E.R.- Effortlessly Rustic

I have always been a fan of the maxi dress. It's so easy to put on and head out the door. It just seems so effortless.

I have been in the search for a maxi skirt that is sheer at the bottom and has a lining in the inside to make it seem like I have a short skirt or something on. I came across this dress at Forever 21 and fell in love!

Who cannot resist the bohemian feel with the crochet?! I know I could not pass it up. The flattering v-neck and awesome color (green is one of my favorites!) make this dress even more effortless to go from work at the store to happy hour with my friends at Shokudo (a favorite Japanese fusion restaurant).

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

xoxo,
Britt

Life is lately black and white (with pops of color!)

Sorry for the delay in posts. I have been focusing on school and......wait for it...... JUST GRADUATE with my bachelors. I know I'm so glad it's done. This semester was extra brutal since I had my senior capstone class (single most stressful class that sucks the life out of me), two masters classes, web design, and pile on family and work. Yes, lately my life is all black and white with school, work, and sleep (repeat).

Hence this post. This outfit would be appropriate. All black and white. Add in the hints color because life can't always be black and white. What do you get? Simple Chic. Enjoy!

Trust me I'll be posting more now I'm not having to worry about school.
