Gap shirt | Gap jeans | Target heels | Express necklace | Aldo bag (similar) | Charlotte Russe bracelet* While I often admit to being slightly dress-obsessed, it hasn’t been uncommon to catch me in my Gap 1969 jeans lately.

H&M dress, Charlotte Russe bracelet*, Express flats, Lia Sophia necklace (similar), Stella & Dot bag I went on a vacation to Boston last week and loved every minute.
