H&M dress, Zara heels, mama's vintage necklace and clutch

When I saw the metallic, structured fabric of this dress I knew the following:

#1 I wanted it
#2 I had nowhere to wear it to
#3 at $40 I would figure out somewhere to wear it to

I have always been the -splurge on a new dress for every special occasion kind of girl-so I was stoked when the Marine Corps Ball came around and I had this dress AND it was reasonably priced. I did give my usual shopbop dresses a whirl just to be sure, but I liked my economical dress better. That pretty much never happens.

  1. Gotta love a fun party dress! I'm with you - buy first, figure out the occasion later! At least this way you'll always have something ready on hand to wear! That last picture of you is GORGE! The colors of the sunset are so pretty too!

  5. great little party dress & p.s. i always end up doing one last shopbop once over BEFORE i can buy any party dress. it's just to make sure i am not missing something amazing, sometimes i cave and pay too much $$... but it's the days i still go for the steal that make me & my wallet happy!
