I was so happy to score these orange pumps at Zara a couple weeks ago. How cute are they?? I'll admit I'm not usually one for overly bright colors, but these just called out to me - it also helped that they were the last size 36 in Southern California. How could I leave them behind? They have a ton of potential and probably only need an insert in the left foot which appears to have gotten a bit smaller than the right. Erm freak of nature much? No worries Inspector Shoeseau's on the case so it will handled in a timely manner. Much like the time we were in Palm Springs with the parents when the Go International Target line was released and I stampeded on over there (inspector shoeseau style) to claim this polka dot dress. It was the only thing that really caught my eye and, though I wavered at the time, am really happy to have picked it up. Can be worn baby doll or belted and totally worth the less than $40 it cost at the time.
~Dress: Jovovich-Hawk for Target, Vest: J.Crew, Belt: Anthro, Shoes: Zara,
Bag: Alexander Wang Coco~
I love the swirly fabric and mix of large and small polka dots. So feminine and
really a different look than I usually go for, but the vest made it mine.
Coco - still very sentimental to me, despite her backbreaking studs.
She always takes an outfit up a notch.
View from the back. Have to say I'm not usually one for the shorter dress, but
this one got to me. I was done at "polka dots".
The week's kinda been going like this...a blur.
As of yesterday I am officially out of Cadbury Mini Eggs
so prepare for a breakdown in the west. Work's been grueling and I've lost my crutch!

I WISH that dress had looked that fab on me! Love.
I tried on that dress. I like how you paired it. You're so skinny girl!
It's the belt and the shred...I've STILL got a bit of the muffin top, but laying off the mexican food a wee bit is helping. I've replaced the majority of it with sushi however it appears chocolate chip cookies are beckoning. Blame it on stress!! oy
But thank you :)
holy crap, LOVE this outfit so much!! And the orange heels bring it from cute and put together to bangin' fashionista! Amazingness in every day! And hey, if your week is like that I say you're good, you look hot blurry :)
agreed!! i like the blurry one best of all!!
Ah, those orange heels are so divine - orange is such a bright and happy colour, wouldn't you agree;-)
why yes I absolutely would and they are even better in person :) xo
I love your heels!!!! They are perfect! xo.
Umm love your polka dot dress! Love that yournpolka dot dress has flutter sleeves! Love your military vest! Love your bright orange pumps! Love you coco. Ummm what's not to love about thisnoutfit?!?!
I've been thinking about that A. Wang bag for over a year but haven't been able to bite the bullet because every time I try it on its so heavy!!!!
Oh the shoes!!! I also obsessing over you Alexander Wang bag.
Carrie! This might be one of my favorites of yours ever! Seriously, a polka dot dress, army vest and bright orange pumps? So, so fantastic!! (Note to self: get a military vest asap) Those pumps were meant to be - last ones in your size! I am swooning over orange lately, and these are so gorgeous!!
Oh baby, can those shoes be any better?!
I'm sorry to hear about the Cadbury shortage. I have two left that I'm saving for an emergency.
Carrie, love the shoes!! You are such a stylish babe! xo
your shoes are the best!

très jolie tenue, j'adore ta robe, et je trouve tes chaussures magnifiques, j'aime beaucoup
Thinking of a title is always a mind cramp for me too! I have that dress as well and I love the way you styled it!!

the mini-eggs where NO WHERE to be found in jersey or Ny - i LOVE them and only the big one's :o( JEALOUS!
This dress is really cute! I love that you paired with the red pumps.
That last shot is so beautiful and I adore your red pumps! Tres chic, missy!
Xx
Get more eggs! Just kidding. Your posts are perfect and you always have wonderful blog titles. And that dress with those shoes is amazing. Amazing!
I tried that dress on and was totally incapable of pulling it off - you look amazing! And the shoes...the shoes! I loooove them.

