This was my very first time wearing ankle boots with a maxi dress. I know. Such an exciting life milestone. I really wanted a springy Sunday Funday outfit to wear to brunch and to the new beer garden at the art museum’s greenhouse. But I also knew it wasn’t going to be that warm, plus all my wedges are still in storage. I wasn’t sure how it would look, but I think it’s pretty cute! Flowy with chunky – who knew? Well, the other woman I saw at brunch who was wearing almost this identical outfit. She knew. She will take over my blog starting tomorrow.

Speaking of firsts, you’d think Sunday was my first time being out in the sun, because later that night I discovered I was sunburnt on just the bottom three inches of my forearms. Super sexy.

So what did we learn today? Ankle boots can look good with long skirts, and I am completely inept at life.

You know what happens when a cheap store does a collaboration with a famous designer? People wait in line at dawn or set an alarm to shop online in the middle of the night, and they buy a bunch of stuff without thinking because they’re afraid everything will sell out. #buyallofthethings

That’s exactly what happened with the Phillip Lim for Target line last fall. Remember the obsession over the bags? Oh man. Anyway, I was one of those people waiting in line at Target, and that’s when I got this dress that is in no way a closet staple. BUT. Can I just point out that I have now worn it in 3 different seasons?

Take that, impulse buying! If I can make it work for fall, I’ll take that as a sign that everything I ever want to buy is a good decision.
