It’s no secret that I love Forever 21. I recently had… let’s call it… a bad day, and went on a little bit of an online shopping spree. I somehow ended up with a super full shopping cart and was so anxious to receive my goodies that I paid to for over night shipping. *insert emoji covering eyes* I look at it this way, my way too large Forever 21 purchase was still less expensive than therapy. So I totally saved money. Seriously, how cute is this dress? It’s perfect for summer AND fall. Gosh, I’m such a bargain shopper.

The best part of this dress is where I wore it. I had a BLIND DATE – ok, I guess it was technically a meet up with some local bloggers. Let me tell you that I had the BEST night with these girls. It was totally worth paying $40 for overnight shipping so I could have this dress in time for my bloggy date. You need to check my new BBFFs (blogger BFFs) out, they’re amazing. I think we’re even going on a second date. EEK.
