Summer in Minnesota

I just got home yesterday from visiting my sister in Minnesota for a few days! I know I've only been up there during the summer, but I love it there! I know the winter is a completely different story, so I'll just stick with visiting her in the summer. ;) 

While I was there, I snagged this dress from Forever 21. I don't have anything like it in my closet and I love it! I knew I had to get in a blog before I left, so my sister was my photographer for the day! It was so much fun taking pictures by the lake in the woods! It's so beautiful and GREEN in Minnesota. That might sound dumb, but it's a different type of green...trust me. :) 

Miss you so much already, Brittney!!! 

Midi Dress: Forever 21

Necklace: Forever 21

Hat: Cotton On

Black Out

I'm all about pops of color and pattern mixing, but I also love wearing all black. There's something about it that makes me feel more put together...more uniform.   When organizing my closet one day, I noticed I had more black shoes, tops and dresses more than anything. Coincidence? Probably not.

This romper was on major sale at LOFT Outlet. Less than 20 dollars! I love the length of it. Can easily be paired with heels or just with my converse. That's how I normally justify pieces when buying them. This romper definitely passes the test of being versatile! 

Hope you all are having a great weekend!
