Ooh two posts in one day- aren't you lucky ;)

I'll admit that I'm a stress shopper. It makes me sound very materialistic and a little vain but if I can afford it, I'll do it for now. Plus I picked up some things for other people so I feel a little better about it haha

 Floral dress- Forever21, Nude braid strap tank & grey marled tank- Sidecca, Quilted black bag & scarf- Francesca's

So at the risk of making someone jealous, I have to talk about this dress! I saw this a few months ago in Forever21 when I was shopping with my mom and thought it was the cutest thing. Then I made the mistake of asking my mom what she thought of it, to which I got the wrinkled-nose-'I dunno' response haha. Normally I don't care what people think of the things I buy, because I wear what I want. From what I remember though, I was exchanging two dresses that I had ordered online and wasn't falling in love with anything that day so I took a store credit/giftcard and decided to think it over. It's been there every time I've gone back since, but I wasn't sold until I was laying in bed Monday night thinking of my summer shopping list and outfits I wanted to wear. A floral dress was at the top of the list, but it had to be fitted with a vintage feel so of course this popped up in my head. I love the look of floaty dresses but they aren't flattering on my body so I lean towards the body-hugging category. Love those curves if you have 'em! This dress also doubles as a skirt- I try to make my clothes pull double duty so this dress will definitely be worn as a skirt, under a relaxed tea and belt.

 MAC products: Satin Taupe/Mythology e/s, Ladyblush, Shell cream colour base, Plink! and Kinda Sexy l/s
Pacifica Indian Coconut Fragrance Set- The three products on the right were my 500 point gift from Sephora! This is my favorite scent, possibly ever, but Sephora hasn't had the perfume in stock for the past few months.. then I got to the counter and saw this on display. I've never been happier that I spend so much at Sephora and had more than enough points for it.
