I think a break from shopping will be good for me, because while there will always be new things to want, I don't actually need anything. This summer I will be wearing a ton of white, and it is very well represented in my current wardrobe. I want to pare things down, clean out my closet again, and just embrace a simple summer style, with lots and lots of white.

Love this outfit! And yes, I need to try not to shop this month, but not for clothes - for everything else. Since I'm doing the french wardrobe thing I keep saying to myself 'well, since i can't buy clothes, I may as well by xxx" haha...

This is such a pretty lace dress and I love the studded bag. I hear you when you say you just want to pare things down and clean out the closet. That's exactly how I feel right now.

A shopping break can be fun, especially when you start shopping your closet and finding those unexpected hidden gems. :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely dress and I love the accessories. Happy Monday!

That lace dress is so pretty! I love it paired with the military jacket to toughen it up. Seems a lot of bloggers are doing a shopping ban this summer...good luck with it!

What a gorgeous dress. I love anything lace and the white color is perfect for summer.
ReplyDeleteSmart woman, I need a shopping break myself. I love white so easy and chic perfect for the summer months. Beautiful dress.
ReplyDeleteWhite lace is such a perfect summer look! I love it almost as much as seersucker!! Good luck on the shopping break... I've been on one too until I've styled my wardrobe all the ways that I can sigh... it's been hard but good!!

Beautiful dress, Lyddie and I love the casual styling, it brings out the beautiful laces even more!
ReplyDeleteI haven't shopped much recently as I went through my existing wardrobe and pieces which didn't fit me anylonger but now I can wear them again. Great to show new combinations on the blog as we can't always afford new things.

I've been on a shopping break for the last month and am actually really enjoying it - I find it helps me get some critical distance from my closet and evaluate my actual needs better.

Super look, love everything my dear, pretty.

Thanks for your comment.

See you soon

Swoon, I love that dress and happy June, lovely! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI have a white lace dress, but it is nothing like this beauty! Love the detail! And that cargo jacket is such a perfect way to dress it down!
ReplyDeleteI think a shopping break does us all well! Isn't it crazy when your wardrobe gets to that point where you really don't need... anything?! lol. I go weeks without wearing the same thing (maybe months... eww). It's a sickening lovely obsession! Adoring this dress! & Olive is stunning on you.

I agree with you! I break from shopping can be great, and I am currently in one. It also helps me wear items that sit in my closet without being worn. I love this white, laced dress, beautiful.

Pairing down can be refreshing. I'm wishing you luck on the job front! Looooove this dress!
ReplyDeleteI loved this post :) you and I are on the same Summer wavelength! Lots of white and softer neutrals. Last summer I was all about color. This year I'm more into simplicity and clean lines. I love this dress! It's beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing lots of white this summer too! I also just decided to do a spending ban this month. I've been having lots of fun these past few weeks, but spending a bit too much money- woops!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful lace dress that usually cost a small fortune, you are so lucky to find it at TJM. You wear it so very well. Enjoy your Summer!
ReplyDeleteI love the combo here: a dressy dress and a laid back shell and of course that great bag.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling the BF took these ;)
I am excited to know you'll be doing some closet cleaning.
gorgeous find! i could use a great white dress for summer. that and an awesome white handbag (sadly had to return my rebecca because it was so heavy and the strap didn't have a leather part by my shoulder... ouch). Adore this together. I did just get the utility jacket, too! :)

This dress! Where do I even begin? It's perfect. I will be joining you on shopping break this month - or at the very least I have good intentions to. Somehow, despite the fact that I don't shop much, I always seem to have clothes waiting to be worn and it's time to deal with that before acquiring anything else new. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your summer white ensembles. And your new bag!
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
Good luck! I'm not shopping this month either, we can support each other! This lovely dress is just so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI loved the dress and you look amazing with this look! The glasses are my favorite piece, to be honest. I want one now! haha Loved it, such a beautiful look! <3 Love xx

Yes to not shopping!! Yes to June and the beginning of Summer!! Yes to White!! Yes to Little White Dresses!! Yours is quite delightful speaking of LWDs and I love how you wore it. I need to re-create it, since I also own a Lace White Dress.
ReplyDeleteHappy June Lydia!! May it be FANTASTIC for you!!
<3 Ada.
I'm taking a shopping break too. I hope you find a job soon!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is perfect for this time of year!!!!

June's a lovely month indeed, it is! I'm sure you'll find a job soon enough. The instant you get comfortable without one, one will pop up, right? That's usually how the universe works. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning in that dress, and I love the olive green with it! Pretty laaaaady!
This dress is stunning on you...I love the unexpected pairing with the utility jacket!

Good for you for taking a shopping break and embracing lots of white. You look especially lovely in the second shot and it is certainly your color!
