Inspiration outfit: YSL arty ring and H & M dress worn as a skirt

I have been itching to get this YSL arty ring and finally pulled the trigger. I was ecstatic when I found out I could order a size 4 because I knew the 5 would be too big. The only way you can order a size 4 is directly through YSL online. The smallest size department stores carry is size 5. So many great bloggers have this ring in different colors: (Tiffany, Jean, Wendy, Jessy) and I am sure thousands more.

This outfit was inspired by a photo I found on pinterest. I thought it was so cute and figured I needed to do an outfit that was not work attire. I am wearing my H & M tank dress ($12.95 from last summer) as a skirt...last week I tried a dress as a top- see? I am going outside my comfort zone! Woo hoo! It's definitely on the "sexy" side so this is something I would wear to date night or out to dinner.

It was so insanely hot outside and here I am posing in 3 layers! I thought I was seriously going to die of heat stroke. The things we go through for blog photos!

I am loving my YSL arty ring and wasn't sure I could pull off such a big and bold ring but it's quite versatile and the lapis blue is GORGEOUS!
It's so easy to re-create this look!
