Since realizing this a month or so ago, I’ve been on a rampage…now I have a complete overabundance of basics. It’s getting ridiculous actually.
Anyway, I bought this dress with the intention of making it a good every day office piece but it’s way too short (I usually don’t bother trying on in-store, bad habit). It will, however, be the perfect dress for weekending all summer! It also fills the void in my closet for black pieces – seriously need to get on the “black goes with everything” train at some point or another because I’m seriously concerned that I’m a freak of nature. Isn’t it weird that it feels unnatural when I wear it?
Anyway, I hope you all have the most amazing weekend! I’m going to my friend Nashlyn’s album release party tonight – excited! Her band’s Emberfield, check them out!
Love your dress! I was just thinking I need more basis in my closet too!

That dress is gorgeous, love it with the RM bag! I know how you feel about black, I used to work in a store with an all black wardrobe, since then I never feel like wearing black ever. Please check out my Friday Link Up and enter one of your posts for next week!

I love the dress – that detailing around the neck is so fun and definitely perfect for summer weekends. I love the addition of the tan sling bag – makes it look almost so fashionably hippie-ish.

This is the perfect casual summer dress for sure, I love the detailing along the neckline and black really does go with everything. I have the tendency to be distracted by pretty prints/colours etc and never have the proper basics other than jackets/blazers. But yeah it's amazing what good basics can do for a wardrobe!

Lovely dress! Liking the red collar! Your rampage for basics reminds me of the fact that whenever I'm looking for a certain item, I seem to see it on literally everyone! I've been wanting a jean jacket and I swear everyone at college has been wearing one lately! I need to go try some on!

I can relate to your obsessions! The dress also caught my eye at H&M. The neckline trim is darling!
Wow you look so stunning! Love that dress, and LOVE your hair – it looks like hair-commerical-worthy hair =)
I totally know what you mean about obsessing over something you think you're missing in your wardrobe! I'm on a full-on rampage to find a) colorful pumps, and b) cute jewelry after realizing everything I own is either silver, or really dainty and small. And ugh, it's hard on the bank account those rampages!
You picked out a great basic though – that dress is gorgeous! 🙂
I feel the same way about black shoes!!! I just can't get into them at all!
Love the dress!
