Chambray Shirt and Floral Skirt

Chambray Shirt-Old Navy (similar American Eagle Sleeveless Chambray Shirt), Dress Worn as Skirt-Forever 21 (similar Yoox Floral Skirt), Bag-H&M (similar Forever 21 White Satchel), Flats-Kensie Girl (similar Nurture Woven Flats)
At this point in the summer, I am trying to get creative with my closet. I feel like I've worn all my clothes over and over again. So I changed things up a bit by wearing this floral dress as a skirt instead. I paired it with a chambray shirt, which truly goes with everything.

Denim Shorts and Converse

Tee-Target (similar Old Navy Tee for $5), American Eagle Denim Shorts, Necklace-c/o Happiness Boutique, Girls Converse Chuck Taylor Sneakers, Bag-H&M (similar Forever 21 Satchel)

Random Wednesday Thoughts:

• I've been living in denim shorts on the weekends! Today I paired them with a simple grey tee, comfy Converse sneakers, and a rhinestone statement necklace for some sparkle. 

• I am thrilled that Ben H. is the new Bachelor! But before they made the annoucement on After Paradise and brought Nick out, I thought for sure they were going to announce that it was him. Thank goodness, because I don't think I could stomach another season of Nick Viall.

• This summer (as with every summer), has gone entirely too fast. Hopefully there will still be lots more beach days ahead in September.

Win Fast with NJ Lottery's Fast Play

Who wants to win some money? Fast Play is a new series of games from the New Jersey Lottery that offers the fastest way to win. They have Fast Play games ranging from $1 to up to $10 per ticket ($10 games to be released in the future). There's currently four different games to choose from: Fast Cash, Red Hot Numbers, Slots of Fun, and Bling Bling Bucks. I went to my local 7-11 store to purchase the tickets. Just ask for Fast Play and pick your games. After the games are selected, the tickets simply print out from the Lottery terminal. It was super easy to both purchase and play. There's no selecting numbers, scratching, or waiting for a drawing. The instructions for each Fast Play game are directly on each ticket and you can quickly tell if you're a winner. I love that you can win instantly!

I purchased $15 worth of Fast Play tickets:

I selected one Fast Cash game for $1. You can win up to $500 (overall odds 1 in 4). To win, you have to match three winning symbols (vertical, horizontal, or vertical line) to win a corresponding prize.

I got one Red Hot Numbers game for $1. You win up to $1,000 (overall odds 1 in 3.9). This game has you match your numbers to the hot numbers. The more numbers you can match, the higher the prize. You have to match at least three numbers to be a winner. If you find a Red Hot win symbol in your numbers, you can win $25 instantly. 

I picked four Slots of Fun games for $2 per ticket. Win up to $5,000 (overall odds 1 in 3.8). This game looks like a slot machine in a casino. Find 3 winning symbols in a spin to win. There's also a chance to win double the prize shown by matching 2 winning 
symbols and a crown symbol.

Lastly, I picked one Bling Bling Bucks ticket for $5, win up to $25,000! (overall odds 1 in 3.2). Diamonds are a girl's best friend, right? You have to match three prize amounts (shown inside the diamond ring) to win. There's also a Lucky Diamond Bonus. If you get two matching prize amounts, you'll win that prize automatically.  

Each game was fun and easy to play. After playing the games on each of my tickets, I am so excited to report that I am a winner! On a Slots of Fun ticket, I won $25 instantly on one spin! I'll be spending my winnings on new fall clothes. 

The New Jersey Lottery will be rolling out new games every few months so be on the lookout!

Look What I Got: Leopard Flats

Top (actually a dress tucked in)-Express (similar Old Navy Linen Tank), Necklace-Aliexpress (similar BaubleBar Courtney Bib Necklace), Old Navy Rockstar Jeans, Bag-Botkier, Flats-Target Girls (similar Mossimo Leopard Flats)

Awhile ago I was at the dog park with my puggle Oliver and he unfortunately peed on the leopard flats I was wearing. (Note to self: do not wear good shoes to the dog park). Ever since, I've been looking for a replacement pair. I found these in the girls' shoe section at Target. They're made by Steve Madden and they were only $21.99! I plan on wearing them constantly come fall, but I just couldn't wait to break them out.

Grey Tee Shirt Dress

Mossimo T Shirt Dress, Vest-Decree (similar Charlotte Russe Military Vest), Bag-H&M (similar Forever 21 White Satchel), Sandals-AE (similar Dune London Gladiator Sandals)

I bought this grey tee shirt dress last year and it has remained a summer staple for me. It is great on hot and humid days where you just want to be comfy! I layered it under my jeweled cargo vest and paired it with gladiator sandals.

I previously wore this dress with a denim jacket and Converse for a weekend look.

White Eyelet Dress

Dress-c/o 10dollarmall.com (similar Old Navy Eyelet Dress), Earrings-Francesca's (similar Kendra Scott Danielle Earrings), Bag-H&M (similar Forever 21 White Satchel), Flats-Kensie Girl (similar Mango Cap Toe Flats)

At the beginning of summer, I would've looked like Casper the ghost in this dress. But I feel like I am now tan enough to wear it without scaring anyone. At a mere 10 bucks, you can't beat that for the perfect little white dress.

Neon Peplum Top + White Jeans

Top-c/o Choies.com (similar Boohoo Neon Peplum Top for $10!), Necklace-Groopdealz (similar Sam Edelman Pink Pendant Necklace), H&M White Jeans for $19.99, Cherokee Kailin Huarache Sandals

Today I'm remixing my white jeans. In the summer, I wear them more often than my blue jeans. Bright colors, like this neon peplum top, just pop against the fresh white. 

I last wore my white jeans with a black chiffon top for a summer office look.
