Heeeeeeeey, Friends! Woop woop!!! We’ve made it to June! It’s practically summer! It certainly feels like summer already here in Houston. When I think of summer fashion, I think of bright colors, particularly primary colors!! In this look, the bright colors are in my accessories. I’ve mentioned a few times how pop poms are really in right now (like here). I found these earrings at a local store here in Houston, but I’ve linked to some similarly fun pairs in the links above and the widget below. The sunglasses are from Charlotte Russe and the bag is from Target. The rest of the look is fairly neutral. I’ve had this dress for awhile. I got it from Forever 21 several years ago. Though Forever 21 does not currently have this color, it has a dress in the same style (here) in amber and red colors, which are both very pretty. I love how long the sleeves are because they still have a good length when worn on-shoulder.
So, on a personal note, something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately is financial responsibility!! I’ve been trying to do better with saving money, etc. I’ve been spending a lot of money on clothes and accessories lately, so I’ve decided to take a break! I’m starting a summertime challenge! For the month of June (and maybe even July…we’ll see how it goes), I’m determined to not buy any new clothes. I really want to make an accessories exception, but I think I’ll stay strong in June and maybe introduce accessories in July if I feel the need. Ever since I started this blog, I have wanted to make sure I have at least some current items because I tend to feel bad when I post something that you guys really love and want to buy that is no longer available. It happens all the time, but I still feel bad. Lol. Of course, I do my best to find items that are very similar to what I have on, so you can recreate the look if you so desire. But I’m issuing this challenge to myself not just to save money, but to look at my wardrobe in a more creative way! I’ve already started this exercise. I’ve been thinking a lot about elevating my work style. I am working to create a work capsule wardrobe based on my items in my closet. Stay tuned for that and other exciting things coming to the blog this summer, like brand collaborations and giveaways! Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss a post!
If you haven’t embarked on a no-shopping challenge like me, make sure to check out Nordstrom‘s half-yearly sale!! You can get some really great deals! It ends on Sunday, June 4, so hurry! Also, be sure to check out my shop page for the items I’m loving right now. I’ll be regularly updating the shop page with the items I’m craving, but won’t be able to buy. Lol. Have an awesome weekend, and thanks so much for reading!!
