Brights and Spikes
5/01/2014
WOW, how is it May already?!? I feel like this year is flying by! Well Happy May Day everyone!
Is it just me or has Forever 21 been killing it with their stuff lately? If you read my blog regularly you already know I was obsessed with these Jeffrey Campbell Puffer sandals and just had to have them. So I gave in and bought them only to get an e-mail that they were out of stock in my size shortly after placing the order. Not to be deterred I went on the hunt to find these some place else and low and behold, Forever 21 had pretty much an exact replica pair for $100 less! Yup, you read that correctly; $100 CHEAPER than the Jeffrey Campbell ones and they look almost exactly the same! They're actually decently comfortable too! So of course I couldn't just buy one thing if I was placing an order (that would be ludicrous!) so off I went on a hunt for a few other things to make an online order worth it, hence this dress! I think it looks better on the model than it does on me but I still think it's cute. I'm attempting to add more color and patterns to my closet so I figured this was a great place to start (oh yeah, and it's only $16 so it can't hurt, right?). I love the drop waist and the shirt hemline silhouette and the pattern is so fun! Crazy enough, while taking these pictures a crazy storm (the one I ranted about yesterday) rolled in so it went from being a nice sunny day to cloudy and gross out from the first picture to the last! Just a little fun fact for you ;)

Absolutely love this dress. The sandals are such a bargain and I think much better option that JC pair. x
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun dress- great job on the shoes too!! What a deal!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is adorable but I think it would be a tad too short on me!
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteLove this dress- the print is so fun and the slouchy drop waist is super flattering. I'm always reaching for a denim jacket as a spring + summer outfit topper, as well. :)

ReplyDeleteUmmmm those sandals are perfect! Naturally they do not have a size 9.....I could possibly cram my hoof into an 8.5 if they run on the bigger side. I love that dress. It may be a tad short for me....how is the in between the legs see through factor on it because I really love it :-)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the colors and what a steal on the shoes!
