Striped shirt dress, Jason Wu for Target. Pointed toe leather boots, Kelsi Dagger (similar- and on sale!)
Crystal necklace, DIY. Dillen 2 satchel, Dooney & Bourke.
When first styling this dress, I steered towards cute overload: I had a bow in my hair and Betsey Johnson jewelry on. The longer I contemplated this, the more uncomfortable I felt. I've never been one to be over the top when it comes to girly styling. I know that as a blogger it is probably easier to try and style yourself in a particular "niche" with daily outfits, but I never want to dress the same way every day. Sometimes it is fun to dress up in a tulle skirt and lace and be unapologetically girly, but I'd definitely get bored doing that every day.
After a few accessory swap outs, I was much happier with my outfit. It's a subtle nod towards the less girly side of my style, but definitely maintains the classic feel that I prefer. Like the roses whose petals I utilized in this shoot (don't worry, they had already fallen), I like having my thorns. Even when I dress in ice cream pastels and look like the sweetest girl around, my sass is something I'll always cherish.

pretty, i like your choice of black accessories. it makes the pastels less saccharine while still remaining sweet
You are an excellent writer :) Sass is certainly something to hang on to! I love this look--the boots add edge and the crystal necklace is GORGEOUS. :)

I like your shoes and your dress is really pretty too :)
It's fun to be over the top girly every once and while, but things are much more interesting if you switch 'em up a bit. Haha :)

Ahhh, Jason Wu. I missed both the launch of his collection and of the Missoni collection at Target, so I've been reduced to bidding on ebay.
