Consignment Find

I’m featuring another consignment find today! I’d say $27 isn’t bad for a $300 dress! The keys to consignment shopping are visiting the stores fairly often and not going shopping with a certain goal in mind. Maybe a budget, but I try not to go into a consignment store looking for a specific item! Most likely you won’t find it! You never know what you’ll find, so you have to go in with an open mind!

Back in the spring I found a beautiful Self Portrait dress that I knew would be perfect for a wedding. I didn’t have one on the calendar yet, but it sure did come in handy for a wedding I had a couple of weeks ago. If you love something and it’s a great price, I’d purchase it because it most likely won’t be there the next time you’re shopping. Of course, my advice can get you in trouble too, so keep your budget in mind!!

Happy hump day and first day of August! As summer winds down and temperatures continue to scorch, you can find your favorite warm weather pieces on sale and still have time to wear them. Just like the top I’m wearing… Florals aren’t usually my go-to, but I love the small print on this Rebecca Taylor blouse. Head over to their website ASAP because they are offering an extra 40% off their sale!!

I’ve been traveling more than usual, so that explains why my blog posts haven’t been as consistent. But now that I’m back, I wanted to share some fun pieces for spring.

First of all, florals and ruffles are HOT. Both of these trends are a must this spring and summer, so I’ve linked a few more of my favorites below. I’m also in-love with these white resin earrings! They pop against any hair color and match every outfit. Don’t forget to check out the embroidered straw clutch above. You can always count on Hazen and Co to spice up your accessory game.

florals and ruffles: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Ahead: THE REAL WORLD

Sadly, it is time to think about life after college. What career I want to pursue and what city I want to be in. It is fast approaching which means interviews and internships are in order. I wore this outfit last week to an interview – TBD what happens next!

Also, check out this Q&A that I had with a friend and member of the SMU Style team!
