I've worn this dress twice since buying it two weeks ago. Once was to the "ball" at LeakyCon a couple weeks ago, and second to my cousin's engagement party this past weekend. Such a beautiful dress, and I scored it for under $200! Still a splurge, but it's Burberry. I definitely see this as a versatile dress. I can wear it with tights
and a jacket come Winter and Fall. And in Summer I can wear it like this
and with sandals to dress down a bit.
I felt like such a label snob in this outfit, but nothing I bought was full price (except perhaps the Chanel, I saved up a few years for that and still bought it second hand - but it's still expensive) That's what I love about consignment stores. I can find amazing pieces at even better prices, sometimes brand new with tags - like this dress! It's amazing to me that someone paid (probably) full price, never wore it and then consigned it and I magically found it! Such a thrill, right?

We've been having a lot of perfect (in my opinion) Summer days lately. The one's where it's warm enough to not need a sweater, but you can still wear one without sweating to death. I was getting bored of just wearing my dresses with nothing over them. And lucky for me, this sweater was a perfect match for the dress without being too heavy!

This was one of those days where I wanted to be comfortable with minimal effort. Enter: this cute cashmere sweater I bought at Roundabout for under $40. I don't normally buy/wear pink but it is so comfortable! On this day I also went sans-makeup since I was just going out to lunch with a friend. A Cheescake Factory just opened last week and neither of us had been, so we figured we would make a fun mid-day excursion out of it! I had a mini pizza and we shared a DELICIOUS Godiva Chocolate Brownie Sundae....yum!

When I get back home from a vacation I don't want to think about what I wear. So on this day I dressed in pajama-like clothes to keep super comfortable! I even did one of those half-tucks that everyone hates because my tee looked weird untucked and fully tucked, ha ha.

These products were provided to me by Neutrogena. Thoughts and opinions are my own.
I was sent the following: Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Serum ($20.99), Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($20.99), Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Night Moisturizer ($20.99), and Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Eye Cream ($20.99)
After these past two weeks I can say I have definitely noticed improvement in my skin. It is a lot smoother and brighter. I'm not saying my face is covered in wrinkles, but this is also a preventative thing. All the magazines tell us to start using anti-aging products in our 20s to help counteract what will happen as we get closer to our 30s. I used the products while I was on a trip, so being on planes and also being overtired may have affected the results a bit, but I'm still very happy with the products. I imagine if I wasn't on vacation my dark circles would be a lot lighter, but a lack of sleep counteracted the results to a degree.
Before using this I had been trying out Chanel's Resynchronizing Skincare line and my previous favorite was L'oreal Paris Youth Code (which I have been using for a few years.) I will definitely continue to use my Neutrogena products until they run out, but I have not decided which of the three product lines I will use when that time comes.
