There are a lot of things I am going to miss about summer, and bare legs and little dresses are definitely high up on that list. 

Even though Halley lives in the city herself, Dana currently lives in Boston. So when I got the two sisters together I jumped at the chance to shoot them on the roof, with the skyline in the background. And we really hit the jackpot with these dresses. I was skeptical at first about having them both in blue - but shit was I wrong. The two dresses complimented each girl, while still complimenting each other.

There's not much else to say as the pictures really speak for themselves. Well I guess I could say,  hello good genetics! But that would be too obvious.

Is the Little Blue Dress the new Little Black Dress?  

sensory overload

This post is in honor of Labor Day and not being able to wear white pants anymore, so here's a blog with a shit ton of prints and COLORED DENIM. Also, sisters! Try not to let your head explode.

A couple Saturday's ago, sisters Dana and Halley came to Brooklyn and we went out for lunch. I also took advantage of their fine fashion sense and asked them if I could feature them in an upcoming post. They were more than happy to help me out, and I was relieved and am eternally grateful! 

Colored and pattered denim has been really trendy this summer. Wearing it can sometimes be difficult (see: mint jeggings with cellulite texture), but it's important to not give a fuck what anybody else thinks - because in reality - ten or twenty years from now it's probably not going to be trendy, it's going to be outdated. And if you want to look back at your outdated trends, you're going to want to know that you went all out with that shit. 

As you can see, Halley and Dana are rocking these trends - extremely well, and they don't give a fuck, which may be the most important part. So thank you, to two of the most lovely sisters on the East Coast for being such lovely additions to my wee little blog!

So, I didn't really plan on busting out the yellow shoes until I was well into the double-digit posts, but I figured what the heck!? I had actually wanted to save them for a much later post, sort of as a secret weapon. #yolo? I paired them with this blue skirt (mint bird print) which is so soft and light, and perfect for summer. I wore this to work but toned it down with sensible nude ballet flats, cause anybody who walks to the subway in heels is bat-shit crazy!

I got these bow-detailed pumps for a steal when I was in high school and they've been a wardrobe-staple ever since. I've worn them to both high school and college graduation (with black and white dresses), and a bunch of birthdays in between. Some items on clearance really are gems.

What's the best thing that you've ever found on the clearance rack?
