    I think you and I are on the same dress wave length ;) I bought and blogged about that dress from the Gap. I LOVE it and have gotten so many compliments on it. It’s also super comfy.

    I can’t wait to see what you come up with for the WHITE outfit. I’m totally stressing about what to wear that night!

      I just posted a bunch of options today! I’m wearing a sheer white top (on the casual side), a white pencil skirt I’ve had for nearly a decade, and a white statement necklace.

    I absolutely love that pink bag – so cute and functional. I can’t wait to hear the reports back from Alt Summit. Maybe I’ll be able to go next year I hope.
