*Dolce Vita "Jacquie" Clog Sandal in Black
*Forever 21 Chunky Turquoise Necklace (similar here)

Attempting to stay cool during this heatwave. (Don't worry, I wore a simple black cardigan buttoned over this at work.) This dress is a gem I found hidden deep in my sister's closet, it's from a few years ago but it's perfect for this hot weather.

What I'm wearing:
*Forever 21 Polka Dot Knit Romper
*anthropologie Looping Lanes Belt
*Aerosoles Lace-up Wedges
*Forever 21 Scalloped Purse

It has seriously been too hot to wear real clothes lately. This little romper came in handy for a weekend afternoon of brunch and walking around the city.

Even though I wish I had been at the beach this weekend, I had a great weekend in the city. Sunday was particularly delightful because I stopped by The Doughnut Plant and picked up a few doughnuts! Not sure why I was craving these things, but I'm glad I succumbed to my urges. Also, watching the US women's soccer team beat Brazil in the World Cup was awesome! I'm not normally a women's soccer watcher, but I happened to watch the whole match and was enthralled at the very end! Very exciting stuff.

Quick Snap: A Tale of Two Dresses

What I'm wearing:
*anthropologie Floating Feathers Dress
*anthropologie Looping Lanes Belt (similar here)
*TOMS Canvas Wedge in Coral

What I'm wearing:
*anthropologie June, July, August Dress
*DV by Dolce Vita Pali Wedge in Dark Brown

I obviously do the same pose everytime I take a photo in the mirror! It has been sweltering in the city this week, and the only thing I could bring myself to wear was a knit dress. It's a bit tricky to wear something that will keep you cool yet still be work appropriate. The prints also help to hide the fact that I am always soaked in sweat by the time I walk into the office. Thankfully this week was a short week and it's finally Friday! =) Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Quick Snap: Feels Like Monday

What I'm wearing:
*Forever 21 Umbrella Print Top
*J.Crew (outlet) Pocket Knit Skirt (similar here)
*anthropologie Looping Lanes Belt (similar in black here)
*Aerosoles Lace-up Wedges
*Forever 21 Beaded Wire Necklace in Coral

Two things went through my head this morning as I got dressed: (1) First day back at work after five days off, this sucks! (2) What can I wear that would let me be as comfortable as possible but still be work appropriate? This outfit definitely fits the bill. And after looking at these photos, I realized how dark I got! These tan shoes are pretty much the same color as my legs... wow.

Just a question for people that read my blog regularly: is it annoying that I post these quick snaps that I take in place of my higher quality outdoor photos? I know they aren't the best quality, but sometimes I really love my outfit and don't have time in the morning to go outside and take a photo. And it's always dark when I get back home. Would love feedback!

Baby You're a Firework

What I'm wearing:
*LOFT Corsage Flower Tank
*H&M Polka Dot Shorts (similar here)
*Miu Miu Naplack Patch Pumps in Nudo
*YSL Large Muse Bag in Black

I always think that black&white and blush always looks great together. They are not the vibrant shades I've been wearing lately, but I feel like it's very feminine and I like that.

Do you know what's better than having a 4-day weekend? Finding out that you have a 5-day weekend! I was informed on Thursday that I was going to be able to have today off as well. So the long weekend was even longer and sweeter. See some photos from my weekend after the jump!
