Speaking of heat, what better way to beat the heat than in this perfect striped dress? It's got sleeves! (I am beginning to value this quality as much as pockets.) Also, I decided that a denim vest is the perfect complement to an outfit worn in the heat. I searched for a vest for awhile, but all of them gape in the armpits, a problem I have with so many sleeveless items. Who has big armpits!? I am befuddled. Anyway, I peeped this beauty in Kohl's when Mom and I went in bearing a 30% off coupon and some Kohl's credit. Thanks, Lauren Conrad, this vest fits just right, and it came home with the dress. Look at what a perfect pair they are. Sure, I had to enter a dressing room after a weird, smelly couple exited it. And I had to try on the vest and dress while standing in the middle of the funk cloud they left behind them. It was worth it. (Don't worry, as they exited the dressing room together, I remarked quite loudly that, "You're effing [I said the actual word] disgusting. Yes, you." Don't do stupid or disgusting things, and the bubble above my head won't pop.)

Such a cute outfit! Looks like your summer is off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteUck, I am thoroughly disgusted. But this cute outfit makes up for it! I've been totally seeing the appeal of denim vests. Just as versatile as a denim jacket but you can wear it through the summer!
ReplyDeletehaha I wouldn't have gone in the room after them. I would have looked at it, coughed out loud, and said "ewww what is that smell?" But I'm glad that you found such a great dress and vest! I went to Kohl's this morning and walked out empty handed. Although there was a really cute tee with zebras and one with elephants on it, but neither was still available in my size. Just because the national average female size is 14 doesn't mean that smaller people don't exist and need clothes!! bah!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree about the dress with sleeves thing. I love sleeves and I get so tired of having to wear a cardigan over all my tank dresses to work. You are totally winning with the sleeve dress and the cute vest. And gross people!?
ReplyDeleteWere they doing something in there that they shouldn't have been?
ReplyDeleteGroooooossssss! (the couple, not your outfit). I don't even understand why this would have happened!
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, this dress is adorable! I hardly ever go into Kohl's, but I have a giftcard from Christmas that I need to use. I've seen a few really cute options from Kohl's on other bloggers recently, so I might just have to go check it out soon. And I might have to be creepy and buy the same dress as you. Because it's perfect.
Hahahahahah, I love you and how bold you are! I can just picture/hear you saying that, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI really, really love this outfit, by the way. I wish I had picked up a denim vest before I began this year of no shopping...oh well! I'm such a fan of dresses with sneakers as well, so this is a total win for me! :)
Your outfit is super adorable!!! I have been keeping my eye out for a striped dress with sleeves with no luck yet (ok, I haven't exactly searched THAT hard). Perfect pairing with your new denim vest and sneakers.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I just can't picture you swearing. I had to read your brackets again because I thought I must have read it wrong. I love that you told them off. That is just gross.
I LOVE this outfit! It's the perfect combination of cute and comfy! Also, your hair looks great!
