Orange + Ikat + #YOLOmondays Link-Up!
{{Dress: Old Navy Maternity (non-maternity version)
{{Jacket: LOFT
{{Scarf: Southern Charm Apparel
{{Necklace: The Mighty River Project
{{Clutch: Clothes Hound Raleigh
{{Flip-flops: Rainbow
Yes, I know I wore this dress just last week. BUT, let’s be real people. In real life, people wear things more than once. They also wear the same thing in the same week. This dress is comfortable and I happen to love it. So why not wear it again, but make it “feel” different? Last week I wore it with a cardigan and a headband. This week, I wear it with a fun light scarf and my favorite denim jacket. And flip-flops.
I have had this particular pair of brown rainbow flip-flops for TEN years. Yes, ten years. Maybe longer. I can just remember having them for ten years. They are perfectly broken in and basically, once the weather hits 60+ degrees, these puppies go on my feet and are on my feet for 90% of the warm months. Are you with me? Anyone else a Rainbow flip-flop fan? Oh, and by the way, I also have these in black. And I have them in white / beige. So I have all three of my neutral colors covered.
These photos also reminded me, however, that I need to paint my toenails. Thank the Lord you can’t really see my toes in these photos.
Also, funny story, I got about halfway through taking photos of this outfit and realized I still had my extremely ugly wrist brace / splint on (for my tendinitis). NOT cute. So I took it off and started over. It’s totally fine.
On another, more random note, the amount of pollen that is out right now should be illegal. Seriously. I don’t drive a yellow car. My car is blue. But no, it is yellow right now because of all the pollen. My eyes, nose, ears, throat, body, etc. are NOT fans of the pollen.
AMIRIGHT?!
Anywho. It’s Monday and it’s going to be a GREAT week. Get it, y’all.
Happy YOLO Monday! Each week, Carly & I select a few of our favorite posts from the Monday before to feature. It’s a great way to put the spotlight on a few of y’all each week! Please be sure to link up an ACTUAL post, not just a link to your main page.

You’re in the parking garage where I work 🙂 I never thought about taking pictures up there. Rainbows are seriously the best! I’ve had mine for 10 years now too!
what?! that’s awesome!! where do you work???
I love this dress- what a great Old Navy find!
thank you so much, rachel!
so it turns out rainbow will fix your flip flops for free for the life of the shoe! and life being the bottom sole has to be completely intact. so of course, mine crack in the footbed and i go to send them off…and see the soles are worn off around the heel. oh well. i guess this means shoe shopping! and you look so cute!!
WHAT?! that is AWESOME. i had no idea!!! but boo yours cracked in the wrong place 🙁 at least it’s a shoe shopping excuse!
gurl wear that dress as much as you want, you look gorgeous in it!!!!
brooke @ what2wear
