This may be the first time this dress is on the blog this Summer but it's been one of my most worn pieces the past couple months. Whenever it's too hot and I have no idea what to wear I throw this on. It's just so easy to wear; add sandals and I'm done!
On this day I decided to wear a bunch of my rings again because my fingers have been feeling naked without them. One good thing about being engaged in the Summer and wanting to just wear that one ring is that it's usually too hot to wear them all because my fingers swell up. But come Fall and Winter I'll be wearing more of them on the regular again because I'm a ring freak.

I mixed this throwback up a bit to make it more practical for every day wear. When I originally wore this it was to work so I added the heels to dress it up a bit. Since this was worn to hang out at home I wore some slip on sneakers to grunge it down. I also wore the shorts a little higher up on my waist so they wouldn't be so long. And, funnily enough, my hair is wet in both the throwback and these photos. Sometimes you just have to take pictures when your hair is still wet.

I bought two things this month, but sadly you won't be seeing them until after my wedding. Yep. I found my wedding dress (and shoes!) It's not a traditional dress because I'm not doing the traditional wedding thing, but it's super pretty! I got it during Net-a-Porter's sale with an extra 20% off (same with the shoes) and used advertising money on it. BOOM.
But, instead of a blank post this week I decided to show off the closet in my house since you all haven't seen it yet! We've been in our house a little over 2 months and pretty much have it all furnished - except our finished basement. I'll slowly be sharing little pieces on the blog (like my collection wall in the living room.)

It's closet time!! I painted the walls purple after we moved in because it's my favorite color and I wanted the room to be extra fun. Eventually I want to get a whole custom IKEA closet system in here, but for now I'm sticking with pieces I already had from previous closets. You can see my closet when I rented a house with my friend; she let me use the third small room in the house as a closet. When I lived with 2 of my cousins my closet was actually my bedroom/closet because I took the smallest room in the house.

| Sweaters galore! (Should be interesting when I get my bulky winter ones out of storage) |
 |
| A closet within my closet. This used to be steps up to the attic but now it's a perfect tiered shelving unit for extra shoes and my shoe boxes (I only keep the expensive boxes.) The attic is now accessible through the ceiling |

Worn for our daily walk in the park one day last week. It's been so hot lately that I've not wanted to wear anything. Unfortunately that's frowned upon in public so I chose an airy skirt and tank top combo. Sadly my phone has outgrown this purse so if I have no pockets in my outfit I'm stuck holding it the whole time. But it's so cute that it's worth it! It was also the first thing I ever bought at Net-a-Porter. I had won a gift card in 2010 through their old affiliate network and used that to buy it.
