Flower Power

Summer is officially here!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you're a dress lover like myself this means it's the best time of the year. That is because we can throw on a dress and run out the door. See how simple that is, just one piece of clothing and you're dressed for the day. Plus dresses are very versatile and can be worn to several different events and places and they're almost always acceptable attire. 

I picked this dress up at a Goodwill in the Grand Rapids area. It is Mossimo and it cost only $5.99. I can wear it for fun or I can dress it up and wear it to the office. 

I don't always wear brown accessories with the dress because it has so much color. Sometimes I spice it up with some pink or other times with white, it really just depends on my mood :) 

Here I'm wearing it with some strappy brown sandals from a Ross Dress for Less in Naples, FL. They are Joey O and cost only $15. If you look you will see this is the same shoe and purse combo in my blog 50 Shades of Brown from earlier this year. 

The polish on my toe nails is Material Girl by Ulta. 

This Black Poppy, small over the shoulder purse was purchased at PacSun for $8.  I apologize but I can't remember where I got the blue bracelet because I've had it so long but the rhinestone bracelet is American Eagle which I purchased at Plato's Closet for $2. 

I also wanted to show how to dress more casual.  A perfect look for a fun summer day that may include lots of walking or standing. So here I paired the dress with some gladiator sandals. 

The sandals are Candies which I picked up at a Garage Sale for $2 and the sandals have made a previous appearance in Reminiscing.
