A burst of color: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Mini Mini

IMG_3043-2
Dress: Banana Republic sheath dress (gifted from reader)- size 00P (similar here and here)
Purse: Rebecca Minkoff MAMM- (similar here and gorgeous blue here)
Necklace: Amrita Singh (similar cheaper version)

This dress was gifted to me from a reader who shall remain anonymous:) She is such a doll and wouldn't even allow me to pay for shipping! Not only did she send me this dress but she sent me an adorable brand new Ann Taylor cowl neck shell! I honestly couldn't believe how kind she is and how many nice people I have met through the blogging world. I am so touched by her kindness. You all know how much I love sheath dresses and this one is my new favorite! I am sure it will be making many appearances in the future. The 00P fits perfectly and the length requires no alterations. I don't have any in this color so I was so stoked to add this to my collection! 
I have been wanting a Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini mini but they no longer carry the MM's! What's up with that? I knew I wanted a colored handbag that didn't break the bank so I have been scouring Ebay and Bonanza. I lucked out and found this one for $130 with free ship! Well it was originally $150 but I negotiated some money off:) Doesn't hurt to ask!

I love how a simple and neutral outfit can be transformed just with a pop of color in a handbag. This purse has a shoulder strap that can be worn across the body but I'll probably only use that when traveling. I attempted to take outdoor photos for today's post but it has been so deathly hot outside, I will just have to stick to boring indoor photos:(

If you are looking for a gorgeous white skirt (see Kelly's post) that fits off the rack, Ann Taylor is having 50% off! I got it and LOVE it! Fits perfectly with no alterations! I had to get something that was full price so I got this belt but am now keeping it! Have a great weekend everyone! :)
