Forever 21* Cardigan, Swapped* Dress, Steve Madden* Flats
Let’s keep the swap talk going, shall we? :) I thought it would be appropriate to follow up my last post with an outfit post showing off an item that I swapped! During the ModSwap event last September, I snagged this pretty dress from Julie of Orchid Grey. I remember seeing the dress on the rack and thinking, “Oh my gosh, I love this dress! I hope this fits! Please fit, please fit!” I snatched up the dress immediately and raced into the bathroom to try it on, and lo and behold- it fit!
I think I feel best in a dress like this with a girly silhouette. With the lovely color combination of gray, pink, and purple and the pleated details on this dress, I just couldn’t help but feel pretty! :)

Since I’m apparently on a girly kick, check back later in the week for a very girly manicure! :)
Tell me: What’s your go-to silhouette or outfit when you want to feel your best?
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

Oh boy, I would have snatched that dress right up, too, if I’d seen it. I really like the color combinations. It’s very girly. Kind of makes me think of a cupcake or candy.
*I didn’t know you were in California until I read the subtext. Thought it must have been super warm up in New York!
