best 5 dollar purchase

dress-H&M; cardigan-H&M; flats-g21; purse-vintage; necklace-H&M

In case you were wondering what I've been living in since the last outfit post, here it is. This dress cost 5 bucks, and is simply the comfiest thing you could imagine! I'm sure you've crossed paths with it at your local H&M, and you probably glanced at it and walked away (like I did back when it was regular price) but come on, 5 bucks for a brand new dress?! who can pass that up...?!

Here's just 5 reasons why I love this dress so much (5 reasons, one for each dollar it cost me; clever, I know!):
1. it's pretty! (if I do say so myself)
2. the tiny floral print is super easy to work with and the remixing possibilities are nearly endless!
3. it's light as air! yet the length means I don't have to worry about my undies being exposed every time a whiff of air passed by
4. it's great for running errands in, (and especially great when you've skipped on shaving your legs...)
5. it's an awesome transition piece! I can layer it, I can wear it with boots, I can add a scarf,... seriously; best 5 bucks I've spent this summer!;)

Any awesome purchases you're proud of? Feel free to brag about them in the comments!:)

Every time I put on this skirt a whiff of wind pops out of nowhere and you get to witness facial expressions like the ones on the last photo... And, you'd think, that a skirt that long wouldn't reveal my undies to the world anytime some wind blew, but nope...it's as light as air, so it pretty much flies wherever (kind of glad we took these photo's on the balcony, as opposed to outside, because my awkwardness may scare some people ;))

p.s.- I did NOT mean for this outfit to be an entirely thrifted/vintage one, but hey, when it happened, I just rolled with it. ;)

flower child

Actually I wasn't much of a flower child growing up, but this skirt just evoked that title.

The bf/ photographer and I finally figured out the best time to take outfit pictures on our little balcony, between 7:30 am and 9:30 am. It's kind of funny that this entire school year I only managed to get up in time for my 9 am class about 4 or 5 times, but getting up and dressed for an outfit post=no problem! I guess once the stress of school went away, I actually want to wake up and be outside; plus, the awesome spring that's finally arrived doesn't hurt the situation either!
