Floral Peplum + Need White Heels

I got this insanely cute floral peplum dress at Forever 21 a while back and it has been patiently waiting its chance to shine and today was the day. The sun was warm, there was a gentle breeze, and hardly any clouds in the sky; such a beautiful Spring day that I just had to wear this dress. The pattern reminded me of the 1990s and the peplum did a fabulous job of camouflaging my tummy while showing off my curves. BUT there's one thing I forgot when I put on the dress, I had absolutely no shoes that match!! The dress clearly needs white heels so I'm on a hunt for a pair. Until then, these pink sandals did the job, poorly, but I wasn't about to go barefoot in the grass with nasty bugs crawling between my toes, no thanks.

So besides the need for hot white heels, isn't the dress just cute or what?

Now I need your help! In the comment section, tell me which heel works BEST with the dress. It would be of a huge help to get all of your opinions.

Chic, Cute, and Cheap - Summer Edition

Thanks for your patience, I know I announced this post on Monday and it's now Friday, my bad! I began the Chic, Cute, and Cheap series for the spring season and I really enjoyed finding easy to find fashion items for a price of $25 or less. With summer in full bloom, I think it's about time that Chic, Cute, and Cheap focus on the hottest months and how we gals can find affordable, classic yet trendy pieces. I focused more on color, fun patterns, and light fabric. I hope you'll find some wallet friendly inspiration.

What To Wear - Summer In The Office

Summer is sooo close I can smell it. Sadly for many of us we don't get three months off to frolick in the sun (one of the BEST things about being a student!). For us office drones we still must punch the clock and endure either the really hot and stuffy or the freezing AC-is-on-too-high work space. I want to share with you what I recommed as stylish, trendy, and comfortable summer work appropriate outfits.

 As a reminder Summer 2012's trends include: neon, pastel, florals, peplum, and bold jewerly


Here are outfits from ASOS Fashion Finder that I thought were just perfect for summertime working gals.

Peplum Is Back

Peplum is the vintage comeback kid of 2012! The feminine silhoutte was featured in many Spring/Summer/Fall 2012 fashion shows (Jason Wu, Givenchy, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, and more) and is making its way to a store near you. I think it's a wonderful style since it helps pull in the waist and excentuates the hips. Women of all shapes and sizes can pull off the peplum look because it flatters the right curves and hides the unwanted. If you wear it right, meaning well fitted, correct amout of fabric and right placement of the peplum, you'll look like a million bucks. However, if you wear a peplum silhoutte that's ill-fitted, too heavy in fabric, or the peplum is oddly placed, it's a no-no.
