All the colors of the rainbow

Aaaand another work week begins. I know you are all just as thrilled as I am about it...not! Is there anything more torturous than trudging into the office on Monday morning after a great weekend? Boyfriend finally got back from Cincinnati on Saturday, so I was excited to pick him up at the airport and spend the day together. We went out to dinner with his family for his brother's birthday; he's a leap year baby so he doesn't even have a true birthday this year. That stinks! Then on Sunday we went out with a big group for a friend's birthday. I've been dying to wear this dress after I finally found it in my size after 3 trips to my local Forever21, so it was the perfect occasion for these crazy bright colors!

What do you even call this print? Graffiti? Chipped paint? I don't know what to call it, but I know that I love it!

I saw this dress at F21 weeks ago but they only had it in a size 3x. I contemplated buying it anyway and DIYing that bad boy, but I ultimately decided my money was better spent elsewhere. Fast forward to last week, I was in F21 again and I just so happened to stumble across it in a 1x! I wasn't sure it would fit, but once I put it on I was sold.

Since the dress includes pretty much every color under the sun, I could have paired it with a million different cardigans. I was more concerned with proportions here than with the color, which is why this black cardi with flower appliques won out over some of my brighter options. This cardi is only a straight size L, so it's shorter and more fitted than some over my others, and I think the shape works better with dresses than some longer ones do.

How awesome is this bracelet?! I got this sweet Marc by Marc Jacobs chunky chain bracelet with the gift card I won from The Curvy Fashionista's ShopBop Giveaway! Thanks so much Marie and ShopBop! This piece so me and the perfect edition to my jewelry collection. I see lots of gold mixing in my future!

With the exception of the bracelet, all my jewelry today is vintage. Both pendants (one of which is hiding in my cleavage, woops!) and the ring belonged to either my grandmother or great grandmother. I love the look of the layered gold chains and pendants. I topped it all off with my  beloved F21 cone heels and braided belt - F21 sure is getting a lot of play today!
