I wore this a couple weekends ago to visit Mystic Aquarium with a friend. Excuse the not so great photos, took these with my iPhone, ha ha. We had a lovely day watching penguins (and fun fish), doing some window shopping at the Mystic shops and ended at our favorite restaurant for dinner where we proceeded to stuff our faces with fish & chips, shrimp, honey butter bread and onion rings! YUM!

And some photos of the day:

Happy Thursday!! I'm currently on my second day of a quick trip to Orlando with a friend so this is definitely not what I'll be wearing today.  And I confess I do have the original heels from this look but I decided I liked it better with the dark brown Prada's instead. I'm also sporting my latest pair of sunglasses from Ditto's Endless Eyewear program! I sent my Miu Miu pair back after just a week but I'm keeping these a little longer before I trade them in.  Use code CLOSETFASHIONENDLESSDITTO for your first month free!

I'm a little (fashionably) late to this trend, but when Soma Footwear asked if I wanted to style a pair of their leather shoes I decided on these pom-pom sandals which have been everywhere this Summer! Better late than never, right? I considered a pair of their ADORABLE printed or beaded ballet flats but in the end I decided to keep Summer fun going a bit longer with the sandals. Each piece, like art, is exclusive and hand embroidered/hand sewed so you know what you're getting is special.

Soma has reinvented the traditional shoe to embody a mix of East and West fashion style identities, with special attention given to comfort and quality. They source high quality leather and have superior stitching by craftsmen who have been in this field for generations. Soma has pioneered the art of incorporating traditionally worn footwear into mainstream contemporary fashions with their vibrant colors, elegant curves, impeccable finish, and commitment to quality.

When these arrived one of the tassels on the ties had fallen off, luckily I was able to just snap it back on. I've found that they're prone to popping off, so you may want to reinforce with a dab of glue.  I might sew mine on to really prevent them from slipping. I'm also horrible at tying things, so forgive the poorly done knots, haha! I'll get better eventually!

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!

Another Thursday, another throwback outfit. I do technically still have the original sandals from this look. But they currently have a different color fabric/tie and I was too lazy to switch back to brown, haha! So I switched it up with one of my favorite Ancient Greek Sandals.

P.S. Happy September!!
