What I'm wearing:
*H&M Striped Sweater Knit Dress (similar here)
*H&M Tan Belt (similar here)
*Steve Madden Nataliaa Platform Sandals in Cognac (on sale!)
*H&M Canvas Bag (similar here)
*Forever 21 Reading Glasses Necklace
Even though it is hit or miss most of the time, I know that I can depend on H&M for great trendy pieces at reasonable prices. Both the striped sweater dress and canvas bag are recent buys that I am super excited about.
For those that like the Steve Madden Nataliaa's, they are on sale on the website for $40! I have them in both colors, and wear them all the time since they really go with everything.They are surprisingly comfortable for the height, even though sometimes when I'm out I do need to sit down occasionally.
Hope everyone had a great weekend! I sure did, was able to catch up with a college girlfriend, E, and explore what Atlanta had to offer! After a fun Friday night was able to enjoy Saturday with a delicious brunch at Rosebud and some gelato. YUM, what a fabulous way to spend the weekend.
Went to go see Eat Pray Love with my sister yesterday, and I have to say that I wasn't really impressed with the movie. I wasn't a huge fan of the book to start with (read it for a book club ages ago) but I do adore Julia Roberts, and hoped that it would be a fun movie adaptation. It was a beautifully set movie, and Julia looked fantastic throughout, but the story just didn't go anywhere, and there were definitely parts of the movie where I kept looking at my watch, hoping that it was over soon. I did decide that I would love to go to Bali one day though.
Also just wanted to shoutout a very Happy Sweet 16 to my baby sister Teresa!!! =) I can't believe you are all grown up now.
That's a great dress. Before you mentioned it, I was thinking to myself that I love the horizontal and vertical stripes together.
ReplyDeleteI'm disappointed that the movie was that great! I haven't seen it but I want to. I'll just bring plenty of snacks to keep me occupied. :)
Perfect outfit and perfect dress. You're a perfect example that vertical stripes do NOT make you clownish.. xo

I like how you paired the black/white with unexpectedly more rugged brown pieces. You look great :)
ReplyDeleteI love the slight checkerboard pattern along the hemline. It's a unique and interesting touch. Very cute! And thanks for the heads-up about Eat, Pray, Love. I'm reading the book now and devoured the section on Italy (please excuse the pun!), but I just can't seem to make it through the rest of the book qith quite the same zest.
ReplyDeleteH&M is generally a miss for me, but I can always find really great stuff in the mens department. I guess I don't look deeply enough for the cute pieces, such as this dress.

This dress is another example of a piece that I would never go for but then i see it on you and drooooolllll! You look fantastic- and I'm kind of glad to hear Eat, Pray, Love was bad because I kept looking at the promos like, "Really? You want me to watch that? Because of that one picture of Julia Roberts eating gelato? No." Ha :)
ReplyDeleteLove the dress. I may have to hit H&M tomorrow! :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, I discovered your blog recently and loved the Nataliaa shoes so much I ordered them (yes, on sale for $39.99). They arrived today and cant wait to wear them.
Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the mixed stripes on that dress! So graphic and fun. Fantastic outfit!
ReplyDeleteAnything that is reminiscent of Beetlejuice gets a big thumbs up from me. And you did a great job styling it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this look! It's so effortless and just plain gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOMG how did I miss this awesome striped piece when I was at H&M the other day? I need to go try that on, ASAP.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I bought the Nataliaa in both colors, returned the cognac because it ran smaller than the black (?!) but now I want both again seeing them on you. Hmm...
