'Twas 80º...

... and 'lo, the sunshine has returned!

I felt like it'd be quite warm today, so I didn't want to layer up; thank goodness for shirt-dresses. 

Classy and easy.

I lightly accessorized, since I was going simple, and of course had to use metallics. This particular shirt dress is black, for SURE, but it turned out blue in some pictures... Wish I had the fancy scientific answer as to why here but I'm honestly just too tired from school to do any extra work.

Picked up this fantastic necklace at Salvation Army for $7. Reminds me very much of Harry Potter!

**The necklace turns out to be Anna Sheffield for Target ($29.99)!

China '12; Outfits

The many cities that we visited were all extremely humid, despite 'weather' the sun shone or not. 
... teehee.

This made getting dressed more of a chore in the mornings than what I believe fashion is supposed to be (which would be fun, of course).

Breezy dresses were a good choice, but not always convenient seeing as how my family goes to a museum and climbs a mountain in the same day... So I lived in shorts and however short a top I could manage! Here's just a few shots I could get, sorry I was so busy..

My trusty Diesel bag is a couple years old and always serves me extremely well on vacations. I had it all fixed up while in China, thank goodness.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about it... 

Just that I love it.

Have a be-you-tiful Sunday!

Sat-all-day

So the post title's not entirely true, I stood for a good two-hours while volunteering and hunted around the mall to find exactly what I wanted to gift my mum, but..

I've pretty much sat all day Saturday.

I'm CONVINCED that this 54¢ bracelet's handmade w/ copper, if you held it you would too! And I managed to catch a glimpse of the most beautiful, French-style silver-plated candelabra that a friend bought; 'twas a thrift score day!

Planning on running later so Olive Garden won't kill me.

But for now.. Snapple Peach Tea and mini pizza style crackers fo' snack; nomnom.

Just a little longer...

WHYYYY AP TESTING, WHYYYY NO STAND FOR ASIAN POWER?!

Hope you're all enjoying the gorgeous Met posts (those couples are just TOO good) and living life! ... I'll just, shut my jail-cell door again and continue slaving away...

Here are a few pictures I've managed to snap while procrastinating! How adorable is this necklace?! I'm switching to Accessories-Hoarder now, please excuse me.

AFTER I'M UH, DONE STUDYING, UH, OF COURSE..

'Twas 75ºF...

... and BLOODY SUNNY.

And yet, I'm not complaining! If anything, I'm enjoying it immensely! It feels perrrrfect.

So much sunshine makes for crazy bright photographs and the best excuse to wear sunglasses! With my low-bridge nose, these sunnies sit perfectly and the slight cat-eye's not too shabby either.

Just wish I had pockets so I could fill them with sunshine and belt out Natasha Bedingfield.

'Twas 71ºF...

... and we're under a severe weather watch! 

It's actually all very exciting, I'm one all for rain and thunder. But I do hope it's a no-damage sort of storm, seeing as how the weather totally listens to me... yea.

I LOVE 1D MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.

^TRUE^

Platform heels are the way I want ta go! Platforms, wedges, the whole chunky thing is really going to ground my spring/summer dresses.

And who doesn't like a quality crop jacket in emerald green?

'Twas 90ºF...

... AND I'M MELTINGGGGGGGGGGG.

Overdramatic? ... possibly.

But seriously, I'm dying over here! The current temperature reading really doesn't do the weather... 'justice', because that sweet ole' sun's really working today. 

This was a huge reminder that I really need to shorten the length of my current favorite, but long, skirt!

As always with Sundays, I give in to the temptation to dress my Sunday best fo' church. Just can't help it.

And once more; I'M MELLLTTIIINNGGGGGGGG.

One word; POCKETS.

Top: Old Navy//Skirt: Sunset Rd. via Dillard's//Heels: Kenneth Cole Reaction//Silver Chain Bracelet: gifted//Bangles: vintage//Necklace: gifted

These pearls have become a very classy staple for me. They're my first REAL pearl necklace and I can't be more excited about them! The clasp is a heart. A HEART.

Well colour me infatuated (err, pale pink?)!

'Twas 82ºF...

... and the sun was playing peek-a-boo with the clouds and me!

It was the perfect weather for a light knit top and breezy eazy shorts. It's just too bad I had to spend most of my day in school!

Usually I'm sporting flip-flops; my absolute go-to shoe because I can't stand wearing socks! Not to say I don't love them, which I do, but my feet just easily get congested... you know?

Anyway, I'm training myself to get over it (really thick, soft socks were the biggest part of my training regime).

BUT IT'S SUMMER SPRING! So give me high heels (but comfortable flip-flops for school)! And can I just say one word... scallops. 
They're delish, they're adorbs. 
Scalloped shorts make me want scalloped EVERYTHING.

I'm really digging this cooler weather, it gives me time to hold on to a few more fall/winter pieces I love. Here's to great dressing for us all~
