Wanderlust

Channeling my inner Aphrodite for today's post!  Random fact: I used to be obsessed with Greek mythology. Yeah, nerdy then still nerdy now *beams with pride* Anywho, I got a really great response to my editorial-like post earlier this week (clicky here to see) so I thought I'd do something similar today.  I tried to be model-y, but it was tough - I kept cracking up.  I think I'm getting better though.  Strive for progress not perfection, right? 
Feeling a bit scandalous sharing this pic with you guys, ha.  Don't ask me why because, er, I don't know.  I'm loving my dress though.  Isn't it gorgeous?  It's perfect for hot summer days, and it doubles as a fab pool cover-up.  Made of silky white chiffon, it flows beautifully in the wind.  You'll feel like a total goddess wearing this dress.  Available in white here and blue here for $35.88!
I accessorized with a bold layered necklace (courtesy of Sparkles & Pop).  This stunning piece is available HERE for $32.  If you're a fan of statement jewelry, you need to browse their collection STAT.  I'm not messing around.  I've been wearing their jewelry EVERY single day - they sent me 4 items to review - because I'm THAT obsessed.
Dress:  c/o Bikini Luxe ($35.88)
Necklace:  c/o Sparkles & Pop ($32)

CUTE SKIRTS UNDER $20 AT H&M

Soooo, I went shopping at H&M recently and flipped out over all the cute stuffs available there.  For those of you who've been following SS for a while, y'all know how much I love wearing cute skirts.  I just HAD to share my favorites.  All currently on sale for $20 and under.  Yeah, you're welcome in advance.  FYI: I'm making ZERO commission with this.  I'm just sharing because I'm all kinds of nice *smiles*

Mixing Prints: Leopard + Polka Dots

Yay for mixing prints!  Excited to tell you guys all about today's OOTD.  Let's start with my new handbag courtesy of Ms. Little's Bag.  This fab item is made from high-quality pu leather and has a fully lined interior.  The exterior is waterproof AND scratch-resistant.  Clicky HERE to pick one up for yourself.  Use code FreeShip to get free shipping on US orders $75+.
I'm LOVING my new collarless leopard blouse - currently available at Tamar for $39 HERE (originally $69).  It's a serious must-have IMO.  If you're a fan of animal print, you're gonna want to cop this STAT.  It looks great dressed up and down and looks WAY more expensive than it is. I guarantee this will become a wardrobe fave.
My look sans jacket!  Wearing several prints at once can be scary (since you're in essence making a "loud" fashion statement) so I recommend sticking to neutrals if you're a "beginner".  Experiment with different black & white prints to start.
