I destroyed these flats at a wedding a couple weekends ago (please click the “last seen here” link and you’ll see how clean they were pre-mud running…oops). Since it was raining and I had to go in to work, I decided to just go ahead and sacrifice these bad boys to the fashion gods. Luckily, scallops are all the rage right now and there are lots of scalloped flats to choose from. I linked a cute sale pair above (they have a bow and some peep toe action), but I’m kind of feeling the idea of stepping away from suede and going with these leather, perforated ones. So cute, right?

It’s Thrift Thursday so it felt fitting to debut this Express skirt that I snagged at Goodwill for $3 a couple weeks back. A lot of people (including friends of mine) turn their noses up at Goodwill. The trick is to find one that’s not gross, because there are gross Goodwills out there, be in a patient state of mind and understand that you’re going to have to sift.

Sometimes you’ll strike out completely, which can be frustrating, but honestly isn’t that different from shopping at a retail store, at least for me.

The other item I’m debuting is this gorgeous bracelet set from Sira & Mara! I have little wrists and hate ordering bracelets online because it’s hard to guess how big they might be. This set is gorgeous and has a good amount of stretch that keeps them on my wrist and off the ground. 10/10 would recommend.

This is the first body con anything that I’ve bought; I always felt so wide when I tried them on (and sometimes still do.) Something about this skirt drew me in and I’m so glad for it!

Anyone else get super stressed about what to wear to various summer events? I’m headed to DC tomorrow (where has the time gone) and am excited to break out this dress for the first time. Dressbarn launched their DRESSBAR collection a few months ago; they’ve partnered with a variety of designers to update their dress styles and be able to provide options to women of all ages and shapes for each and every special occasion you may have this summer.

I’m a big fan of exposed zippers and was so excited when I saw the one on this dress. The gold looks so pretty and delicate in the center with lace flanking the sides.

Wearing all black during the summer can be daunting, but the blush pink underneath the lace overlay looks so beautiful and the detailing really makes this more than just another little black dress.

This cuff is so gorgeous but a bit too big for my little wrists. I wanted to make sure I had a chance to show it off to you all before I attempt to restring it (fingers crossed.)

How important is it to have a sassy dress for when Beyoncé comes on mid-photo shoot. SO IMPORTANT, Y’ALL.

Thanks so much to Dressbarn for sponsoring this post. All opinions, as always, are my own.

Let me start by saying that I hate flamingos when we’re talking about the tacky yard decoration. But the print is great. I’ve tried to refrain from buying all the flamingo things this summer because I can’t see myself wearing them past the season but this dress jumped out at me while I was at Target last week.

While I was blessed with a booty, I’m not so blessed in the chest region. As I pulled on this dress from the girl’s section of Target, I once again realized my small chest is good for lots of reasons.

For those of you wondering about sizing, I’m 5’4 and wearing the large. The XL was closer to the knee and really the length I prefer but I could not stand the extra fabric under the armpits.

Are you loving flamingos this season? It seems like they just can’t be avoided. Currently crushing on: this phone case, this pretty tank (on sale) that would look fab tucked into a skirt or with skinny jeans, this gorgeous bikini set is calling to me even though I already have a flamingo bikini (oops), and don’t even get me started on how cute this one piece suit is (and currently on sale).

Happy Monday!

Casual Ballpark Outfit for 4th of July

July 3, 2015

Tomorrow’s the 4th of July and one of my favorite things to do is go out to the ballpark.  Louisville Slugger Field can be a lot of fun and I loved watching fireworks from Nationals Park in Washington DC while I lived there.  Sharing a very casual 4th of July inspired outfit that’s easy to recreate with pieces in most closets and makes the perfect ballpark outfit.

I know lots of you probably love a good red, white and blue outfit for the first week of July. While I’m all about the patriotism, blue is one of my favorite colors to wear and my Kentucky loving ways mean I’m always down to rock some blue and white.

Rounding up the theme of things I typically do to celebrate the 4th, today’s outfit is what I might wear to a family barbecue. My grandfather always wanted to get together for the 4th and this year is kind of bittersweet with it being the first year he’s not here to pull us all together for collard greens and ribs.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this Longchamp bag is a “do it all” type and was a great thrift find. This space has been a work in progress since it started, and I’m finally starting to feel comfortable with my little corner of the internet.

Each Thursday, you can expect one item in my outfit post to feature one thrifted item as a way of celebrating #ThriftThursday. Did you catch my feature on Fashion of Goodwill last Friday? You can check it out here.
