Hippie Hippie Shake

 

dress: rainbow (old) // necklace, bracelet: gifts // sandals: Payless // sunglasses: target

 

I always forget how comfortable and easy maxi dresses are! I tend to overthink ensembles from time to time, I love to layer, guilty as charged. However, today I was feeling super lazy (and HOT, we are not turning on a/c just yet.... Yikes!) and this tie dyed little number stood out from the rest. A statement dress, easy necklace, comfy shoes and bim bam dressed. Pretty sure i bought this dress for my first Black Crowes concert and i love the memories associated with it! I really need to invest in some more of these babies for the upcoming summer weather. What do you reach for on a lazy day?

 

PS My 80 year old grandmother, who suffers from dementia, took my photos today and it was the most fun for the both of us. :) enjoy your day!

Quite A Pattern

dress: rainbow // clutch: ENiT design // wedges : target (last season) // bracelets: target, accessory auctions

 

I wanted to name this post, The Bitch is Back, but as much as I love Elton, I was slightly afraid of the google searches I would pop up in. But the sentiment is still here! Breaking back in to the swing of things with one of the most happy patterns! One of my merrymaking secrets is that I frequent some cheeeeap fast fashion stores. Rainbow is a bit like F21, but a more urban vibe. You have to dig through some club clothes to find a gem, but they are there. And for $19.99, the search is worth it! I love the one of a kind pieces I have added to my closet from places like Rainbow.

Also, any excuse to tie in my red wedges and I will take it.

I hope May treats all of my little chickens well. Thanks for the comments and emails during my absence. It definitely boosts my merriment to know that I was missed. Spring is in full swing in Memphis, so I hope to bring you nonstop merrymaking.

Xo.

 

Wishful Shopping: Early Fall Edition

I came to the realization the other day that I add more items to my closet in the fall and winter months than the other two seasons combined!  Something about the relief of the sweltering heat being over makes me yearn for some chunky knits and funky wedge booties!  Being the smart and somewhat frugal merrymaker that I am... I snagged some boots (five pairs to be exact) on super sale from various stores at the end of spring. Now, I am making a vow to not purchase any more fall/winter footwear BUT these other items are sure making it hard to stick to my nonexistent shopping budget for September.

Orla Kiely Multi Headband | To keep the ears warm, the hair in check, & the cuteness present.  Perfect for the chillier football games!

ASOS Curve Pinafore Dress in Plaid Check | I love that plaid/tartan is ever present this season!  Something about me Scottish roots has me yearning for this dress!

J. Crew Jeweled Chandelier Sweatshirt | I love dressing up a casual thing!  Keep it cute and comfy, please!

Simply Be Fur Trim Cardigan Coat | Memphis weather spends a lot of time "in between" cool and cold, so a lighter coat option is a must!  I love the aztec print.

ASOS Faux Fur Lapel Collar |  I love the vintage feel of lapel collars and the cobalt blue color just adds extra oomph points!

What trends/items are on your must-have list as the fall creeps closer?
