I've been on a self-imposed shopping "diet" since summer started. I'm making an effort to be more creative with wearing what is already in my closet (this outfit is proof), and keeping myself occupied with other things (like cooking) so that I'm not shopping. It's not to say that I don't buy anything. But the things I do buy are items I believe will stand the test of time and allow me to wear for years to come.

To say I love this dress is an understatement. There was a week where I wore it three times because it's the perfect breezy, flowy piece of clothing I want to wear in the heat of summer. I paired the dress with these Sam Edelman sandals I scored at Nordstrom Rack in downtown Seattle when I was there last week for Jay-Z and Beyonce's concert. The shoes were promptly broken in after dancing all night in them (and walking an hour after the concert trying to catch a cab back to the hotel - ouch!).
