Hello!
My summer officially began when I turned in my paper yesterday morning! The weather really couldn't be any better there. I had the best first day of summer ever! Unfortunately, I can't share the photos with you just yet...You'll just have to wait a little longer, but I promise it'll be worth the wait!
So yesterday, I spent the day in LA with Robert. We went to Santa Monica Pier and then walked up to the Third Street Promenade where we shopped until we dropped. We found a new store called "Cotton On" that was having a massive sale! I scored so many things for $40: 2 skirts, 2 pairs of shoes, a top, and we even donated some money to their charity because we felt bad that everything was so cheap. We'll definitely be going back to that store! Since the sky cleared up, we went back to the pier and just enjoyed time together until we had to drive downtown to join our friends for all-you-can-eat korean bbq! So delicious! We definitely got our $10 worth!
This is what I wore running errands before we went to LA yesterday, and what I'm wearing today. I bought this dress and these shoes on Friday with my bestie and wasn't sure whether I wanted to keep the dress or not. So I gave it a bit of a test-run with an outfit post and wearing it for about an hour yesterday. Well Robert loved it and it was super comfortable, so I'm keeping it--hence why I'm wearing it today. I'm really hoping these new goodies hold me over while I replenish my bank account because I am broke! I'll take better photos and style it up better another day...but I think polka dots and red were just made for each other, don't you?
I just watched The A-Team with Robert, and it was actually really good! Bradley Cooper is so dreamy! Once summer classes begin next week it's go-time for studying for my teacher credential exams; applying for jobs; and going to class. So this is my only week of summer in a long while...Gotta live it up!
Until next post,
Jasmine
PS. My goal this summer is to wear more dresses, because I realized that I have accumulated a lot over the years. Some have never even been worn...!
outfit: red cardigan -- zara; polka dot dress and floral flats -- f21; belt -- gap; pink bow -- h&m

Wow Jasmine I adore this outfit on you! That dress looks so fabulous, I'm glad you decided to keep it! The red cardigan is also so lovely with the dress, and I love your belt and shoes too! Oh what fun, I really want to go to Santa Monica Pier :) Haha I saw The A-Team too, it was pretty funny! That part where Murdock is spinning on the helicopter propeller and singing totally cracks me up every time I think about it.
ReplyDeleteYou know I love you in your signature stripes... but I must say the spots are so lovely and refreshing to see on you! You styled the dress wonderfully, Jazz. (: and wow, that's a lot of stuff for 40 bucks!!
ReplyDeleteI just have to say that I am in love with your dress. Where did you get it and how can I get one. I have been on the look out for a great white dress and am obsessed with polka dots, so this seems like the natural conclsion for me! I love how you styled it with the floral flats and striped belt. So unexpected yet dreamy!

I really, really love red on you! Such a bright and cheery color too. I love the Santa Monica Pier and Third Street is definitely dangerous for the wallet. :)

I love the polka dot dress and the shoes. I wonder if thats the same cotton on store that we have here in Australia. It's also really cheap, but I they don't really get new things in very often so I don't go there too much.
ReplyDeleteI love the pop of red. The red bow, red cardigan, the printed shoes (w/ red or is that orange?). Anyway, the polka dress is always classic as ever and your styling made a refreshing twist on this outfit.

i love your today's autfit. and dress is definitely a keeper, it suits you so well!
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with your dress and shoes. Floral prints, big bows, what more can you ask for?:D And I feel the same way about Summer & dresses. I've been buying dresses lately because they're no fuss and we can still wear them with tights in Fall and Winter! Glad to know you enjoyed the A-Team. Face was dreamy, but Murdock stole the show for me. He's friggin' hilarious! :D
ReplyDeleteI heard about Cotton On and their great basics. Too bad they're not avail. in Canada :( :( :(
