Outfit
Red Skirt
Floral Print Top, Red High Waist Skirt, Tan Flats Forever 21 | Cream Cardigan Wet Seal | Apple Ring Full Tilt
There is something about red that is so alluring! I wanted to try something new, and I rarely (if ever) wear lip gloss/lip stick/ lip stains. I’m just no good when it comes to applying make-up. I think this color worked well for me.
My outfit was mistaken as a dress, but the red in the top goes so well with the skirt! This is one of my favorite outfits because it is cute and can work for a picnic, lunch, garden party, or even going to a flea market while riding a nice bike! Unfortunately I used it for work, but then again it brightened people’s day with all the color I bring to the office.
I realize I had to keep accessories minimal because of the bright lips and bright colors on my outfit. It made me wonder if I could pull of lip stick with something else. What would you wear lipstick with?

Gelato
Blazer Zara Women | Regazza Passport Chiffon Dress Diane Von Furstenberg | Necklace and Bangles Forever 21 | Wedges Steve Madden
I know this is a weird event to dress up for, but the title of the post does relate to my outfit (I promise!)
This morning one of my coworkers mentioned that my outfit reminded her of France, but then said maybe Italy as well. And I did point out that the dress had passport stamps and visas as the print. It made me feel like I should take this dress on one of my travels, whenever that happens.
But then it is strange how things connect during the day because I ended up eating gelato for my break, and the interior of the shop was black and white. I later found out it was because the shop used to be a See’s Candies shop, but it was cool seeing as I fit right in with the place. The tables and chairs were silver and it was like my whole outfit was translated into the space. Hence the title of this post!
I love this dress, and you might recognize it as a top I have, and that is because I loved the top so much I just had to have the dress. This was possible through eBay! Now to just avoid buying anything there for as long as possible….

Kate Spade Dress
Black Cardigan Forever 21 | Black Lace Overlay Dress Kate Spade | Pearl Strand Necklace via Flea Market | Black Patent Heaven Flats Steve Madden
The detail of the dress is stunning in person! It’s my first Kate Spade dress, and I found it at Crossroads Trading Co..
I had one of those days where I didn’t feel like wearing anything tight or restrictive. I wanted to dress girly, but still be comfortable. As I piled all my clothes onto my bed, I found this dress and realized I had not worn it since I bought it. It had reminded me of a dress Jackie O would wear with her pearls and chic sunglasses. I tried it on and felt comfortable. It made me question why I had not worn it sooner!
Next time I will wear it without the cardigan and with white (or red) heels. My hair will also be in a bun! Now if only I could get myself some Jackie O Ray Ban sunglasses, then that would definitely complete the look!

Flea Market
Black Jacket, Grey One- Shoulder Top, Zebra Necklace, and Black Jeans Forever 21 | Grey Heaven Flats Steve MaddenAnother Sunday spent at the Flea Market! More like 3 hours because it was a lazy Sunday. Today’s outfit wasn’t entirely fit for the warm weather, but it worked when it cooled in the afternoon.
I went with Mando and my sister, and we found a nice amount of goodies. My 2 favorite finds were a Kitchen Aid handheld mixer for $10 and a cupcake carrier for only $8. I love a good deal, and I am a firm believer that haggling for the best deal is a good way to practice negotiation skills. I think a lot of the time people are afraid of asking for a lower price, but even a dollar or 2 off is a good start to saving money.
Hope you had a fun weekend!
