| Dress: TJ Maxx | Shoes: Forever 21 | Belt: Thrifted | Bracelets: Forever 21 and Lily & Lauren |
I recently picked up this $20 dress at TJ Maxx the same day I found the lace shorts that debuted here last Friday. I was planning on wearing this outfit to a wedding shower we went to on Saturday, but changed my mind at the last minute.
This isn't unusual times for me. I will admit to being "that girl" who changes clothes at least 3 times before settling on a final decision.
You can call it vain. I prefer to call it being "SELECTIVE".
I thought this might be a little too dressy for an outdoor wedding shower being held smack dab in the middle of a Texas heat wave. I am happy to report that being "selective" has its perks. I would have been slightly over dressed and wouldn't have excelled at the friendly little game of corn hole played that evening. Tossing bean bags in wedges and a shorter than normal dress would not have been a good mix.
So, I will save this new purchase for another day and another time. I am sure I will get my $20 use out of it one day soon.
Tell me that I am not the only "selective" girl out there. Does it look like a hurricane came through your bedroom when you get ready for an event? Or is your room similar to mine and resemble hurricane alley on DAILY basis? If not, can you at least humor me?
Cheers to not settling until it feels right.

Love the dress! Great find!
Oh my goodness - I change my outfit at least 3-5 times before going out on the weekends! So you're not alone girl. And you look SO pretty in that dress - love the pattern & the red accessories :)

love this dress!!
and yes, I have a slight problem with picking out something to wear and most days I try on 10 outfits before I am ready. Glad I am not the only one.

Super cute dress! I wish my TJ Maxx had it!
I love love love LOVE this dress and wish our TJ Maxx carried clothes this cute. Our store seems to have more home stuff (which isn't a bad thing either) than clothing. Anyways cute dress and I love how you paired it with red. Also I was browsing your outfits (not like a creepy stalker person) to get inspired for my vacation packing and I also adore the Muu Muu dress you posted about. Very cute! I love long dresses and they are super easy to wear and comfy.
Have a great day!
I do the same thing with changing my clothes a million times before I can get the right outfit! The dress is adorable and I'm sure you'll find the right event to wear it again soon :)

this happens almost every. single. day. I actually have to lay out a couple outfits the night before when I'm teaching otherwise I'd be late all the time!

that dress is SOO cute and with the belt! I love it!!
Oh, I am definitely "selective", and it ALWAYS looks like a hurricane came through my room prior to an event. But you're right - it pays off! On another note, I am in LOVE with that dress! So so so cute. And the $20 pricetag makes it even better!
Adorable! TJ Maxx is either hit or miss...I sure LOVE it when it's a hit!! :)
It's ok, sometimes I change my outfit several times just before work in the morning! haha
Cute dress! :)
I am definitely selective :) You look adorable!

this outfit is so cute. i cannot believe you scored that dress at tjmaxx, i never see anything that cute there! and i love those wedges! x
ohmygad, you couldn't have described my room more perfectly- every damn day, a hurricane! Lol
Cheers to not stoppin' till it's 'Just Right'!
Cute dress, loving the one shoulder! You're definitely not the only one who changes their clothes a million times before deciding on an outfit, I do the same thing:)
Love a good red white and blue outfit! You look great love!
xoxo, Emily
Oh don't worry, you're not the only one! It takes me forever to pick out outfits, especially for special occasions, and everything is just thrown onto the bed. It's gotten to the point where my husband says to me 'why don't you start thinking about your outfit for tomorrow'.
You look so beautiful in this dress, I just love it on you!

Wowzers!!! You are one hot mama. Love this dress! And yes, I am very "selective" as well!
okay shanna you are seriously GORGEOUS! wowzers! LOVE this!! and yeah... i'm what you would call SELECTIVE.
Love this dress! I hate not feeling "quite right" when I wear something (or the worst is when you go ahead and wear it and all day hating your outfit!) I like to make an impression but not stand out and feel silly! :)

Your style is adorable! So glad to find a mommy/fashion blogger that I can relate to...found you on the blog hop!
Love this dress!! And, YES, you should see my room getting ready for an event! I have the day after regret, when I have to hang everything back up...

You always look so stinkin' cute and put together. Half the time I look like a hot mess!
Oh, yes! I'm selective too. Ha, sometimes I even change two or three times before work. lol
I love the colors here! It's very Americana without being too patriotic looking. You're so cute!
I am picky too... but since I know myself, the hurricane usually comes through on Sunday... I pick out all my outfits, then put the rejects back in the closet! You look lovely!

I know I've told you this before, but blue is totally your color, and I love your bright lips! I, too, and "selective" and my husband hates it! I always ask him his opinion and then usually choose whichever one he doesn't pick... not on purpose... but because I think secretly I already have my mind made up. haha Oh well :)
Selective is a great word! I think that you should host a makeover contest and I should win.
I have to try on 3 or 4 outfits before I leave the house most of the time! You're definitely not the only one! This dress is adorable, I'm sure you will get some great uses out of it!
You look gorgeous! What a fun, bright outfit :) That lip color is perfect with the outfit too!
Love this color combo! The scenery is SO pretty and that's so cute how there are S's on that gate!
Love the dress and Your loip color! GORGE! And our room always looks like a tornado because I have acloset, dresser and armoire spread through out and the mirror is on the other side of the room...it's not laid out well.. So I tend to leave a trail. We're all the same :)
So I guess since you own this here blog you can do what you want. i'll let ya. This looks amazing by the way.
I'm back!!!
Please book your flight ASAP and please bring half your wardrobe. K, thanks!
girl, that dress is so awesome! i had totally forgotten how amazing tj maxx is. i went this weekend and got a dress and a skirt for $15 each. AND they had essie nail polish for $4! success!!
Um you are super cute! LOVING that dress. TJMaxx is the absolute best. It's my go to for dresses, especially. Want to come to Atlanta and shop for me? K, thanks ;)
Lovely! Good thing you have a sense about what to wear to these things, I hate feeling over/under dressed! PS I LOVE cornhole:)

I'm lucky if I can get away with trying on 8 different outfits on some days. Being "selective" does get pretty annoying sometimes, you have to admit!
I love how you added red accessories to this cute dress! What a great bargain!
I love this dress! Seriously, how do you find all of these great deals??
You look adorable and yes, my room is a total hurricane on a daily basis! I will clean one day and the next day...disaster (all clothes)!
I feel ya sister!

Love the touches of red you added! And I am exactly the same way!! I also always save my "good" clothes for important times. It's so dumb because really I'm never going anywhere that important. I love how you call it being selective. I wish I could put on one outfit & be good...instead my room looks like a hurricane haha! Xoxo Kelly
I have a corner in my room where I throw all the not chosen outfits. Getting ready is like one of those 80's movie fashion montages. I come out in 4 different outfits and twirl around.

$20 dresses are the best. My room looks like a tornado went through my closet on a pretty regular basis. I have to have a chair in my bedroom for no reason other than throwing clothes that need to be put away in it:)
My closet, room, and all of the above look like several hurricanes have hit on a daily basis. But you best believe that when I step out of the house, I feel like I'm at my best. I'll take care of the mess later! This color combo is to die for-so bright and fun!
