When white on white is OK

Whites. Necessary for any (or most) soror girls out there. Especially me! Anyway this dress is super cute and you could probably pull off wearing it other places than just when necessary for the sorority (like a wedding or something).

(Dress) Target $39.99

Now, a white dress isn't that hard to come by this time of year, but cute white shoes aren't the easy part. Now, we all know you can only wear them out between Memorial Day and Labor Day, but Initiation is in December for us and white shoes are an absolute must!

For some reason I cant get the images of the shoes from DSW.com, so I'm just going to throw a couple of links into descriptions.

Pair #1: 2 inch heel, pointed toe $49.95
Pair #2: 4 1/2 inch heel, rounded toe, bow tie on the side $139.95
Pair #3: 3 1/2 inch heel, pointed toe, has rouched fabric $69.95
Pair #4: 1/2 inch platform, 3 3/4 heel, rounded toe, satin fabric $39.95


Then, if you don't want to do heels, there's always a simple pair of flats.


(Shoes) Target $12.99.

Blue dresses for the Big

(Dress) Express - $128. Ok, so this one isn't super blue, but the blue and sea foam green are awesome colors. And the rouching is absolute perfection. I know, believe me, because I have this dress in a floral print. Aka I will definitely be borrowing this and it will at least get more than once use.


Now, dress #2. (Dress) Lulus.com $47. This one is definitely more blue and it has an adorable back to it. (Click the link on the word "Dress" to see it.) It's cheap, which is good because most formal dresses really only get worn once or twice anyway. But this one on the right here is pretty classic and you could probably even wear it to work with a blazer or something.
Well, since the Little (me) is bored at work and neglecting the tasks she has to do, I'm searching through tons of blue dresses. This one is more of a navy color and definitely formal enough to wear to formal. (Dress) Lulus.com $37.50. Did I mention it's also on sale?

Side note: Just went on BCBG.com and blue is totally in right now! Go Big for having the style of the season down. Now for more dresses! But heres the disclaimer: BCBG is expensive. Definitely champagne status. Good thing my Big will be getting paid $20/hour next semester on co-op. Making paperrrr. The first one here is color block, which is definitely in as well. (Dress) BCBG $173

Now, option number two is one shoulder, more elegant and definitely more expensive. (Dress) BCBG $264.60. Oh, the price of beauty.

A little on the crazy side, the last dress I found  at BCBG is just barely cheaper than that last one, but definitely unique. It will absolutely draw attention and turn heads. (Dress) BCBG $243.60. Oh, did I mention that all the BCBG dresses I just showed you were on SALE. The prices of these things originally are insane, I won't even tell you for fear that your eyes will bleed in shock.

Anyway, I have a few stories to post now so that's all the blue dress I have for you now. Stay tuned for more. As well as shoes to go with them. My favorite part.

Summertime and the livin's easy

Summer feel so close, even though it's really not. But let's get some beachy attire goin' on here. I'm on VoctoriasSecret.com right now and going absolutely wild over the new swim things. But shoes are really the most important part (even though if you're going to the beach they won't be on for very long).

(Shoes) Victoria's Secret $29. Every girl's gotta be pretty in pink (wedges).

Now, this chick is wearing this dress all wrong for the season, but just imagine it. Without the stupid trench and with the gold belt from my first post. (Dress) Victoria's Secret $29.99.
Only a little accessorizing is necessary with this outfit. You don't want to have too much metallic going on since it's a beachy dinner date kind of look. These are perfect because they get the point of that across.

(Bracelets) Forever 21 $6.80.

Total for this outfit $65.79. When you consider this outfit is only 3 elements, this can seem pretty steep, but these shoes can be worn with the dress in the post before this too, or even the one from Wednesday. Plus who doesn't love a good pink shoe? Especially if you're a DZ Princess it's totally necessary to have in the closet.

Formal dress & HELP with shoes


So I just bought this dress for Kappa Sigma formal in April. It's from Express and is on sale for $69. I'm very very excited because it's a super flattering dress. The rouching is actually perfect, especially if you're a little self-conscious about your hips like I am.

However, I'm having issues about what color shoes to wear. I'm not really sure what shade of pink I should go with. I obviously am a huge fan of pink, being a DZ and all. But since the dress is super classy and I'll probably wear pearl jewelry, i need to make the shoes stand out a little, or at least make them awesome and perfect. Not sure whether I want to go a little crazy with the shoes or have them match the super-classy style I'm already going with. Someone help me decide?
       $79                                                      $65

Seriously Champagne

Dress - So I tried this dress on in Express the other day. It was so flattering. Very very short, but so awesome looking. It's $59 on sale, but I might go buy it anyway. It's awesome as hell. You can dress it up to go out to dinner with the girls (a skanky dinner) but more importantly it will
absolutely assist in getting guys'
attention in the bar.

These shoes are $225 because they're Michael Kors (my favorite designer). They're for the people who have a seriously champagne-ready  wallet or bank account. But if you don't and you can only afford the high-end beer or the low-end liquor, the second shoe option may be more for you.

Shoes - On heels.com, they're $89.09 which isn't totally unreasonable for a good pair of heels. And believe me, you want them to be a good pair of heels. I've had friends break heels on my favorite pairs of shoes completely unintentionally. It just happens and you're more likely to actually get them repaired if the shoes meant something to you in the first place.
(Bracelets) Forever 21 - $8.50. The're super dangly and fun and with such a small dress, a lot of accessories is totally necessary.

(Earrings) Forever 21 - $1.50. Simple studs won't cut it for a plain dress. Match the bronze from the shoes. Bring a crazy colored clutch out with you that goes with bronze and black, like purple, maroon or a dark mustard color.
