normally steer from, not sure why, but I definitely wanted to step outside of my box. Plus, I crocheted a pineapple bag, so perfect perfect!
Right>> Bought this dress from a local store called Rugged Wearhouse in my hometown, which sells clothing some name brand some not, at reasonable prices. This dress was only 5 bucks, but besides the price, the detail on the back of the dress is super cute. An open circle with a bow attached! (See below!)

(Above) Another dress from Rugged, this one was 2 dollars. Granted the zipper is broken, but I can fix it! The detailing on the dress was too darling to pass up. I'm gonna phase it into the Fall season for sure.

(Above) my inner nerd came racing out when I saw this tee of Superman. Found at Rugged for only 4 bucks. Just too awesome to pass up. Might pair it with a skirt or a pair of printed pants!

Bottoms! I am slowly moving into the world of loving pants and shorts once again (yeah right before Summer ends right?) Even though I am such a huge fan of dresses, the item really has to stand out for me to really jump out and want to get it get it. These pieces did just that!

Right>> Pink shorts from Forever 21. I strolled into the store, overwhelmed as usual by the amount of clothing everywhere. Scanned over a handful of pieces until I found these shorts in the sale section. Immediately the color popped out at me as well as the style. Can entirely see it with a printed blouse and casual flats.

Left>> The cat skirt from h&m. That is all. 

Right>> Floral pants from h&m. Super comfortable pants. I really want to get my wear out of them before Summer ends or I'll have to wait it out until Spring!

Left>> Batman! I actually wanted these leggings from h&m, but I passed on them. I'm glad I did because I found a similar pair at Rugged for less than half of the price! 

(Above) The sole pair ;) of shoes that I purchased har har. From Rugged, only 7 bucks! They were to replace my older ones though there were plenty more I wanted to look at, but alas there was no time! Well my wallet is quite thankful for that!

What I Wore: Well, You Can Dream Dear.

Hello there! It's been blistering hot here in Texas and I have to say, I am quite ready for the somewhat cool Fall times already! Though I will savor the weather that is here for now because I know in due time, I will be saying the exact same thing in reverse. Regarding this little outfit of mine, I have been dying over wearing these leggings with this top, but the top that I bought was missing basically all of its buttons. Finally, I found some buttons to fix it and now I must say this is truly the most comfortable outfit ever! And it's not even a dress, oh my! For the top, I did find it a bit boring and plain, so for an hint of interest, I had a pair of flower earrings and pinned them to the collar of the top!
