Welcome Back

IMG_7078-1edit

Hello there! So, hopefully I'm back from my hiatus. My mother's surgery went well (thanks for all the well wishes!) and I've spent most of the weekend running errands and just doing whatever she needs. Needless to say, things have been quite busy and I am exhausted. My running around coupled with this ridiculous heat wave New York is experiencing has led my weekend style to be relaxed and simple. I got this striped dress from Forever 21 a while ago and it has been my go to dress since I got it. It's comfortable but doesn't feel too lazy. Hence, it's exactly what I need it to be.

Oh, and big thanks to Bethany of Bunny Picnic for being a pal and doing a guest post while I was gone! That bow tutorial was too cute, right?

Dress: Forever 21
Jacket: Salvation Army
Shoes: Urban Outfitters

    Yay, welcome back! I'm so glad your mom's surgery went well. Thank goodness!

    I love your sunglasses so much! The shape is so awesome and blue is my ultimate favorite color.

    Glad your mom is well! This is such a cute dress. Ahh the heat is quite rough but I'll take it over the rain. Stay cool lady we've got a long hot one ahead of us.

    I'm glad your mom is okay:) Surgery is nothing fun. And boy is it hot on the East Coast!! Ugh! Sun dresses will be the best thing to happen all summer. Yours is fantastic!

    Hello D: Glad to hear that all is well. I live the subtle little pop of color in that dress. I could only wish we had a heat wave here. It's still rainy and gross.

    Welcome back, and hope the recovery process is going well. What are you even doing wearing a jacket in a heatwave? I feel you, it's pretty hot in Barcelona at the moment too... but I'm loving it after the wind and rain in England!

    I am glad everything with your mother went well and wish her a happy and fast recovery! And it's nice to have you back! You always have the best little details! I love how you match your stripped dress with the denim jacket, those lovely shoes and pretty sunglasses! And the fact that the belt from the dress is red is even better!
    Also, I've seen those shoes in UO the other day and like them even more now! ;)
