Leopard

I totally forgot I bought this pink leopard tank dress from H&M a while back and finally found it while digging through my clothes.  Decided that it was too much leopard and threw on a white tee to turn it into a miniskirt. I put on my Isabel Marant Dixie boots (which I'm still very in love with) and called it a day.

What I'm wearing:
Necklace: Forever 21 here
Tee: Vince size xs similar here
Dress: H&M size xs similar here
Boots: Isabel Marant Dixie (sold out, but closest thing is Anthracite Dickers)
Bag: Balenciaga

Bridal Shower

Today I went to my friend (cousin's fiance) bridal shower.  I wore a floral dress from Topshop and modeled with Christian Louboutin Miss Tack Pump in Taupe.  Ended up wearing Jimmy Choo flats instead for comfort.  The little candy/dessert table was adorable!

Isabel Marant Dixie Boots

I know the Dicker boots are all the rage right now, but I opted for the Dixie because of the lower heel height.  I'm in love! These boots are so versatile and can work with shorts, skinnies, dresses, and skirts.  Ordered them from Matches Fashion and the service was superb. Though I would have loved a pair of the taupe color, I ended up with the brown since it's a little better at being stain resistant. I'm adding black Dickers to my wishlist though!

Sizing: I am usually a 6.5 in American sizing and the 37 fit perfect without socks.  If I wore athletic socks it would probably be too snug.  So for half sizes I recommend going up to the next full size.  Also, the Isabel Marant Dicker boots are back in stock at Matches for only $420 with free shipping.

What I'm wearing:
Boots: Isabel Marant Dixie (sold out) (Dickers available here)
Shorts: Frankie B. here
Cardigan: J Crew Girls size 14 here
Tank: Vince (old)
Necklace: Tom Binns

Mason by Michelle Mason Ruffle Tank Dress

I fell in love with this designer after browsing endlessly for a comfortable dress to wear to my cousin's wedding coming up in October.  This Mason by Michelle Mason ruffle tank dress in nude looked perfect because of its delicate and gorgeous ruffled bottom.  It popped up in size 2 the other day on Shopbop, so I figured why not give it a try.  I was really hoping for a size 0 but it seems like her dresses sell like hotcakes even at full price, but I was able to get it during its first markdown of 30% off paying about $286.

What I didn't like was that the neckline was too deep and kept showing my bra (cup area).  Also racer back tank style isn't my 100% fave either. The drop waist was way too big after tying it up.  It kept bunching up in a unflattering way like I had a spare tire around tummy area. Bleh! At this price if I don't love it.. it's going back.  Maybe a size 0 would have been better.. but I'll never know! So off it went back to Shopbop... so if you're looking for a size 2.. it will pop up in the next couple of weeks.

So my goal now is to find a gray or nude/beige dress! I'm unfortunately on a super strict budget now since B/F is starting a new job next week that pays significantly less.  Now I've got to work with what I have! 

I <3 ruffles

of course I'd wear a strapless bra if I kept it
