Sweet Summertime: OOTD

For this month's final Thursday theme I wanted to share a summer outfit of the day with you all. I went downtown and had Panera for dinner and this is what I was wearing. My camera died as we tried to take the first picture, so these were actually taken with my iPhone. I love that thing! I think the quality is pretty dang good.

I threw on a bright dress & a denim shirt over top, and both items are from Target. It cools off ever so slightly in the evenings, so I can get away with the shirt. Bonus: it comes in handy for chilly restaurants.

I'm very proud of this purse. It was on clearance at Urban Outfitters and there was a 50% off sale going on so I got a $60 purse for only $10. Steal. The color looks different in every light; sometimes it's coral, sometimes orange, or just hot pink. I've been carrying it around all summer and I love it. 

My flip flops are Rainbows that I bought several years ago in a store called Journeys. Not the most stylish shoes, but they are super comfy and go with just about everything.

I've got some fun stuff planned for upcoming Thursday Themes! Until then go check out this month's other Sweet Summertime posts: a yummy smoothie recipe, a look inside my beach bag, & my dream vacation.

Sandals, Sundresses, and Lip Salves

Continuing with the Thursday themes (you can check out my last ones here and here), today I wanted to share my beauty and fashion favorites with you all. I learned one of two things while making this post. 1. The majority of my closet is from Target and 2. I am terrible at posing. With that being said, lets hope I expand my wardrobe and take a few lessons on posing. I'll get there... hopefully.

{Aviators}

I have a huge head, and a big nose, so it's hard to find glasses that look good on me. I've found that aviators suit me well. I got these for $10 at a beach store, but here is a similar pair from UO.

{Wonderstruck & Daisy Perfumes}

I love both of the Wonderstruck perfumes, but I only have a few uses left on the original and I decided to leave it at home. Before I bought this roller ball of Daisy I would douse myself in samples at all the department stores. So good.

{Sundresses}

These are always going to be a staple in my wardrobe. They're so effortless and comfortable; I just can't get enough. The three of these are all from Target, of course. I know for sure that the polka dot one is still available here.

{Rose Salve}

I've tried 3 different kinds of lip salves, and C.O. Bigelow's is by far my favorite. The strawberry one is included in here too because I do like it as well (mostly because it smells like a strawberry smoothie).

{Sandals}

You can never have too many pairs of sandals. The two on the outside are from Target and I got my Rainbows at a random store in the mall. Sorry for their appearance, but they've held up pretty well over the years!

{CG Mascaras} 

CoverGirl mascaras are some of the best that I've ever tried. These two have definitely become my favorites. I do like a more natural makeup look, and these are perfect for that.

{Jeggings}

I apologize for my awkward posing, but I had to share my love for jeggings. They're so comfy! It's like wearing pajamas, but you don't look like a crazy person. I got these from Target, along with a black pair.

{Eyeshadows}

Last but not least, the eyeshadows. I absolutely love these: the Naked palette, the CoverGirl Shimmering Sands trio, and the L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadow in Amber Rush. I feel like these products have gotten a lot of love here on the interwebs, but I can see why.

Let me know what some of your favorites are! I'd really love to try them out.
