Powder Blue Denim Shift Dress

 

With Fall around the corner, I've begun updating my outfits in preparation of the colder nights. For this outfit I paired a denim shift dress with a white chiffon button-up. The sheer top can be used later in the day to keep me warm.  I decided to pair the whole ensemble with my favorite dalmatian print loafers and a chunky white watch.

 

One of my favorite ways to bring additional layers into an outfit is with a denim or faux leather jacket. Both of them go with everything from a grunge tee and ripped jeans to a gorgeous sundress. In fact, I bring a denim coat with me to work almost every day. You never know when you'll need it!

Dress- Old Navy // Chiffon Top - Lulu's (Similar) // Watch - Oceanaut // Shoes- H&M 

My makeup was minimal, with just a slight smokey eye.  For my hair, I braided a headband and pulled it into a low chignon. Am I the only one who absolutely loves low buns? 

In other news... my boyfriend and I got a new place together! We're so excited to have our own place and feel like adults. I think I'm more excited about being there for Halloween actually. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and ever since I was little I've wanted to decorate my own place with spooky paper bats and stuff. Maybe I'll post some pics for you guys on Instagram!

Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Decorative Hair Chains: Unleash Your Inner Boho Goddess

(Clockwise) 1 // 2 // 3 // 4

At one time or another, most of us have wanted to rock an ethereal festival look while paying next to nothing. Instead, we are faced with the fact that the crochet dress we've fallen in love with at the mall is a pricey $300 and oh...so is all of the matching boho jewelry to go with it. Thankfully those days are over! Decorative hair chains are quickly showing up in stores all over the U.S; making this look now easily within reach. 

What I love about this look is that it's feminine, romantic, and rebellious all in one. Not to mention that they work just as well in a professional setting as they would at Coachella. Anthropologie has introduced some of the most empyreal of the bunch. Perfect for a set of bridesmaids in a rustic wedding.

Summer Maxi Dress

Dress: Forever21 (Similar) // Necklace: Forever 21  
Shoes: Carmen Marc Valvo (Got for only $9 at TJMaxx!)

I can't help but laugh at that last picture...but Adam insists I put it in here. Today I'm sharing with you an outfit post featuring my new (and first) maxi dress. Yes, I know that's pretty sad. This dress was an amazing find I had during a day of outlet shopping. It was really rainy so there wasn't much else to do but stay inside. When I found the dress I was pretty sure it would fail me once I tried it on. I've never been able to buy a maxi dress. They are always too long for me...and I'm not into falling on my face in the name of fashion! I tried it on a whim, pretty much expecting it to fail, but it turned out to be the perfect length!

Because this dress is so natural with it's cotton embroidery and long length, I decided to create a beach look for this outfit. Messy waves, delicate jewelry, neutral makeup and natural wedges helped create this. The real trick to this look is to not think too much about it. Less is better in this situation. Especially when it comes to jewelry! However, if you want to make this outfit a little bolder, I highly suggest going for edgy wedges instead!

Before I go...let me stress the importance of searching your local TJMaxx sale section. The wedges I'm wearing in these photos (can't see them really) were marked down to only $9 on the shelf. They were Carmen Marc Valvo! Their retail price is $195. Score!!
