We all have that dress we never want to take off, and this blush, bell sleeved beauty is mine at the moment! It's the most dreamy late summer dress, and I'm already looking forward to carrying it over into the fall as well. 

I originally came across this dress during a last minute hunt for sorority recruitment outfits. Picky me was struggling to find a reasonably priced blush dress that I truly loved, but while scouring Lulu's website for what seemed like the hundredth time I came across this simple and effortless shift dress that I knew would get far more wears out of it than I could even imagine. 

The bell sleeves are darling, and the v-neck was the cherry on top of this otherwise classic dress. For the late summer I paired it with my favorite studded sandals from Target, but if I have any formal events this fall I'd love to pair it with my burgundy, velvet heels. 

Also, I thought I'd give y'all a little update on one of my junior year goals. If you missed the post you can go ahead and read it HERE. But I'm proud to report that for the past week I have woken up in time for breakfast every day! Coming from the girl who never woke up before 10 a.m. last year this is a huge accomplishment for me, and I've never felt so productive. I think this just goes to show that setting small, attainable goals for yourself is a good way to create healthier habits, boost your self-esteem and pave the way for bigger and better goals! 

I hope y'all had a bearable Monday, and I'll talk to y'all tomorrow!
