a few of summer's last color splashes


I thought I'd do one last hoo-rah for the summer wardrobe with this post. {Though I promise you, my summer wardrobe is not even close to being put away! haha} Just this week I realized that other than a few fashion related DIY/Upcycle tutorials & a quick post about my altered cocktail dress-- I somehow completely skipped over fashion blogging this summer! I'm really bummed about that because there were so many fun summer related fashion posts that I was itching to put together... but they just slipped my mind!

It just so happened that Ellyn and I completely coordinated colors {and I love our contrasting patterns} as we dressed to go out this evening. {A friend of mama's invited us to go with her to a dinner theater to see Singin' in the Rain!!! Such a treat for both of us! It was so well done too:)} Both of our dresses tend to be statement pieces in and of themselves so we just threw on a few accessories, some shoes & cardigans for the cool theater and they were good to go!





Hers: dress- thrifted/ Target | skirt- thrifted/ Willi Smith | cardigan- Burlington Coat Factory |
  shoes- thrifted/ Mudd | necklace- gift






Mine: dress: gift/ Ruche | cardigan: gift/ Delia's | shoes: Ellyn's/ Target |

    I did love how you and Ellyn color coordinated, unplanned.
