Red Dress Lovins

I've mentioned on here before that red is my power color.  I always feel so much more likely to tackle a tough day when I feel like I'm in control. Dressing myself well makes me feel in control. Whenever I'm in doubt, I throw on something red!

I wore this to a friend's wedding a few weekends ago and I LOVE this dress. It twirls! Don't you automatically feel prettier when you wear a twirly dress? :)

I love this combo, very summery and fresh! I feel like I'll be wearing the crap out of this skirt until it's officially Fall. :)

Blue & White, Just Right!

I am SO beyond happy that I am fitting in my old clothes again. I lost a ton of weight when I was in the hospital and I'm finally back at a point where I can wear my old stuff without falling out of it. YEEHAW! I love summer because of the pretty pastel-y colors everyone wears.  I got this light blue shirt a couple of weeks ago because I realized I had a sad lack of color in my wardrobe for summer.  I lot of my brightly colored things are a bit heavier for fall/winter.  I got the pants last year. Surprise surprise, they are both from LOFT. :)

My First Stitch Fix Box

If you are a bit of a subscription-box junkie like I am (sorry I'm not sorry), Stitch Fix might be something you want to look into.  I heard about it from a friend of my Mom's when I was home in May, and it is FUN!

The basic premise is this: get a box styled for you every month with 5 different pieces of clothing in them, keep what you like, send back what you don't at no charge.  My first box was filled with cute things, but I only ended up keeping one of them.  The navy/white chevron blouse goes with a lot that I already have and it works well for work and casual stuff too.  You win either way!

I will say, the pieces aren't the cheapest. But I feel the quality is much better than a lot of stuff you'd buy for cheaper. That blouse that I just bought is timeless and will be a staple in my wardrobe for years to come!

Enjoying the Summer Colors.

I adore this dress.  I bought it a few years ago at Ann Taylor and I'm so glad I did. It is one of my go-to summer dresses!

Night on the Town.

I went to see Spamalot with my boyfriend and some of our friends this past Thursday. We had a total blast!  It was a dinner theater, so we got to eat beforehand and they brought us dessert at intermission!  The show was also wonderful, my abs hurt the next day from laughing so hard. :)
