les soldes d'été

Summer sales! Ladies, if there are a few brands that you really like, find out if the store, or the stores in which the brands are sold, are having a summer sale. I can guarantee they are and its probably BIG! I drove 90 minutes to hit the sale of a brand I really like, which is worth it, as normally their pieces are a bit more expensive. So to change our scenery, I dragged my hubby along, we drive 1 1/2 hours, had a wonderful brunch, walked around a bit and scored 60% off of the cutest stuff that I can wear now, and into fall and winter! You will be seeing my finds on this blog for months to come.

So this dress is one of them. It's silk, with a self-tie belt that wraps around the body and ties on the side. It's a little flirty with the shorter length, a flouncy bottom and deep V style on top. On the shoulders there are little pleats sewn in which makes the top part of the dress loose and flow-y. The color is gorgeous for these hot summer days, and the long sleeves (you know I love) make it perfect for evenings inside with air-conditioning or a light breeze outside. It's the details such as these that make it worth the drive-oh yeah and the deep discount!

My shoes are adorable 'kitten heels' with a twist, and I threw on my favorite gold necklaces and ring. For my clutch I grabbed a little cotton bag, which is quite casual, but with the cotton material and saying, it felt right and fun to carry something lighter than a leather bag.

So....... if you know your favorite shop or brand is holding a summer sale, get in your car and go check it out! It will get you out of the house, make you look at something other than your walls, and you might just score some adorable pieces at amazing prices. Finding pieces such as these makes dressing easier, as it enables you to grab something out of your closet and just go. No fuss! Do it-you might be really happy you did, or at the least you got out of the house and did something.

Have a wonderful week everyone. xo
