I found these Gap kids items while back in the Midwest for super cheap. The dot pants were $17 and the tee was $14. A bit pricey for a tee but I thought it was super cute.  I also picked up these girl denim dark wash shorts on clearance for $9. See fitting room pic HERE. The dot pants have an adjustable waist and fits really nicely. They are super soft and extremely comfortable. Girls size 12 fits me nicely most of the time depending on the style and cut.

These Ivanka Trump sandals are one of my favorite pairs. I splurged on them at full price and have never regretted it. They are so comfortable and the cognac color is the perfect shade.  The heel height isn't too tall and I love the strappy design with gold buckle. I wore it everyday while visiting my family. I only brought one pair of shoes so I could save room in my suitcase for all my shopping finds. This explains why I have back to back posts with the same sandals on - pictures were taken last week while traveling:)

I was unsure if the sequin anchor was too "kiddish" but I really liked it. The tee is definitely not something I would normally buy or wear but I'm trying to branch out beyond my typical work attire.

I also wore it with my H&M striped tank and yellow blazer. It's hard to see but I'm wearing these Aldo sandals from Nordstrom rack (also available on Nordstroms.com + on sale). They look like something Zara would carry....leather is super soft and made in Italy! When did Nordstrom's start carrying Aldo shoes? I thought that was interesting...anyone else know that?
Speaking of Aldo shoes, my sister and I both bought these gold glitter sandals (on sale). They run extremely small. I am usually a size 35 but had to size up to a 36. My sister has a size 3 foot and the 35's fit her decent. Good news for tiny footed ladies! They look much better on than they do online. I haven't bought Aldo shoes for the past couple of years because of the inconsistent sizing and poor quality. These two pairs are making me think twice about reverting back.
What are your thoughts on these dot pants and sequin anchor tee?
