#PHOTOADAYJULY

Yes, this month I will make my second (and final) attempt to complete this challenge!



So, with that in mind, this is what happened so far this month:

July 1st - Self portrait

July 2nd - Busy (te he he)

I am looking forward to this evening and once I post today's photo you'll know why! 

I am also pumped for the 4th of July! Racine has this awesome parade that's miles long and goers start claiming their spots as early as 5am. Visit the Racine 4th Fest <- website to check it out! I hope to get a shot in my maxi dress from Target so I can review it for ya'all on my next post :)

Have a great Independence Day!!!

The ON Yellow Maxi Dress

First I'll start by stating the obvious. Yes, I have bailed on the #PHOTOADAYJUNE challenge. While not one for excuses by wedding weekend did distract me from my mission and I lost my motivation. Hopefully in the months to come I will revisit a photo a day month project :)

Now to the Old Navy yellow/white striped maxi dress that I wore for our gift opening the day after the wedding



As seen here the dress hits perfect, slightly pooling at my feet, allowing for no heeled shoes to be worn!

The dress has adjustable spaghetti straps and the bust fit true to size. This is surprising as ON dresses tend to run large in the busts of their dresses. 
The skirt of the dress was just loose enough to not create that potato sack look that us fatabulous girls know too well! If you carry a lot of your weight in your middle you shouldn't have a problem with it being too fitted. 
And, I didn't have to wear a slip or cami underneath it because the material wasn't too thin. 
It looks great with my three sisters and my new sister-in-law!

Striped-Jersey Maxi Dress - Old Navy
Willow Bay Plus Knit Cardigan - Shopko
Multi-colored Stone paired necklace - Unknown
Pearl plugs - Ark's Endeavors

This dress will be a staple in my wardrobe this summer. It can be dressed down with some flip-flops and a beach tote or up with some dressy sandals and a nice cardigan! It's a jersey dress so it doesn't have to be delicately laundered. And lastly, it's on SALE right now!

#PHOTOADAYJUNE8

Today is the day of my wedding ceremony rehearsal.
Around 6 o'clock the rehearsal was wrapping up.



With no opportunity to take photos this is one snapshot of the moment.

#PHOTOADAYJUNE5

I didn't have to venture too far out of my apartment or out-of-the-box for this sign.


But it was taken in a box....an elevator "box" :)
