Pretty Posing

* Dress - H&M * Pumps - Jessica Simpson * Earrings & Bracelets - Forever 21 *

Okay so I have been SUPER excited to wear this dress I bought while I was in Orlando a couple of weeks ago.  I am sure if you have been reading my blog for awhile you know I LOVE stripes!  However, this dress was a little bit too colorful for me, but I was coerced into buying it anyway.  I am trying to incorporate more color into my closet so this piece was perfect even if I was iffy about how it would really look once I decided to wear it.  

Since we are having summer time temps this week today was the perfect day to bring this baby out! The material is very light, and the dress isn’t lined.  I almost wore my safe shoes, my Jessica Simpson platform sling backs, just my luck they were in my car, lol.  So I grabbed my sparkly Jessica Simpson d’orsay platform pumps and they matched perfectly.  I wish all of my outfits came together this easily!

Okay, now for the good stuff! I have cleaned out my closet and I have some goodies to give away.  This is what I am thinking.  I will list the items here randomly to keep it fair and the first person to respond to answer my question in the comments section would receive the item.  You must be a follower via Google Friend Connect or email subscription (and yes I will check). This will be open to US followers only.  Lastly, you must email me a picture of you wearing the item you won! Okay, I think this will be fun, you guys let me know.  If there is no interest then everything will be donated to Goodwill.

This dress is beautiful! I like the cut because it cinches in the waist, which is perfect for curvy girls. I also like the stripes. I'm not a big stripes fan either, but these definitely work. Go girl!

I really like the added tie in the front and I like the colors in this dress.  Looks like a nice cut too!

I really like JS shoes...I dont think there's a "celeb" brand out there that can touch hers.

Very cute Dress! IDK I could pull off stripes however I do need to try new things.  I really need to add color.  I need to look at fashion with a more positive feel.
