Happy Friday! While the rest of the country is celebrating the end of summer and the beginning of fall, the weather hasn’t cooled down enough in Houston for fall. I really do love the transition period from summer to fall because the heat is not as harsh as summer! It is also a great time to buy those items you have been eyeing for a while because there are tons of sales going on.
To say that denim has been a big trend this year is a big understatement. There is denim all around and I am absolutely thankful because I am obsessed with denim. I really love this retro and chic denim dress trend for the summer that can easily be transitioned into fall. There are several types of denim dresses out there but some of my favorites are the dungarees/overall dress, fitted denim dress, and the boxy denim dress. With a boxy denim dress you want the fit to be more relaxed. I got this dress a few weeks ago and although it is supposed to be loose, it was a bit too loose! I eventually had to get it altered just a bit so it didn’t look very big on me. One of the main selling points for this dress (besides the price) was the pockets! I am always looking for dresses with pockets because let’s face it, pockets jut make everything better.
Another recent purchase was this adorable Furla Graffiti print cross body. I am a sucker for bags with unique prints and this is definitely one of the most unique prints I have seen on a bag in a while. It is so whimsical and chic! The purse is actually the perfect size to hold all my essentials (phone, keys, makeup, and wallet). It definitely helps me narrow down what I really need as opposed to taking everything I own and dumping it in my purse.
I decided to pair this dress and purse with studded pumps for a more nighttime look. You can pair this dress with sneakers, slip-ons, gladiators, or flats for casual daytime look.
