Wardrobe Newbies: Dress, Flip Flops, Purse

I threw this on to run to Value Village to make a donation obtained from my ongoing closet cleanout...and so of  course I HAD to go in...since I was there and all.... 
I had some things in my cart to try on, then I ran through the purses and found a cute salmon pink purse (Nordstrom) that went perfectly with one of the tops I had.  Well, the top ended up not looking right once I tried it on, so I on my way out I decided to run down the dresses aisle.  I never wear dresses, but found a cute summer dress from H&M (new with the tags still on) and it had the same salmon pink color as the purse in it...so I had to have it.  I'd also found (earlier in the shopping trip) a gray/black sort of dull metallic w/ gemstones pair of flip flops (Merona) that will go with the dress.  I love when whole outfits come together like that.  The dress is sleeveless and, since we don't have many super warm days here, I found 2 cardigans that I already own that will match really well.  One is a melony salmon color and the other is light gray.  Exciiiited!! :) 


Can't wait to wear this when our temps rise back up again.

    1. It matched the purse I wanted to buy. haha I went through a period when I wore mostly skirts, but ended that 2-3 years ago. I still wore a skirt on occasion, but rarely a dress. This one just caught my eye, is so lightwieght, and will be comfortable and casual with the flip flops or I can wear heeled sandals too if I wish. PLUS, once I got it home I realized it was a size medium and almost a little big!!! Bonus! ha It mush run reeeeeally big. lol

  6. Yay! A successful hunt! You look great in salmon so I'm sure the new dress, bag, etc. will work beautifully. It's fun to read your account of the trip.
