Asos Salon Yellow Lace Dress

Who knew that walking down the street looking like a big ol’ yellow present would get you noticed..?

But seriously guys, I think this dress wins the world-record for number of compliments received. As soon as I saw it online, I knew I had to have it. It definitely makes a bold statement, so I paired it with minimal accessories – just a pair of bejeweled sandals and a little clutch was all that was needed.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, then it’s absolutely no secret that I LOVE dresses, especially feminine statement-making pieces like this. My motto is that if you see a great dress… BUY IT! Even if you don’t have anywhere special to where it to right away. Over the years, I’ve found that the worst time to shop for an outfit is when a special occasion or important date is looming. There’s just too much pressure, and I can never seem to find exactly what I want. So I wind up just settling. But if you take my advice, and just get the perfect dress whenever you happen to run across it, it’ll always be there waiting for you when the occasion arises (and you’ll lower your chances of showing up to the party in the same outfit as someone else… oops!).

Anyhoo… when I recently stumbled across the Asos Salon Collection, I was like a kid in a virtual candy store. They have a swoon-worthy collection of party dresses in bold colors and fun embellishments. And the best part is that most of them are on sale for under $100 right now. Word on the street is that a certain blogger may have splurged on 3 (or 4) frocks to save for a rainy day!

Asos Gingham Tie-Front Dress

Crushing hard on this flirty look I recently wore on vacation. This tie-front dress is a new style for me, and I’m kinda loving it. I wasn’t so sure how this was going to work out when I first saw it online, (because… boobs, lol), but my bikini bandeau top (one I scooped up last year at Old Navy) wound up saving the day.

I always enjoy taking a few fashion risks while I’m on vacation, especially when I’m in a relaxed, no-stress environment. And I’m so glad that this one worked out.

Old Navy Cold-Shoulder Dress

I’m definitely well-versed in the virtues of investment shopping and blah, blah, blah, but when it comes to rounding out my summer travel wardrobe – there’s nothing like a binge retail therapy session at Old Navy. I popped in once or twice a few weeks ago and walked away with a boatload of dresses for under $150. I became particularly enamored with this cold-shoulder dress (I also have it in chambray), and have been wearing it every few days nonstop.

The temps were soaring down in Destin, Florida, so I keep my accessories nice and easy with these adorable, yet super-comfy slides from Zara. And let’s not forget every bloggers current favorite summer bag. I tried to hold out as long as I could after seeing it crop up all over my Instagram feed last year, but I just couldn’t stop daydreaming about it and finally decided to give in. So far I have no regrets and have gotten so many compliments on it during my travels. SCORE!
