Red, white, rain, and blue


I kind of feel a lot of pressure wearing this dress for the first time. I got it a few weeks ago, and just as I normally try and do, pinned it to my Closet Room Collection board on Pinterest. As of right this second, it has 61 likes and 117 repins. I always wonder if the piece is really that good, or if the model just does a good job showcasing it. Either way, I definitely can't compete with a tall, slim, potentially photoshopped model, so I shall distract you with my glitter shoes instead!

See pin here


This dress definitely feels patriotic even though it's mixed with black stripes instead of blue, but that actually works great because the pop of cobalt is so fun! And what's stars and stripes without glitter - perfect opportunity to wear my glitter pumps. Black, white, red, gold, blue. I love this combo.



Unfortunately, it's raining AGAIN today. I really don't think it let up all day - constant precipitation. And it dropped to 60 degrees at one point as well. Therefore, I added a black cropped blazer and rain boots for outside. The only good thing about all this rain is more time in these boots!

    1. Thank you! And yes, kinda hating the rain, but relieved at the drop in temperature. Just can't have it all I suppose!
