Sequins and Sea Breezes: Boho Romantic

Boho Romantic

9/15/2015


Boho fall outfit

Happy Tuesday loves! I definitely like starting the work week better on Tuesday than Monday. Oh well, I guess beggars can't be choosers, right? Today I am offsite at a meeting from 8 am to 4 pm so if you don't hear from me, that's why but I'll respond as soon as I can. I love my job but they are definitely keeping me busy! I'm not complaining though, I'm having a blast doing it!

I almost never venture into Forever 21 any more, mainly because the store overwhelms me and I always feel like I can't find what I'm looking for, so when I passed by it last week and saw this dress right up front I was torn with whether I should go in or not. Finally I gave in and grabbed it and immediately headed straight to the dressing rooms to try it on. Even though the dress was incredibly wrinkled the second I tried it on I loved it so it came home with me. After what felt like an hour of steaming it, it was finally ready to be worn! I'm not really big into the boho trend, I feel like it doesn't look as good on me as other people, but this dress had such a romantic feel to it that I felt I could pull this one off. The off the shoulder top makes it the perfect summer to fall transition piece and I love the wine color. My only complaint about the dress is how wrinkly it gets. Even after I spent forever steaming it, it managed to get wrinkled in the car ride to dinner which is my only complaint about the dress. Any pointers on keeping clothes from getting super wrinkled?

    I swear that is half the battle when finding places to shoot, I can't tell you how many times I've gotten out of the car and the seat belt has left the worst wrinkle! Bloggers problems. I love that color on you!

    Love that color on you!! You find the best stuff at Forever 21. It's hard for me to shop in there, because my kids don't allow me much time to look around lol. Then its hard to tell the quality from the website. xo

    Oooooh GORGEOUS! I love it! And I totally know what you mean- Forever 21 intimidates the crap outta me! I only shop there with friends...and we are always lost in there for a good hour or two digging and searching :)

    Love that dress! I'm the same say with F21, it's been overwhelming me lately. I need to go places where there are only a few options - I get so distracted!

    Burgundy is my fall color obsession. Seriously, everything I see I'm like, "I want the burgundy one." I need to stop! Forever 21 totally overwhelms me too, so I avoid it. But I would totally go in if I found something so cute right up front!

    That dress looks fabulous on you! I love that color, one of my favorite go to colors for fall/winter. The dress doesn't look wrinkled in your pictures? I have a few pieces that always drive me crazy though so I understand. Love the accessories you paired with this look!

    Love the bare shoulders on this dress! And I just cannot do forever 21 - it is SO overwhelming. Or at least I need to bring along a friend who is good at that kind of shopping!

    You look fabulous!! And I feel the same way about F21... definitely overwhelming. I like their contemporary section but all of those run so big. Ugh! You are rocking that dress though... love the color! xo
