Another outfit with my Miu Miu sunglasses from Ditto, I wanted to wear them as much as possible before trading them in for a new pair. Remember: Use code CLOSETFASHIONENDLESSDITTO to get your first month of Endless Eyewear FREE!

I don't have much else to say about the outfit besides the fact that this outfit is way of the top and I love it.  I still don't wear this romper as much as I should because it's a little big and plunges a lot more in the front than I'm used to. (You can't really tell from the photos) You're also supposed to see more of my back, but since it's so big, the fabric fold down and hides the keyhole detailing! GRRR.

Here's a look at a few of the sunnies in My Favorites section. The Jason Wu's are on their way!

This romper was one of my April buys. It's a tiny bit too big, but that's what you get for shopping sample sale sites...I couldn't exchange for a smaller size - because it sold out - so it was either return it or keep it. Since it was only $27 I opted to keep it. I love the little bit of skin it shows in the back, it also adds a nice breeze when it's super hot out.

I've been meaning to get these sandals fixed but I have no idea if a cobbler would be able to do what I need. Or where there is a cobbler near me.  My friend borrowed them when we were on vacation and it rained so the leather stretched out a LOT. I need to get the back straps shortened so I can buckle them again. When I wore them this day I kind of faked it since I knew I wouldn't be walking a lot. #shoehacks.

Well, I did it. I misbehaved this month and spent way over my monthly budget (I lowered it to $100 this year) to buy a pair of Ancient Greek Sandals I've wanted ever since they were posted on their Instagram.  I was able to get them for 15% off thanks to signing up for Moda Operandi's newsletter, but they were still pricey.  But as it is my favorite brand I think it's okay to splurge once a year on a new pair, right? I'm up to 6 pairs now.

I was also bad and ordered a really cute romper from Gilt. In my defense, it had been in my cart for weeks and I only ordered it after getting a 30% off coupon! So that's kind of good...right?

Last night I went to a Spring shopping event at Clinton Crossing and picked up a couple pieces because I can't resist a good deal! Luckily my mom bought one of them for me because she's awesome! So technically I only bought one thing.
