Stripes and Converse Sneakers. Two of my favorite things!!

Jeans ATL outlet

I love how cute this headband is. However I got a wicked headache because of it midway through the day. Oh well--the sacrifices we make for cuteness!

For my Southern readers, you have surely heard of Dillard's. Well we have a Dillard's clearance center, 10 minutes from my work. Can we say DANGEROUS?? This location is the size of a regular Dillard's department store. However EVERYTHING is 70%+ off! The items come from different regional stores. You never know what you are going to find. When I went today, I saw the following:

* Maggy London dresses *
* Lilly Pulitzer dresses, capris, pants and skirts *
* Suzy Chin dresses *
* Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Anne Klein and more! *

I ended up buying an adorable sweater dress that retailed for $69. It was mine for the low low cost of $15!! I purchased it for our vacation to Boston in November!

Tuesday 7.13

I felt like I was on an episode of "Minute to Win It" when I was getting ready this morning. I totally slept in and barely had time to get myself together before flying out the door. Luckily, this dress is very easy to throw on and look like I put a bit of effort in it! I have to admit, J is more put together than me today!

Today was especially excited as we booked tickets for our trip to Boston! I'm so excited! Looking forward to seeing how Andie's trip went--I could sure use the tips!

Splurge vs. Steal

I adore Rachel Leigh jewelry! I was gifted this lovely bracelet in Kelly Green by one of my closest friends. I plan to save up and purchase another bracelet, as I love the dainty yet vibrant nature of her pieces. However, while on a Forever XXI accessory run, I spotted the following:



Forever XXI: $4.80 (!!!!!)

Doesn't it look similar to this one?



Rachel Leigh: $72, As seen here

I still plan to buy a Rachel Leigh bracelet soon, but this will definitely be a nice piece to hold me over!

Sunday 7.11

We had brunch with good friends today. Brunch was the perfect opportunity to debut my new skirt, purchased yesterday! This skirt was a total accident. I parked at Belk's to cut through on my way to Ann Taylor Loft. As I was walking through, I saw a big Lilly Pulitzer sign. I was AMAZED to see at least 15 racks of Lilly--dresses, skirts, tops etc etc. Even better, half these racks had either a 60% off or 40% off sign!!! Aside from my Ruelala Lilly purse purchase and my polo shirt from TJ Maxx, Lilly is just out of my price range. However, on sale? It is much more attainable! The skirt is regularly priced at $118.00, as seen here. It was 60% off at Belk, so after tax, it was just at $50. Score! Good thing as the ATL sale was a disappointment. I also stopped by GAP, which has been disappointing me for several years now.



Cardi: ATL
Shirt: Mossimo Black, Target

J was looking especially cute today! I love when he wears Navy Blue. That combines with the seersucker shorts, Sperrys and 5 oclock shadow? Swoon!



Polo: J Crew
Shorts: Izod, Belk
Shoes: Sperry Top Siders

Off to enjoy the rest of my Sunday!!
