Polka dots for the win

Oh, Forever 21. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Some of your clothing may be positively WTF-inducing, but others are just...perfection. Like this little polka dotted number, for example. Perfect length, adorable shape, and the print is spot on (get it, spot on?!).  I wore this to work one day, then for an interview and a lunch date the next. The perfect multitasker! Best part? It was yellowtag item - scored it for $14.

You asked...

I answered!

If you had to choose between Forever 21 and Torrid, which would you choose and why?

I'd definitely choose Forever21! I love that because of their great prices, I can try out trends without breaking the bank. They're always coming out with pretty dresses I can't resist, and it's a great place for funky accessories :) 

What do you think the fall trends will be? I'm pretty much done with my summer shopping and I was trying to find some fall pieces early.

I think a lot of the things we're seeing this summer are going to translate very well into fall. Stripes for one, I can see still being a big trend. I myself have bought a few pieces including a blazer, and I plan to rock them into winter!

Neutrals are another trend I think will continue into the cold weather. Taupes, soft pinks, tans, greys, especially in sheer, flowy, feminine fabrics. 

Fall for me is all about rich colors and fabrics. Switch it up with some colored bottoms in a deep jewel tone!

Have a question for me? Shoot me an email, or ask on Formspring!

It's the final countdown!

My laundry situation has been a bit dire as of late and I've been doing a lot of outfit repeats, which is why it's been a bit quiet as far as OOTD's go. Mom's in Greece at the moment so it's just been me and the old man at home. Any laundry I've gotten a chance to do has been dad's work clothes, so I happily said yes when he sent me to buy a few toddler outfits as a gift for a family member's kid. Old Navy was the perfect spot - good prices, plus I could browse for myself as well as the little one (can you blame me?).

Shopping for little kid's clothes is almost as much fun as shopping for myself! I had a blast picking out tiny little khakis and doll sized checkered button downs. That kid's gonna be best dressed on the block! This floral number caught my eye as I shopped and it couldn't have been a better match with these pink flower sandals.

Time has flown by and I find myself with just a week to go until vacation. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself!!! Are you going/have you gone anywhere on vacation this summer?

Rushing to take pictures in crappy weather sure does no favors for the quality of my photos! But it's been a few days since I've gotten a chance to take some pics and I wanted to get these up for you all :)

You've seen this top from ASOS Curve before, and it's styled pretty similarly as well; I just changed up the jewelry and the shoes. I really want to pair the wrap top with a skirt but I have yet to find one that works. 'Til then, looks like this baby will continue to get the denim treatment!
