You guys, I’ve been married to that hunk for SIX MONTHS today. I won’t mush and gush too much, but let me just say that being married to your best friend is awesome. I highly recommend it. JS, I love you. Whole bunch. An astonishing amount.

Onto the dressing room. There are a ton of awesome boutiques in the area. Y’all know I’ve mentioned fab’rik and Fedora on here before, but what I didn’t share were my “shots from the dressing room” lately.

I’ve never shared any of these before, but I thought a casual Saturday was the perfect opportunity to just show some fun “trying stuff on” photos. No, I did not purchase all of these things. That would be ridiculous. I did purchase a few which you guys have seen.

note, i also know some of these look ridiculous, which is why i didn’t buy them.

Shopping at Fab’rik Chapel Hill:

1. I liked this dress, didn’t love it. Didn’t get it. It has a cool open back and pockets which were a plus.

2. Did not love this dress. It was also a little too sheer for my taste.

3. I saw this dress on the rack and thought I’d love it. Not so much. I felt like a character in Charlie Brown.

4. Liked this one shoulder top, couldn’t picture a scenario actually wearing it.

5. LOVED this top. Has a cool open back. Don’t know why I didn’t get it, but I didn’t… and now it’s gone.

6. The blue back button blouse! I did buy this. I wore it here. Remember? Got this one on sale for $10!

7. Loved this green top. SO much. I purchased it for $20. I wore it here. Remember?

8. This colorblock top with cutout sleeves was cool. Again, didn’t love it enough to actually buy it.

9. Loved this tank – it had a cool cross-body back… but I didn’t get it.

10. Actually LOVED this dress – and the fact that it was only $44 made me love it more. BUT I didn’t get it – I didn’t totally love the color and I couldn’t picture a ton of wearing scenarios.

11. I have actually been obsessed with this dress for months. I still have yet to buy it. There’s a part of me holding back and I won’t cave and buy something if all of me isn’t in it.

Now onto shopping at Fedora Boutique in Carrboro.

They don’t have mirrors in the dressing room so I had to walk out into the store to take mirror pics. Also, I know my cowboy boots don’t match 99% of these outfits, but those were the shoes I had on that day. It’s cool.

1. I loved this mint, polka dot, hi-low dress on the rack. H-A-T-E-D it on. I looked so frumpy. UGH.

2. Loved this fuchsia one-shoulder dress on the rack. Didn’t hate it on, but it was SO SHORT. Like, if I sneezed, the world would get a show. Not good. Did not buy.

3. LOVED THIS DRESS. FAVORITE. EVER. Couldn’t buy it fast enough. For real. LOVE. Wore it here. Remember?

4. Also REALLY loved this dress. Like, a lot. I didn’t buy it. Couldn’t justify the price. But I really wanted it. SOBAD.

5. Liked this dress in theory, didn’t love it on. The bottom is a fun accordion pleat, but I hated the top.

6. LOVED this shift dress by Everly. I seriously love everything they make. I didn’t get it, but I still want it. I might get it soon. Who knows? Do you like it? Should I get it??? They also have it in a ton of other colors.

7. Loved this Everly tulip blouse. Love the cutout back. Bought it. Such a great quality top and for only $34, I couldn’t not get it. I wore it here. Remember? Oh, but those shorts? HATE. HATE. DID NOT LOVE. NO. But, again, no mirrors in the dressing room so I had to wear them out to look at the shirt.

8. LOVED this blouse. Still not a fan of the scalloped shorts. Didn’t buy the blouse. Still want it.

Anyway, thanks for going dressing room shopping with me, y’all. What do you think? Anything that I didn’t get that I should? Favorite picks?

Now, onto your weekly roundup:

  1. You have much more dressing room patience than I have! I only try on a few things & then I get antsy. I loved some of the longer dresses on you.

  2. You are totes adorable! I miss trying on things in dressing rooms… I do pretty much all of my shopping online these days, and while getting pretty things in the mail is fun, it definitely doesn’t replace the dressing room… I love you in the one shouldered tops/dresses… such a chic look!

  7. Whatever you are doing right now, you should stop instantly. Hurry. Get in the car and drive back to get that red shift dress. Then let me know you got it. It’s SUPER cute, and you must have it. I need to try some everly stuff. You’re not the first person I’ve heard mention it…

  13. I can see why you love that red shift dress so much, it looks amazing on you! (I think it’s my favorite, aside from the blue and green chevron dress that you have.) Look wow, it looks amazing on you! (That long red one with the colorful stripes across the bottom is pretty fabulous as well, it is such a pretty maxi.)
