A Favorite Dress


Our weekend was full of rain and storms, nothing too great to snap photos in! But, Friday afternoon was the one spot of sunshine, and I was able to get these in. This is a new H&M dress (a mere 18 bucks, too!) and has quickly become one of my favorites. It’s lightweight, easy to wear, and you don’t need a ton of accessories or layering to make it look stunning- it does that all on its own! I fell in love with the colors before the style, but after trying it on I reeally loved it. While pink is a predominant color, take a second to pick out all the others that are actually in the dress! 


Yes, I know. I’m kind of obsessed with my new satchel. Sorry, but not really. Warning: you will be seeing alot of this bag in upcoming posts. (Deal with it, hehe.)

{Outfit Details- Dress: H&M, Satchel: Bueno via TJ Maxx, Jewelry: Assorted via Ireland, Juicy Couture, AEO, & Lia Sophia.}

With so much humidity the last days, I’ve let my hair do whatever it wants.. literally. And if it comes out looking like this? I won’t complain at all. This had to be one of my better hair days. I mean, how many times can you actually wake up and do absolutely nothing to long locks of hair? Not many, but this time.. I did. Goo me!

Also, my sweet sister Jessica snapped these photos. Lately she’s into photography, and has been doing a swell job! What do you all think? Yes? Follow her on pinterest to see more of her photos – they are beautifulllll!


You don’t need lots of layers to be colorful, or even stylish, especially in this kind of heat (well, the heat last week). Find one item you can count on for those uber-hot days and wear it!


XO,
Marissa

    You look gorgeous in this dress (despite the crazy humidity)! I adore the bold stripes and of course the satchel is just too perfect for summer 🙂

    And yes, hair days where you do nothing but it comes out looking perfect are fabulous… like seriously the best! I miss you girl and hope you’re having a fantastic summer 🙂

    I totally understand the new purse obsession! I get so attached to one purse I have to force myself to try another.
