Psychedelic Soul

For me, summer is the perfect excuse to wear bright colors and loud prints. 

Since I've been on this geometric kick, there was no way I could pass up this amazing geo-print dress from Shop Sosie. It's got a smack of vibrant color and a whole lot of  trippy, psychedelic goodness. Plus, this was one way to absolutely break my habit of buying black dresses. Don't get me wrong - nothing looks as polished and edgy as black, but even for someone like me, who loves to wear black... I need to liven things up. The accessories are one thing, but black shoes absolutely did not work with this dress... and I'm glad since I could wear these Sole Society shoes with the dress!

Later this week, I'll be taking a road trip down the Jersey Shore to Atlantic City for July 4th Weekend. And I can not wait! The slots, the beach, the people watching... I'm so excited for a mini summer getaway. 

Now, onto the planning of outfits for the weekend!

Lilac Road

I wasn't kidding when I said that I love Kate Spade. Case in point, meet my fourth
 Kate Spade New York bag: the Lilac Road Palm Springs. 

(See my first Kate Spade bag styled here... in case you were wondering).

She is beautiful. She is purple. And those scallops are so stinking cute, you just want to pinch her cheeks and squeal. Or something like that... 

Ironically, I had this outfit on when I bought the bag over Memorial Day Weekend during a huge sale. I'm still in shock at how much I saved buying it. I've been wanting a smaller bag that I can just throw my stuff in and go, and this one is the perfect size. Plus, it's got that British satchel vibe to it that is sorta Twiggy-esque. 

Oh, and it's been confirmed: I will be living in crop tops this summer. Get used to it. 

This daisy lace top was definitely an outside-the-box choice for me since I don't anything off white, yet, it reminded me of a pretty doily. But it's a nice chance of pace from my standard black top uniform I seem to favor so much. See, I do try new things!

And in case you were wondering, there's no skating at the park today. Tomorrow? Maybe. 

File this under random things I find while taking outfit photos in parks.
