Preaching to the Choir

Dress: Kieu's, $15 // Bracelet: Forever 21, $9 // Earrings: Creation Station (local shop), $5 // Shoes: RJ Girl via Piperlime, $55

This dress called to me for a number of reasons: the scalloped edges, the big bow, the bright white color, the price tag. Staring in the mirror this morning, however, I couldn't help but think I looked like I belonged in a church choir. I edged up its angelic nature with tough accessories: glam metallic earrings, a big stud bracelet and my trusty strappy wedges.

The bruise on your knee is my favorite part, sweet and tough at the same time.
Pretty lip tint.

I think it's gorgeous! I love the scalloped edges as well. I just purchased a skirt from Urban Outfitters with a scalloped hem, and I'm in love with it!

Beautiful! The dress itself is amazing and the styling was wonderful. I think the hair keeps it from looking too sweet as well, very nice!
