Dressed for Romance

Yellow Lace Sundress, Straw Clutch{H&M Lace Midi Dress (similar here and here) and Fringe Earrings, VINTAGE Straw Clutch (similar), FENDI Sunglasses, LANVIN Sandals}

 

After working from all day while dressed in leggings and a sports bra, my husband Face-Timed me to see if I wanted to meet up for an impromptu dinner date. Fifteen minutes later, I was primped, coiffed and dressed in this romantic lace frock that I scooped up last year at H&M. I’m excited to see that they’ve kept a good thing going this season with even more beautiful dresses to choose from that won’t break the bank.

I kept the look clean and simple with nude sandals and this gorgeous vintage straw clutch from the 1950s that I picked up at a random consignment shop in Tarrytown. It seems like straw handbags of all shapes and sizes have been popping up all over my Instagram feed lately, and I’ve been happy to pull my modest collection out of storage for the season.

The Anthropologie Sales Rack is SO GOOD Right Now!

{ANTHROPOLOGIE Dress, J. CREW Hat & Earrings, PRADA Sunglasses, FOREVER 21 Clutch (similar here and here), BASS Sneakers (similar here and here)}

If it were up to me, my entire summer wardrobe would be sourced exclusively through Anthropologie. Their sales rack is full of irresistible goodies right now, like this amazing shirtdress that I’m completely smitten with at the moment. Crisp cotton dresses like this are just perfect for the weather we’ve been having in NYC this spring.

Since we were spending some times outdoors, I decided to go playful with my ensemble by rolling up my sleeves and pairing my frock with sneakers, a wide bring hat and oversized shades. But this dress could easily be dressed up with heels and maybe a cropped blazer for the office.

Some days, I just wanna channel my inner 5 year-old and rock head-to-toe pink. And while I was at it, I figured I might as well throw in a few bows for good measure!

I know people always say to invest in higher-quality pieces because they’ll last longer, and blah, blah, blah… But I’ve had this gorgeous clutch for more than 7 years, and it’s still going on strong. I’m pretty sure I got it at Forever 21 for less than $20, but I’ve taken it to the opera, fancy dinner parties, gallery openings, you name it – and it’s held up super well over time and garnered me many compliments.

Why I never really thought to pair blush pink with fuchsia is before is beyond me. But when I ran across these AMAZING earrings, it was like a light bulb finally went off.  I’m so glad it did, and now this might become one of my favorite color combos. Don’t you just love it when things like that happen?!

Lastly, I’ve had these gorgeous satin Miu Miu pumps for over four years, and I love them just as much as when I first got them. They truly bring a smile to my face, and I look forward to bringing them out of hiding each spring. And I know, I know… I just extolled the virtues of shopping on the cheap less than two paragraphs earlier, but some shoes things you just can’t put a price on… ya dig?!
