The Dress: 

I don’t think I’ve shopped at American Eagle Outfitters since high school, but a fellow blogger introduced me to this gorgeous cut-out dress, and I’m loving it! I bought it in both the green and black (yeah, that’s what I do) and I love both!! For more detailed info on the black, check out my post here.  The black is versatile as black usually is, but the forest green is pretty against your skin. It has a stretchy smocked back so it’s not constricting and you can wear a strapless bra if you’d like. It’s lined with a slip for no show through. The cutout, which is all the rage this season, is perfectly situated as to not cut into you when you sit down to that fabulous brunch and take down that chicken and waffles and fourteen mimosas on Clearwater Beach. Oh wait. Was that just me?

The Shoes:

I am wearing this year’s “It” wedges.  They are AMAZING and I love them! You’re going to get sick of seeing me in them, but I’m obsessed.  I have them in gray, cognac, and black.  I’m tempted to get them in white! For more information on these beauties, check out my entire post dedicated to their greatness here.

The Bag:

I am obsessed with this bag!  I received it in the mail yesterday and wore it to a bday party and got so many compliments already.  I LOVE the cute little top that opens up as if it’s a fun little treasure chest for whatever you have inside.  My favorite part is the fact that it has the long strap, making it great for travel as a cross body.  The Cult Gaia Luna Bamboo Bag  is gorgeous, but at $219 it’s just not in everybody’s budget. I was THRILLED to find this steal for just $43.99 with free shipping on Amazon Prime!

Fit Tips for it All:

• The Dress: This dress is the perfect length for a person of my height at 5’4″ when wanting to wear flats. It could be a fantastic midi for someone taller than that, though. I read through reviews and the size chart and chose a medium in both colors, and it fits perfectly. I could have gone smaller for the midsection, but the bust would have been too tight. If you have any specific questions about fit and measurements, feel free to contact me! I’m happy to help you avoid having to return and exchange for fit purposes.
• The Shoes:  If you have a wide foot, I suggest going up one half a size.  If you have a narrow or average foot, go with your regular size.  You should be good to go!
