Simplicity

striped dress, brown and gold accents
Old Navy brown and yellow sandals
striped dress, brown and gold accents

Francesca's Dress, $16 (similar)
Belt c/o Daily Charms
Old Navy Sandals, $6 after $15 gift card (same sandal, different colors)
Francesca's Earrings, $10 (similar)

Guess what? I finally got around to putting a lining in the top of this dress. Now I can wear it without having to worry about wearing another layer either under or over it to cover my undergarments. Hooray! I decided to style my new and improved dress very simply for a trip to the library. There are something like 10 or 12 branches of our district library here...all of which we now have access to with our fancy new library cards. I'm super excited to be able to do more reading this summer..for free!! A big thing that prevents me from trying out new books is the cost. Although having a kindle does make things cheaper, costs still add up fast. And since we are cheap, cheap, cheap, it makes me really happy to be able to save money this way.

Hope your week has been wonderful so far!

    I need to go get a library card. We have two library branches within walking distance from our house so it would make sense to have one...

    I love the belt you're wearing. I headed over to Daily Charms to check it out and there you were in their website header!

      Thanks! Haha, yes. :-) Kind of weird to see my face on a website that's not mine!

    Great outfit! Love the accessories. I have just found out that my local library was built using a donation from Carnegie of Carnegie Hall fame. Apparently he donated to libraries all over the world. Libraries are fantastic places. I think quite a few in the UK even lend e - books. Can you borrow e books?

      Thanks Emma! That's cool! I think there is a small selection of e-books you can borrow from our library. I'll have to give it a try sometime.
