Liquorice Lines Striped Dress (under $50 / wearing size US 6 for a looser fit/ use code FINAL for 20% off clearance) c/o French Connection || Cognac Crossbody Bag (similar) || Cognac Wedged Sandals (on SALE for only a few more days) || Gorjana Necklace || Kendra Scott Cuff Bracelet || Earrings || Cat Eye Sunglasses

This striped sleeveless dress might look familiar because not only have I posted about it before but I honestly wear it almost every week.  My boyfriend says I wear it every day and now kindof despises it but I just can't help it.  It's one of those casual, everyday staples that will last a long time because of how well its made.  Plus, you can wear it through spring, summer, and fall paired with a denim jacket.  The best part is that it is on sale now for atleast $100 less than what it originally was.  You can use the code FINAL for another 20% off.  This dress is a steal. I wore it this time with my new favorite cognac wedged sandals and a matching & affordable crossbody bag.

I'm actually taking the day off work today to catch up on my to-do list/life in general.  I'm still in the process of moving from one apartment to another and I never knew I had so much stuff... I'm trying to not bring over any clutter from the old place.

Hope everyone's week is going great.  Don't forget about that good 'ol Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that is still going strong until Sunday.  I keep telling myself I'm done with my purchases but then I see things like these earrings and these rain boots.

There's nothing that reminds me more of a classic summer outfit than navy and white stripes.  It's a look that will truly never go out of style and for something so classic, I prefer higher quality pieces.  Let me introduce to you J. McLaughlin.  When I think about the style of J. McLaughlin, I picture myself on a dock at the beach in the beginning of summer about to hop on a yacht or something.  This brand has some of the finest quality, timeless, and classic pieces I've seen.  This striped boatneck tee isn't just a regular tee.  It's a cool tee.  Really though- it is made of a material that is really cooling on my skin (Nylon/Spandex... just checked).  It is a little pricier than most striped tops you might find but I promise you... it is actually worth it.  I never knew a shirt could be so comfortable and well-made and I even considered sleeping in mine one night.  I think I may end up getting the coral and lake blue one too.  This top would also make a great gift for a friend/mom/grandmother... I know my mom would LOVE it.

I'm getting super excited for the summer but I don't know if I'm quite ready for it.  Starting next weekend, it's about to be jam packed with activities.  I also found a new apartment that I'll be moving to at the end of July and I couldn't have found a more perfect one! It'll be a lot closer to my work too which I'm pretty excited about.
