Apparently I don't shoot enough all white outfits to remember how difficult it can be to do in shadow. Hopefully none of you are blinded, because I had to turn the ISO down on my camera a couple notches to even get this much detail.

Regardless, this is a dress I picked up in February and absolutely love how it looks - with or without the belt. It's so clean and crisp, and after a quick run of my steamer, an absolute joy to wear. Ok well, an absolute joy besides the fact that I have to put it on before makeup, because I find it almost impossible to pull on (it goes over the head)  without touching some part of my face.

So I'm not even going to try and claim that I'm being unique with this look. I loved how Extra Petite styled her Banana Republic pieces, and with some comparable items already in my closet I decided to give it a try.

And when you consider all the compliments I've gotten both times I've worn this outfit, I think it's safe to say that she's on to something. 

It may be September but Fall has just barely started to be felt in the DC area. Temperatures are supposed to be in the 90's this week so I'm just going to keep wearing my fun colors, full skirts, and ridiculous purses for as long as possible.

And guess what? I leave for DragonCon tomorrow! I can't wait!

I'm not sure what to say about this post really. Sorry for the humidity induced extra bad bitch face?

Sigh.

This top from Doll Me Up Darling is a more recent purchase, and all in all I'd say it was worth the $20. The polyester/spandex mix looked a little "swimsuit-y" in the lighter colors I tried, and finding a bra to wear with it was almost impossible, but it works great as another top option with this skirt so I'm happy.

The hat that is. My head is usually just large enough to kill any cute hat dreams but somehow, magically, this random one my friend Natasha picked up in Target fit. Now to figure out how to beat hat hair...
