a few little closet additions
well hello there! hope you are all having a wonderful week! are you surviving this heat wave? i need to post some outfits, but i think the heat is just taking all my motivation! as soon as i get home, i just want to go straight to bed. until i get in gear, i wanted to share a few of my latest closet additions.
wedges: i saw these at dsw a few weeks ago and they reminded me of a much more expensive miu miu pair from a few years back. i liked the taupe color. these have become a staple in my summer wardrobe already.
did you pick up any good deals recently? summer is always the hardest season to shop for me. i never feel like dressing in anything other than a chemise and flip flops and fall clothes are too tempting to resist.

Forever21 lightweight jacket
$27 - forever21.com
blazer: last week i wore this heritage1981 blazer over everything. it was the perfect layer to add for work (inside) when i was in practically a tank top and shorts outside. and the polka dot lining is too cute for words.

Forever21 peacock skirt
$15 - forever21.com
skirt: i haven't worn this one yet, but can't wait to pair it with grey wooly tights in the fall. i think it is a little too short to wear without tights at work, but maybe it will come out and play this weekend. you know i can't resist a girly, whimsical print.

Silk shorts
$40 - anthropologie.com
shorts: these tracy reese dottie shorts i found on sale at my local anthro! they only had one pair and it was my size! hooray! i had never seen them in person since none of the local stores carried them. i took a size 8. this is the same size i wear in tracy reese dresses, but i took a size 10 in the paper boy shorts.

Forever21 blue rhinestone necklace

anthropologie collecting dots dress fitting review and styling options
let's talk about how i was in the fitting rooms at anthropologie for over an hour trying on the collecting dots dress to see how i could make it work. luckily for you, i had my camera phone to share all the photos :)
first things first: sizing. luckily for me, i could make the x-small work. this is two sizes smaller than the size for the essential sumer shift. so my advice? size down.

while i was in the fitting room, i also saw some ladies try on the dress without sizing down. it did not look bad... it was just blousey/breezy (as in the catalog shot). i preferred the fit of the xs. (small gave me a pooch, even when belted. but i realize some smaller bodies will probably look just fine in the breezier fit.)
so i started by adding a slip and the woven junctions belt:

then i took the slip off and started playing around with accessories, like using the belt from the mompos dress:

and then, it got wild. well, wild for me. i added a belt (the offhand belt in blue, small) and a blazer (the lolling blazer in a size 6).

loved it. (oh and it also looked cute with the blue beribboned belt and just the offhand belt, without blazer).
