The Brights Are Alright

To think that this dress kick started my blog a year ago. Yeah, that's right... this dress is a year old... and I love it.

Before I really figured out what I was doing as far as my blog, I used to take photos in my kitchen against a white wall. Nothing jazzy. But, I liked how the photo turned out, so I entered it into a Refinery 29 contest where reader's had to vote on the most "lady-like" outfit. And I won a $500 gift card, wearing this dress.

Outfit:

Dress - Forever 21

Neon Pink Kara Sandals - Delia*s $19.50!!!

Chain Link Necklace - Charming Charlie

Chunky Block Ring - Forever 21

From that point on, my interest for blogging grew. I was already working in fashion, too, so why not? And that's how my blog came to be!

Oh, but back to the present. I'm glad fashion is getting their stuff together and putting color first this year. Between the rainbow denim and loud color wheel that's been popping up - I'm one happy hipster.

Day 20: 30-Day No Shopping Challenge: Bangles For Your Buck

I'm 20 days in to my 30-Day No Shopping Challenge and I must admit, my online browsing has gone to an all-time high.

The amount of sites I'm hitting up daily is ridiculous. But, it does give me time to gather up some bargains for ya'll to indulge in - even if I can't just yet!

Personally, I think bangles are gunna make a big comeback. While we all enjoy a fabulous Arm Party (thank you, Man Repeller), and love mixing and matching designers and brands on our arms, sometimes, I like a little continuity. And buying bangles in bulk not only guarantees a uniform look, but it's crazy economical.

Scope out my picks for bangles that are under $40!
