OOTD #4: A Walk in the Park

TWO THINGS. (1) Without a doubt, dresses are my go-to outfit of choice. Wake up in the morning (presumably feeling like P-Diddy), slap on a dress, and run out the door. Florals are especially amazing because they make outfits look almost excessively more put together than they actually are *case in point... ME* (2) I've been going on a lot of walks in the past couple months - to clear my mind, to talk, to unwind. 

This outfit combines two of the things I've been loving lately - one of my favourite floral dresses ... and my first time at Victoria Park in Kitchener, Ontario with someone special. :) 

OUTFIT

< dress > band of gypsies @ urban outfitters 

< shoes > topshop

< necklace > born pretty store* (here, 10% off with the code UAUT10)

MAKEUP

< face > make up for ever mat velvet plus foundation // 35 vanilla 

< eyes > shu uemura lasting gel pencil eyeliner* // black brown

< lips > soap and glory sexy mother pucker gloss crayon* // fuchsia-ristic

A little bit of a tangent but I want to draw your attention to the necklace that I'm wearing. As aforementioned, it's from Born Pretty Store and it costs a whopping $3.97 + free shipping. It came to me in the mail with a FOREVER 21 tag on it. So basically, you can purchase FOREVER 21 quality jewelry for 70% of the price on Born Pretty Store. The geometric circle, triangle, rectangle thing really works for me and the gold-coloured metal of the necklace isn't too yellowy. It's simple enough that it can be paired with a patterned dress or add a bit of life to a plain white tee. 

Anyways, looks like summer time is coming to an end. *back to school* is in three weeks and soon enough I'll have to shove all my beloved floral dresses into the closet and bust out my parka. 

What's your go-to summer outfit?
