Stripe Off the Shoulder Dress

black and white off the shoulder dress // similar belt // embroidered clutch  (love this!)

Basically, I cannot say no to off the shoulder anything. The second I saw this stripe dress I just had to make it mine. I mean it's stripes and I love stripes! It's off the shoulder and that's my weakness this summer. So I'm just going to keep milking all these summer days with as many bare shoulder looks I can. #notsorry

Flashback Fashion Friday's Linkup #6

Le Motto tshirt c/o // utility vest // AE boyfriend shorts // floral flats (leopard or stripe under $30) // reversible tote

Happy Friday! This week has been a looong one for some reason. And since I've been a little behind on outfit photos I thought I would save the best (aka my only outfit photos) for the best day of the week. Last weekend we went to Santa Barbara (yes this is what I wore), which is about 2 hours north of LA and my favorite place to escape for the day. Honestly, if you ever are planning a trip to LA, make some room for Santa Barbara because it's so charming with all it's Spanish style architecture and hello the beach. We had to pick up the boyfriend's nephew and we made sure to have some time to hit all our favorite spots. Basically I was eating or drinking the entire time. I'm perfectly okay with that! We tried really hard to find a spot with that charming architecture, but it was too sunny. There is an industrial part that is the wine ghetto and lucky enough was able to find a good spot in between lunch and wine sipping. 

Anyway, I am rambling, but you get it Santa Barbara is amazing and you should go someday. Okay, now this graphic tee. It's so cozy and who doesn't love a good positive message! Yeah, I'm a quote junkie. You can't tell, but it's the right cut with a little slouch and nice open neck. Honestly, I've worn this tshirt several times this week. If you are looking for a nice graphic tshirt and feel good message, I couldn't recommend this shirt or others from Le Motto. 

Now, it's time to flashback with Jessica and I for our linkup. It's really funny but every week I rediscover what's in my closet. Last year, I was wearing this embroidered dress and definitely plan on wearing it over the weekend.

My Summer Favorites Under $40

 blue floral romper (picked my normal size)

It's true I play favorites especially when it comes to my wardrobe. This summer though I keep reaching for these three beauties and the best part is that they are back in stock. Naturally, I just had to let you know. Did I mention they are under $40?

This embroidered top is just too pretty and right on trend with the cold shoulder detail.

This long pendant necklace was on my must have list the second I saw it at the product review at work. The stone is a soft pink and really well made. The pictures don't do it justice! Oh, and it goes with everrrything.
