Diary of a Debutante

Hey there! Have you ever come across a dress that just brings an instant smile to your face? Well, this yellow off-the-shoulder beauty does exactly that for me. Not only is it affordable, priced at just $25, but it also features a gorgeous cut and style that perfectly complements its vibrant color. And let me tell you, it's impossible for me not to grin when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror wearing this dress. Plus, it gave me the perfect excuse to indulge in a lemon print handbag. While I've always been a fan of pineapples, lemons have managed to capture my heart this year, thanks to Kate Spade and J.Crew. So, if you share my love for citrus, stay tuned for a roundup of gifts for lemon lovers!

A Lemon-Filled Delight

Scroll down to discover the affordable details of this "happy" outfit. And when I say affordable, I really mean it. As mentioned before, this stunning yellow off-the-shoulder cocktail dress can be yours for under $25. I can't forget to mention my go-to cat-eye sunglasses, which I adore so much that I own them in every available color, priced at a wallet-friendly $12. To complete the look, I paired it with a lemon print handbag that you can find at Kohl's for just $40. Oh, and these fabulous Italian leather wedges, originally priced at $95 but currently on sale, are worth every penny. Trust me, they look absolutely phenomenal with shorts, mini skirts, and dresses.

Happy Sunday, y'all! I'm excited to get back on track with my regular blogging schedule this week. For those who have been loyal readers, I apologize for the recent irregularity in my posts. Ever since Kyle and I moved back from Maine, our lives have been in constant limbo, making it challenging to establish routines. For instance, I'm still waiting to set up my office and closet, and I find myself rummaging through a storage room filled with boxes whenever I need an accessory or a photo prop. But fear not, depending on the outcome of a trip we're taking this week, all that is about to change. So, thank you for sticking by me during this time. Your support means the world to me!
