Light as a Feather

Hello! Ah, I can't believe that it is already August. Where has the time gone? However, I'm certainly not complaining; August is by far one of my favorite months of the year. There is just something about August that I find irresistible. Maybe it is soaking in the last rays of summer with friends or maybe it is the anticipation of fall and all that fall has to offer. I am especially excited for this August because I will celebrate my 18th birthday on the 13th. And I think that you guys will know how I will be celebrating- not with a huge birthday bash or anything like that but a peaceful day spent shopping at my favorite stores. And what could be better than that?

August days were meant for dresses like the one that I am wearing above. Light as a feather, this red dress is ideal to wear when it's too hot to wear much else. However, by itself the dress is a tad boring so I accessorized with my favorite scarf in the world. I know that this scarf has made numerous appearances on my blog before and it will continue to do so. You can see ways that I have worn it before here, here & here. I played up the autumnal colors in my scarf by wearing my tan flatforms, several golden bracelets, a golden watch, golden Chanel earrings, classic sunglasses and red lipstick. I have been wearing this red lipstick practically every day for the past week or so. It just makes me feel so glamorous! My nails are also red-hot at the moment. 

In these photos, I am posing with a dictionary of art terms- a must-have for a fashion merchandising student like myself! I hope that you guys are enjoying your last month of summer.
