Gamiss Cat Purse (& link up!)

Sometimes you just have to let your crazy cat lady flag fly.  I don't like to lie to people.  And you can lie by omission.  I figured that carrying this cat purse from Gamiss, I was putting everyone on sufficient notice that I am a crazy cat lady.
I love this little purse and all it's little details.  It's a great cross body, but also has the shorter strap for what I like to call a more adorable carrying position.  And...even the closure is shaped like a cat!

Rosegal Off the Shoulder Top

I (like the rest of the blogger world) am totally into off the shoulder tops this summer.  However, I am not into the slipping and sliding that they all tend to do.  Having to constantly adjust your shirt kind of takes away from the elegance and ease of such a garment.  Rosegal's off the shoulder top fixes that problem.  It stays in place, even despite some summer sweats.  The top and sleeves are semi-separate and only connected with a small piece of fabric.  Therefore, the bust of the top isn't always moving with your arms.  And the fabric is light weight and swingy, making it the perfect centerpiece to a casual summer outfit.

Rosegal has a ton more summer options too!  Follow them on Facebook and Instagram to check out all the options!

Look What I Got: Just Fab

I own quite a few pairs of shoes from Just Fab, but now I have started amassing a pile of clothing from Just Fab.  It's pretty dangerous.  It's not really dangerous for your budget, because most items are between $24 and $50, it's mostly dangerous for my closet space.

My Little Pony Dress

I guess I could have named this post a little ore creatively.  But, when you're wearing a dress teeming with childhood nostalgia, I don't think a creative title is needed.

I wore this dress for a late summer stroll along the boardwalk.  I received so many compliments from strangers...of all ages!  My Little Pony unites us all.
I remember watching My Little Pony over breakfast before leaving for kindergarten.  My fav pony was Glory...she's pretty much the OG.  I like to keep it old school with my pony references.

One Last Shot of Summer

  

I crammed all of summer into this picture.  Lilly, lighthouses, bright colors, and boats. Although this post is called "One Last Shot of Summer," I will be savoring the season for almost another month.  It'll stay oppressively hot here in New Jersey for a little while longer.  I will just try and fill the blog with some transition-y outfits instead of summer-in-your-face outfits.

Look What I Got: Lemon Party Dress

I felt the need to quote Liz Lemon endlessly while wearing this dress.  Well, most days I feel the need to quote Liz Lemon because sometimes the only person that "gets" you is a fictional television character.

Summer Crop Top and the Cutest Print EVER

I feel like I mastered the art of wearing a crop top...like a boss!  Well, I mastered it if your goal of wearing a crop top is to not show any mid-drift at all.  I do like that if you wear a crop top with a high-waisted skirt you don't have to worry about adjusting your tucked in shirt every time you move your arms.

I went back and searched my blog to make sure I have not made this claim before (and it's amazing that I have not), but this skirt has the cutest print ever.  I mean...c'mon...little tiny sunbathers?