Fresh & fabulous!!
The orange pumps really kick it up and I'm kicking myself for debating about buying that dress. Darn!
Cadbury's might be gone but have you tried Coconut M&M's? Can't....stop....
1st of all...im LOVING your entire outfit, all finished off with those shoes!
2nd of all...im terrible at coming up with creative titles. so i just dont LOL. :-)
Hello orange pumps!!
What is it about being the last in stock that makes things so much more appealing?
And even though its a bright color, i'm learning just how versatile i can really be - have fun styling them!
You look stunning, my dear! Those orange pumps are the perfect way to spice up an outfit, and that you did well...
those pumps are so fun! I just came from a blog with orange flats so bight colored shoes in general have me all excited!!
Lol, I think we all sometimes have a problem coming up with post titles! :)
I am really loving the outfit doll!! So pretty and chic.
xoxo,
Mel
I see the words here, but all I can focus on are those amazing shoes and that bag. Oh, that bag!
Oh my goodness, how cute are you?! I am obsessed with polka dots lately and orange (I just tried a red lip today, but think orangey-red would have been a better choice and your shoes confirm it!)
Love the dress, LOVE the shoes, and will you look at those legs! That Shred business has obviously been working for you!
And I can never come up with post titles either. Some days I'm tempted to just name them "look at this thing I like".
Polka dots & orange... I like it. =)
Good luck with no Cadbury... you gotta stash of Delizza tucked away??
Carrie... Your shoe collection is enough to make me want to move to SoCal. We could officially share. I love the bright color! And that dress looks a million times cuter on you than I could ever imagine!

I have coraly red shoes too! I am obsessed with them (even though they kill my feet) and I can NEVER find such cute things at Target, or if I do they fit really weird.
killing it...so fierce. Love the combo: polka dots, milary, Jovovich-Hawk RIP, killer bright pumps...sweet!
I'd def break my back over Coco too!

Thank you for your sweet comments on my blog--I really appreciate it. Your polka dot dress is so pretty.
the bag of course!! :P

Your polka dot dress is sooo cute! And the pumps totally work. I love the bright orange color. Okay, Target expert: what should I expect when I go shopping there in a couple of weeks? You do NOT know how excited I am to enter a Target!
*addition to this OUTFIT (I'm tired :))
I love this polka dot dress! It has so many pretty details and it looks so great on you, Carrie! and those heels! They are the perfect addition to this addition (and equally awesome on their own)
I have been having a pretty relaxed week.. rare and much needed! I hope things slow down for you..
p.s. I got some suggestions to add a cup of vinegar to the wash to "set the color" in the jeans.. I'm a little nervous and think I might try the excessive multiple washings like you said. And I think you would definitely like the ko lotion. I don't usually love Burt's Bees, but I have to say that they did a good job with that lotion I featured! xo
my titles are dumb. sweetness, those heels need to be on my feet now. i think i just drooled onto my keyboard.
very nice with the colourful shoes to the rest of your outfit!

I seriously CANNOT get over this outfit! It's spectacular! I need those shoes. {And wow you have tiny feet :)} The dress is perfection. And the bag needs to be mine. Love is not a strong enough word!
the title reminded me of this hideous outfit i had in middle school...like orange sleeveless turtle neck with huge white polka dots and matching orange shorts and i had frizzy poofy hair. i'm sad there is a picture to remember that by.ugh.
1. Um how did the Cadbury eggs last you this long? I need your secret (thank God mine have been gone for weeks)
2. You SHOULD be one for the shorter dress cause your legs look amazing!
3. I love the dress . . . almost as much as I love the shoes. Which makes sense given that I looooove heels and I looooove bright colors.
xoxo
Orange, army green, polka dots, studs-only you could pull this off, and make it look so divine!
Looove this outfit! The new shoes and dress are awesome! :D

Those shoes!! Those gawd-dang shoes!! I want, I want, I want!!
On a side note: if some crazy woman in California runs up behind you and renders you unconscious with a hearty *thwack* from her purse, and you wake up and are shoe-less... well, let's just say it wasn't me. I don't even live in Cali, dude!!
You look FAB!!! Love the shoes and bag! :)

You are too cute!!!! I need to catch up on your blog. The last month has been grueling and I am far, far behind.
I hope you are keeping up with work and giving yourself some relaxation time this weekend!
Such a cute outfit and I love the color of the shoes with it! Ugh, I've actually had the problem where I buy a pair of heels and one fits perfect and the other is tight. Turns out one was just tried on by so many people it stretched out. But, got a full refund! :)
Carrie, this outfit is amazing and those red shoes are to-die-for!
