More Ruffles, More Polka Dots

Top - J. Crew / Shorts - J. Crew Factory / Bag - Target / Shoes (now available in a bunch of new colors!!) - BP / Earrings - BaubleBar

Let me tell you, when I bought this top, I really seriously considered sending it back. Not because it wasn't cute, but because I probably didn't need another off the shoulder top I couldn't wear a regular bra with! I mean, like I said on Tuesday, this one really is the best, but a girl can't go strapless every day! It's really a miracle that I'm wearing strapless bras at all these days, considering that after wearing one with my wedding dress for twelve hours straight it somehow managed to fuse to my body and I had big 3D welts for a week from peeling it off. TMI? Welp.

Anyway, I eventually realized that, obviously, this particular top has straps, so more obviously, I could wear a regular bra. Huzzah. I don't know why that took me so long to figure out. The straps do tend to slide around a little, so I usually put some fashion tape on them and run out the door.

What's this matter to you? Well I discovered this top is still available in a lot of sizes, and is currently on sale for less than $35 with code SHOPSALE. Yaaaasssss. And, even better, since it's in navy, it'll work into the fall too. Which is a sad thing to be thinking about at the moment, but I'm over shopping for bright colors right now and am only looking for pieces that I'll be able to wear for the next couple of months. I mean, we're in the second half of August now, so I guess I have to accept the fact that fall is coming. At least the cold weather will kill the bees that are currently hanging out on our balcony.

The one benefit of fall closing in though, is that Labor Day weekend is coming up! We took last year off because of a friend's wedding, but this year a bunch of us decided to rent a lake house for the weekend again! I'm super excited for boats and beers and burgers and bonfires and probably other things that start with a "b" but aren't "bees." Stupid bees.
