Have you ever come across something while you're online shopping and immediately thought, "OMG I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE?" Well, that's me most days, especially when I'm browsing ASOS, but I usually have self-control and refrain from actually buying anything. That was not the case with this dress. I told myself to think about it for an hour while I worked on something else to see if I r e a l l y couldn't live without it (this is a good life skill to work on for those of you out there who love shopping as much as me). And for that entire hour all I could think about was, "What if it sells out of my size before I get a chance to buy it??" I think you guys all know how this story ends.

BUT, I am a firm believer that it's always a good idea to have a few formal dresses on deck for weddings, dressy events, or anything that pops up at the last minute (ESPECIALLY for anything that pops up at the last minute)! I've been in the situation where I've been invited to a formal or black tie event at the last minute, and had to scramble to find something to wear. This not only leaves you with limited options, but can be extremely stressful. So, when you find that perfect dress, treat yourself once in a while, and then find a reason to wear it later. It will look really pretty hanging in your closet until then. And as always, happy shopping Loves!

When Winter Just Won't Leave...

I don't know about you guys, but I've been over winter clothes for at least a month now. Seeing all the warm weather dresses, tops, etc. in stores and online is giving me some major spring fever - not good considering winter just can't seem to let go. Kind of like the Jennifer Aniston movie, "He's Just Not That Into You," I'm just not that into winter anymore. So, I've had to get a little creative with my outfits lately to try and sneak in a spring "touch" while still staying warm. I found this gorgeous sweater at GAP recently (it's on clearance now!) and I'm in love. The lilac color, which is my absolute favorite, combined with the cropped silhouette, gives a fresh look that leans more spring. Pair with cuffed jeans and tan leather booties and you're ready to take on the day in style! This is also a great Casual Friday look for work for those of you who are lucky enough to enjoy that perk. You could also throw an oxford shirt in another pastel hue underneath, and finish with a chunky statement necklace for a more preppy look. Or if the temperature rises above 65 degrees, try this sweater with distressed girlfriend denim shorts and slip on sneakers for running errands. Happy shopping loves! xoxo
