Yellow J.Crew Eyelet Dress

Hello hello! 

We went out to dinner with some friends a few weeks ago and I loved this outfit so much I thought I'd share the details here. I mentioned when I posted a photo of this outfit to Instagram that I rarely buy yellow clothing. In the past I haven't felt like it was a flattering color for my skin tone but I loved the style of this dress so much when I saw it on sale at Nordstrom and I thought "what the heck" let's get it. Luckily, I have a little tan still left over from Mexico and that really helps make the color even more flattering. This dress is still available at Nordstrom and it is on sale for $59 which is $20 less than the sale price I paid. The quality is incredible and definitely like some of my older J.Crew items that have lasted years. I think I may try to re-style this dress with a jean jacket or jean shirt tied at the waist.

Recently, I have been into mixing contrasting colors and I just LOVE the way these blue beaded earrings make the outfit pop. I found these earrings while searching for a specific pair on Etsy and came across THIS woman's shop. Her name is Valentina and her earrings are stunning. Needless to say I needed up with 4 pairs of earrings including this custom pair I had made from a design I couldn't find elsewhere. I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing from her shop. The quality it incredible and she is truly talented. 

How cute is this little wicker bag?? I saw one of my favorite bloggers Caitlin from Southern Curls and Pearls wearing it while traveling to Mexico and I legit purchased it right as our plane was taking off. I just had to have it. Topshop has a ton of really cute, moderately priced bags out right now. I love this one,  this one and this one. 

Last thing I wanted to talk about are my sunglasses. They are by Le Specs and they are the sunglasses Meghan Markle wore while in NYC for her baby shower. She wore the black which I also own but I am wearing the tortoise shade here. They do look black in the above pictures for whatever reason. I love these sunglasses! They are so chic, the lenses are the perfect size and I love that it is hard to see your eyes when you are wearing them. Makes for perfect people watching. They are also an amazing price point! 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!
