{Forever 21 Dress, Lovely People Sandals, Elliott Lucca Handbag via Loehmann’s, Marc Jacobs Sunglasses via Nordstrom’s Rack}
This outfit was perfect for an afternoon spent pounding the pavement on the Lower East Side, ducking in and out of shops, and grabbing a quick bite to eat at Georgia’s East Side BBQ (definitely a worthwhile, gut-busting treat). Simple. Colorful. Fun. Relaxed.

Not sure what’s up with my Internet tonight, but putting this outfit post together is taking waaaaaaayyyyyy too long. With that being said, I’m just going to keep things short and sweet, then off to bed I go…
In addition to being chock full of pretty florals, this entire outfit cost me around $50 (minus the handbag). I always love it when an outfit is both easy on the eyes and easy on the pocket book!

I spotted this dress at Beacon’s Closet a few months ago and immediately fell in love. I could tell by its interior construction that it was made by hand, immediately giving it extra cool points in my book. I debuted my first sewing project on the blog a few days ago, and this dress gives me major inspiration and excitement for the things I’ll (hopefully) someday be able to create on my own. Now as keen as I am on my new frock, the real pièce de résistance of this outfit is the shoes.
As soon as I slipped them on, I thought I’d died and gone to shoe heaven. I already have a severe weakness for shoes of the maryjane variety, but the dainty little peep-toe is what ultimately got me. I can’t wait to pair them with all manner of hosiery this fall.
