What’s a summer in New York City if you can’t get dressed up and go out from time to time? I wore this tribal print dress on a dinner date out with friends. We stopped at this beautiful spot near Penn Station and snapped these pics. I’m loving the simplicity of this look. Not a lot of accessories going on…just this beautiful necklace from Stella & Dot. I paired it all up with a pair of suede gladiator sandals by Breckelle’s. These shoes are always such a hit every time I wear them or post pics of them. They are sold out nationwide, but as soon as I find a dupe, you guys will be the first to hear about it!
Cheers to summer nights!
What I’m Wearing:
Dress: GoJane | Necklace: Stella & Dot | Shoes: Breckelle’s (Roma 21) [similar here & here] | Bracelet: Forever 21

I found you through Luvvie and am so happy I did! You rock one of my favorite Stella & Dot necklaces, the Pegasus, gorgeously. I love it so much I even sent one to Mrs. Obama. If she is ever seen wearing it, I will literally fall out. She would so rock it. I also spied one of my fave S&D gold link bracelets in your best of 2013 review. If you love statement jewelry, you have found the right brand. It hooked me. I’m a Baton Rouge native and attorney now living on the east coast, but being a S&D stylist let’s me express my accessories passion. Enjoy your 2L year in New Orleans. Being a 3L will seem like a breeze after this year. I’m enjoying the blog. Cheers!

I love the contrast that your necklace gives the otherwise black outfit. I also think your shoes are absolutely perfect. Currently searching for the same pair.
