This LOFT dress is one of my top 3 favorite dresses currently in my closet right now.  It's so light & comfy & I feel like it fits so well! I def recommend sizing down though, it runs big.

whoop! whoop!

So... remember when I talked here about being jealous of the perfect red lipstick... well, I may have found my favorite.  And guess what? It was from CVS... and it is Revlon.  I usually go with the sticks that look like oversized pens, you know those big guys? but the other day when I went looking they were sold out of all of the red shades, so I decided to be adventurous. I'm so glad I did! The color isn't too orange, which I feel like has been a problem for me in the past.

StyleFiles: Life's A Dance

|| Wearing ||

Dress: Lavender Boutique {exact} - almost sold out!

Bralette: Francesca's {exact} 

Sandals: H&M (old) {Love these!} - 50% OFF!

Bag: Kate Spade {similar}

You know that song 'Life's A Dance'? The lyrics go something like:

"Life's a dance you learn as you go

Sometimes you lead,

Sometimes you follow

Don't worry about what you don't know

Life's a dance you learn as you go"

Well a) I just really like that song but b) the lyrics are so applicable to my life right now... way too much worrying about silly things I can't control or I am afraid I don't know enough about. I am my own worst enemy.  And sometimes that stops me from stopping, taking a breath, and dancing.  So, today I am reminding myself that God is in the lead, I am following Him, and I am going to dance about it.... 

Wishing you the happiest of Wednesday! 

Don't forget to get your twirl on :)

StyleFiles: Summer Print Mixing

Playing with prints is currently a summertime pastime obsession of mine. Stripes and florals are my favorite combo but I don't discriminate! Bring on the polka dots, grid prints, and geo prints too! 

|| Outfit Deets ||

Striped Scoop Neck Tee: Lavender Boutique {exact}

Floral Drawstring Shorts: Gap Outlet {sold out} {love these -only $25!}

Cobalt Flats: Express {love these} AND {these!}

|| Styling Tips ||  

~ Stay in the same color scheme when mixing 

~ Smaller prints work best together, if the prints are too big it can be overwhelming

~ You want one pattern to have a solid base for example, the shorts I am wearing have a navy base, it serves as an anchor for the complete look

This may be my first print mixing post for the season, but I can promise you it's not my last.  #youhavebeenwarned :)
