Green Cardigan: Nordstrom LOVE this new cardigan! The green color is so much fun and perfect for fall. I am wearing an XS, wishing I would have sized down to a XXS because this sweater does run a little large. Comes in 6 beautiful colors and totally worth the price!

Black and White Summer Nights

The $20 dress every girl needs for summer!

Swing Dress: Target (A simple black and white dress with the prettiest ruffled sleeves. This dress is easily dressed up or down and cots less than $20!! What a steal, seriously! ) Peep Toe Booties: I purchased these booties in the fall last year from Nordstrom Rack, however they have sold out so I have a tagged three similar styles here, here and here. (I love these black booties, they are my fist pair of peep toe booties and I can’t wait to buy more. So comfortable and stylish for all seasons, well except winter in the north!)

I love Sundays, they are so relaxing and peaceful. Today, we didn’t do very much, it has been cloudy and rainy all day, my favorite excuse to just stay inside and hang out. We are constantly so busy that it is nice to just stay in all day and watch tv. Although, I am a little sad because our pool is finally open and I haven’t even been able to go in it because the weather has been chilly and our pool is freezing cold!! I often wonder if Shane and I will live in Ohio our whole lives? I’d really like to move down south but it would be so hard to leave our families. I have some friends who have packed up and moved away and they love it. Maybe someday we’ll get the itch to leave! My husband always says he’ll miss having all four seasons, not me, I could definitely live without the snow. Haha!

Anyway, enough with my random thoughts. Today’s post is all about the cutest $20 dress that ever girl needs! This adorable black and white striped t-shirt dress is from Target. My sister wore this dress over last night and I couldn’t believe how cute it was so of course I had to run Target first thing this morning to buy it. I absolutely love the adorable ruffled sleeves. The dress does come in a few different colors options which are all easily dressed up or down. I paired it with a gorgeous pair of black peep toe booties from Nordstrom Rack. The booties have sold out but if you look above I tagged three similar styles all under $60! If you are looking for a simple dress that you can wear all summer than look no further!

Classy Swing Dress

You can’t go wrong with a classy swing dress paired with the perfect blouse. A black and white combo that will never go out of style.

Swing Dress: Unavailable, similar style here (I love a good swing dress and this one is currently on sale for less than $22!) | Portofino Shirt: Express (So classy and cute, I love these shirts for work.) | Heels: JCPenny ( Simple, comfy, and cute, can’t go wrong there!) |Bracelets: Alex and Ani (I am obsessed with the Alex and Ani bracelets, I wear them almost every single day. They go with everything and are so much fun!!)

Wow, this post is coming at you guys late in the day! Sorry, ya’ll it has been a busy Sunday fun day with the family. My husband let me sleep in this morning (thank goodness because I was exhausted), then we went out for lunch and for a nice long walk at one of the prettiest nature trails in our home town. It has been a really great day enjoying this gorgeous weather. Ohio is still so warm, which is extremely unusual for October, so we have been spending as much time outside enjoying the heat as we can because we know it will be gone too soon.

The swing dress and shirt combo I am wearing above is super cute and flattering! I love finding new ways to layer my wardrobe and when I paired these two pieces together I was in LOVE! You can not go wrong with a classy black and white look. Swing dresses are seriously the best, so flattering and soft. Also, the Alex and Ani website I tagged is sooooo addicting. If you haven’t already purchased some of their bracelets then you need to check them out! Seriously, I wear a different combination of mine almost every single day. Hope you all had such a great weekend! Next post will be up on Wednesday.
