I love wearing dresses in the summer. It seriously cools me down 5 degrees. I bought this cute blue strappy dress from H&M for $10. I have been wearing this over a tee, which looked ok, but really hot (and I mean temperature wise), because the top of the dress is tight elastic and I’m wearing it over another shirt.
The other day, I thought I would wear this dress over my favorite Great Plain blouse, and I was soooooo hot, and thought I could not go through the day like this. So I pulled the blouse out of the dress, and buckled it with my skinny Banana Republic belt I just bought which I have blogged about here. And they looked so perfect together, checked it out. I love it, it’s so me.
Dress: H&M
Blouse: Great Plain
Belt: Banana Republic
Shoes: Target
The blouse has straps all through it, but light enough to compliment the prints on the dress. That skinny belt just tie everything together seamlessly. The best part is wearing them this way didn’t make me sweat all day.
I never really own any nice belts, out of the ten or fifteen belts that I did own, probably only one of them was leather and good quality. It’s not that I don’t prefer nice ones, but because my budge is under $20 for each belt, and I want one of each kind to go with different outfits.
Luckily since I was pregnant, the desire of wearing a belt has been very low, and it continued until not long ago when I saw that fold over belt look I blogged about here. I realize how outdated my belt collection is, and decided that I’m just going to put them away somewhere till they are back in fashion again.
So I was on the hunt for cute belts, and that’s when I bumped into the Banana Republic’s buy two sales items and get one for free sale, and they happen to have a ton of cute belts on sale. This is not a 30% off sale, nor 50% off sale. Let’s say that I paid 12% of what it would have cost retail. Each belt was $49 originally, and I paid for $7.99 + $8.99 for two of them and got the other one for free.
Can you beat that? Three belts; two leather, and one elastic with leather parts; different shades of brown, and countless potential. All for 18 bucks. This has to be my best bargain buy for the last few months. Love it!
So far, I have utilized two of them in my outfits. I have pictures, but that will have to be another post. I can’t wait till the cooler weather rolls in, so I can “belt up” my outfits everyday.
Do you guys love cute and affordable jewelry? I know I do. Every time I go back to China to visit, I couldn’t stop shopping for jewelry. I seriously spent all day in a jewelry mall (a huge building that is dedicated to selling jewelry). They add so much to your outfit, and make your personality shine.
Now I know I don’t have to go to China to shop from an extensive selection jewelry that is very affordable. I can just go to alltherageonline.com. There are seriously so much to choose from. From the best to the latest, you can sure find a bunch of stuff you LOVE.

If you have been reading my posts, you probably know that I wanted a maxi dress so bad. Well, it took me a LONG time to find one I love, but I did find it.
Of course, I found this gorgeous dress in Nordstrom Rack, my favorite store. It was under $30, very well priced. I wear it with a white v-neck tee and Target T-strep sandals ($20), super cute.
I love this long dress, it’s so romantic and summery.
Don’t you love the first picture, the setting could be perfect for a wedding gown. Who has a wedding for me to shoot?
