July is already halfway over...what is this madness?! Right about now I am in vacation countdown mode, only one week to go and I'll be spending a blissful week in a beach house right across the street from the beach in Rhode Island!
I wore my new Marc Jacobs dress on Monday and I love it! It is super comfortable and I love the fun detail at the bottom. The only problem is it wrinkles SUPER easy (and I don't own an iron...) I'll just have to drive the long 5 minutes to my parents house when it needs to be ironed. I also wore a pencil skirt to work for the first time ever...what?! But this skirt that I got for $10 at Coco's needs to be shown off, so I wore it with the sweater my grandmother made for my mom (who then passed it on to me) to dress it down.

Extra shots that I never got to post because I always like too many photos! All of these are by Lydia, obviously, ha ha.
Ever since I got my new Ancient Greek Sandals I've been dreaming up ways to wear them. This week I wore them Grecician style with my new Marc by Marc Jacobs dress (you'll see on Friday!) I decided to style them the same way for this post, with different pieces obviously.
The necklace I chose is definitely a splurge but it was too spot on to not include! The pendants are Greek warriors, the perfect match for the sandals. I also gave two dress options, I think the one on the left is more casual and goes with the sandals better. But, if you feel like dressing them up, option number 2 is great.
Sandals: Ancient Greek Sandals ($230)
Necklace: DANNIJO ($305)
Arm Cuff: Citrine by the Stones ($188)
Leaf Bracelet: dreamsbythesea ($50 at Etsy)
Left Dress: Norma Kamali ($240 at The Outnet)
Right Dress: Alexander Wang ($277 at The Outnet)

The rain has finally subsided: HUZZAH! Except now I bet I jinxed it, oh well... Anyway today I thought I would look back at some pieces I've worn in a myriad of ways. This is the third installment of this feature: Part 1 & Part 2
Ralph Lauren Striped Sweater - I wear this sweater quite often, but it is not something that gets photographed a lot. Not sure why because it's one of my favorite things. It's usually a weekend piece and what I throw on when I have no idea what to wear. I bought it at good will for $8 and it's too big so it has a nice slouchy feel.
Purple Printed Skirt - My mom made this skirt for me 2 years ago with fabric we bought at Mood after my photoshoot with The Outnet. I wear it a lot but it is one of those pieces that I always wear with the same things because they go so perfectly together.
McQ Alexander McQueen Dress - Another oldie, but goodie. My mom bought me this from Century 21 for my birthday 2 years ago. It is from the last collection McQueen did so it has a special place in my wardrobe. I've only shown Summery stylings here, but I wear it through the Winter too.

Super quick post today, I hope you all enjoyed your (hopefully long) weekends. It was a scorcher wasn't it? Here's what I wore on the 4th of July! I started with a white tee, but when I got to my parents house I remembered I had a red shirt there, so I switched! Much better, right? I also wore my new Ancient Greek Sandals! WOO!
