The calendar says fall but the weather screams summer. Until the weather and calendar come to an agreement on what the season should be I'll be over here continuing to sport every brightly neon colored clothing item!

Happy Friday friends!
Even though we're almost a month into "fall" I can't help but continue to break out my bright Lilly dresses because of the 80-degree weather we've been having here in the Carolinas. It's pretty much the same deal every year, the second September rolls around everyone is ready to break out all of their chunky knits and consume every pumpkin treat imaginable despite the summer-like weather outside.
I've grown up in NC almost all of my life and I know that fall doesn't really make an appearance until maybe late October / early November. So until then, you can pretty much spot me a mile away with my brightly colored Lilly printed outfits in a sea of maroons and army greens.
I had shared a little bit ago that I had the pleasure of collaborating with Uptown Cheapskate on a post sharing how far $100 can go secondhand shopping. One of the goodies I managed to score was this darling shift dress for less than $50! The dress was pretty much brand new and I was so excited to pick it up during my trip!
Since this dress has so many colors in it, the sky is pretty much the limit when it comes to accessorizing. I love picking out one color in the dress and accenting it like I've done with these hot pink fan earrings! Lately, these types of earrings have been my go-to since heavier statement earrings tend to hurt my ears if I wear them longer than a couple of hours...

Oh by the way, for those of you who are actually experiencing fall weather right now, don't worry I promise I have fall content coming to the blog soon! (Next Monday actually!!). It's been a little tricky trying to get photos for my blog posts with my current schedule and RJ living so far away now. It's like I have 1001 post ideas but I just need the time, means, and resources to implement them...

Speaking of RJ... TODAY IS HIS T-SWIFT BIRTHDAY! As I'm sure many of you already know, I love birthdays, whether it be mine, RJ's, a friend's, family's, our next-door neighbors, I'm down to celebrate a birthday. I just love a reason to celebrate and make the person feel special.
If you all remember last year, I did a whole post dedicated to RJ interviewing him with questions that you all sent over! I even shared a post on a surprise party I threw for him as well. This year with both of our work schedules and being long distance we kept things pretty mellow. I'm just excited to spend the weekend with him! I'm heading back to my hometown now as we speak to spend the weekend visiting RJ for his birthday and spend time with my parents. Be sure to follow along on Instagram to see what I'll be up to!
That's it for today's post! Let me know down below what you all have been up to, I'd love to know! I hope you all have a wonderful day and as always, thank you for reading!
