Turned My Birthday into a Lifestyle.

Sunday, June 5th, was my 23rd birthday! So to finish off my June V Week, I'll be highlighting my outfits from the weekend for the next few days! To celebrate my birthday, I spent Sunday afternoon with my family at Bravo Italiana, an Italian restaurant franchise that is located throughout the United States.

I wanted my outfit to by dressy but casual, by my standards at least. I normally go all out on my birthday outfit, but running on little sleep, I didn't put as much effort into my outfit planning as I normally would. I choose a simple rust colored shift dress, that was purchased from Forever 21. This style of dress is super popular for this summer and can be styled in a variety of ways. It also is cool and comfortable enough to keep you trendy all Summer 16.

I choose to style my dress with bronze and brown accessories. My necklaces are apart of a set of three necklaces that I purchased from Walmart for only a dollar! At the end of every season, check your local Walmart as they change over their jewelry and mark it down to a $1.00 or lower. I also added a rust colored bracelet to incorporate the color from my dress into my accessories. My earrings are clips (my ears aren't pierced) and were purchased from a local jewelry store.

My shoes are a Shop Hope's steal that I purchased during their 75% Off Sale! The Tell Everyone Heels are no longer available on Shophopes.com but similar gladiator style sandals and heels are currently available on the website. I was able to get an amazing deal on these shoes! They were regularly $41.99, and I was able to get them for $10.50, with free shipping (shophopes.com always offers free shipping).

Tomorrow I'll be highlighting my night time look for my birthday weekend!
