I'm always thrilled to post my Thursday outfit posts because I know we're so close to the weekend. Ah, yes! I'm so excited. Especially because this weekend looks so relaxed. I need a relaxing weekend. We don't have any plans other than to catch a movie on Friday and spend Saturday with family visiting from Montana. I'm going to sleep in.. and plan nothing else! Ah.. life in the slow lane is good!
Brett must love flowers lately. Every time I'm walking to a new spot, I'm expecting him to be behind me.. but he's bent down zooming in on some flowers. I think for the past three shoots, I have some type of pretty flower picture he took to post! Wee! We visited the Boyden House tonight. There are so many historic, gorgeous homes in our neighborhood. This one happens to be a bed and breakfast. I peeked in the windows and it looks so amazing. I need to stay there, even if it is in my own town just down the street from our apartment!
So I nearly fainted when I was able to find and purchase these shoes for half off! I've been lusting after them for so long. They were originally $120 and I bought them for $60! I couldn't resist. It was an impulse splurge. The most I've ever spent on shoes were my Jeffrey Campbell lace up boots and I bought those for $100. I must have a huge thing for Jeffrey Campbell, because I won't splurge like that for anyone else! But these are perfect. They are vintage-inspired, gold studded, mixture of wood and black (brown and black is my favorite color mix) and I'm just in LOVE. They fit like a gem (I'm a 7.5 and I ordered an 8) I couldn't love shoes more.. well maybe now it's a tie!

I got this dress so long ago! I'm so terrible right now with a back up of clothing in my closet, but I can't complain about that! Too many clothes is never a bad thing! Too little clothes? That's a different story. I love this floral printed dress from Shop Ruche. I just splurged there again.. their Moroccan Escape collection drew me in - and I couldn't leave without getting the shirt tunic and a leather ring! Ah, I know exactly when I'm going to wear it too! Well, have a wonderful weekend guys or gals! Be on the lookout tomorrow for a special giveaway! And oh! This is my last outfit of spring! Man oh man.. ! I cannot believe summer starts next week officially!

Awwww...you're always adorable Teika :) You look hot hot hot in that dress and with those shoes! Way to splurge ;) Sometimes, it's worth the investment!
My boyfriend definitely has a mancrush on Brett. Hehe! I'm definitely going to submit him for the Behind the Camera feature :)
Loveee your hair!
you look so beautiful in these! those shoes are amazing, exactly what i've been looking for this summer. lucky you!
SO cute! I love those shoes, and finding deals on what you want is the best thing ever!
That house looks amazing, I can't wait to hit up all the historical houses in Detroit this summer. I want to live in all of them and wear old timey dresses!
Love the outfit, glad you got it out and wore it!
Mitten High 5!
Those shoes are bangin! I absolutely love how you styled them with the floral dress. And I'm guessing your hair is different since the dryer bit the dust, but it looks gorgeous:) Happy a great weekend too!
the shoes are amazing

Aren't the shoes the best?! I just want to put them on display in my apartment. They need their own shelf. Seriously.
You look great in them!

ok, ive been stalking those shoes like...in a SERIOUS WAY. im just curious how hard it is to walk in them? i read some reviews and lots of the comments were they were just too tall for some gals...and im a tad on the clumsy side (ok more than a tad!). if its like walking on stilts, i might have to pass. but they are so awesome!
anyway, you look great in them! xo
Seriously, this is one of my favorite outfits you've ever worn. I lovvvve this dress with these shoes!!! These shoes were a steal at $60!!!
Oh my goodness, Tieka - this is stunning! You seriously have me wanting to buy that dress AND those shoes. Eeeeek...your blog makes me spend money, haha. You look lovely! Great photos.
You look so beautiful!!!
I love the entire thing and I have an obsession with Jeffrey Campbell as well, though sadly I don't own anything from him (yet!).

I hope you have a great weekend. I can't wait for mine! :)

I really like the dress -- especially with the belt...and I love your hair! It looks really really good!
oh. my. WORD. those shoes are absolutely heavenly! they have a 70s vibe to them and i love it. aahhh, you look radiant, sweets. <3
I love the dress & badass (in a good, cute way:) shoes. I actually looked at getting that dress a few months ago from Ruche, but I ended up settling on two others. Looks so cute though!
naaw, the dress (and you in it) looks so lovely in front of the sweet spring backdrop of that b&b. and those shoes! i'm a size eight as well (just like everyone else) so i can never find sale shoes. well done you for such a great snag!
the shoes are insane! i'm glad you got such a good deal on them! your floral dress is perfect and looks amazing on you. love to read your blog, one of the things i look forward to everyday!

Those shoes are gorgeous -- so fantastic that you got them for a good deal. This outfit is really beautiful -- I love the floral pattern of your dress.
I laughed at the part about Brett taking photos of flowers...Jeremiah does that too, except with animals. Whenever he sees a squirrel or an interesting bird, he'll attempt 6-7 shots every time we're at the farm park :)
I am now obsessed with Ruche haha, oh my poor credit card...
When I splurge on a pair of shoes, they're gonna be Jeffrey Campbell's.. he is an amazing man/shoe maker/shoe god/iloveyoujeffrey.
You shoes are adorable and look so worth it. They could go with anything! I want some clog heels. :D Also, your hair is really pretty. <3
wow those shoes are fantastic
So, so cute. Your belt is perfect for your dress. Love the details.
Melanie@UnravelledThreads
what a great steal!! i can't believe you STILL have clothes backed up hehe! can't wait for how you dress for summer :) and i love your hair curly!
Awww...you always look so cute, Tieka! I love your belt!
I love these shoes. They look fantastic on you.
I really love the dress and the wedges!
And the flower pictures are very pretty.
I think I'm gonna have to get those Jeffrey Campbell shoes!! Thanks for convincing me. :)
First-time commenter here! I actually just started looking through your blog, and I must say, everything is so lovely. :) And I have to wholeheartedly squeal about the Jeffrey Campbells. My biggest splurge ever on a pair of shoes were on a pair of Campbells, too! They are just so perfect, aren't they?

Hey lady! Love the new shoes! I believe that you are the blogger I was thinking of who loves the band Stars .... They have a new album coming out next week. Just wanted to give you the heads up that you can hear the whole album on NPR's Exclusive First Listen for free. I don't want to post a link here, but I think you could just google "NPR Exclusive First Listen" and it would pop up. Enjoy!

I love this dress! Great deal on those shoes! bargain! and your hair looks awesome!
I love love love your outfit! Those shoes are perfection! :)
Haha that's so funny you say that about Ruche.. I just posted about that on my blog. Their stuff is so pretty. Some dresses I just NEED. I was considering getting this one too! It looks amazing on you!!
Never realised black and brown go so well together. You look lovely in that dress.
I especially love your hair here. The loose waves are so pretty and romantic; they go perfectly with the outfit. And those shoes...! *drool*
Your hair looks especially fluffy in this post. It's pretty.
I really like how you styled the whole outfit-the belt and clogs especially. I loved them on Maria from Lulu Letty and now I love them on you too. They look so sturdy and cool. I look forward to seeing them again in future posts!
Have a good weekend!

The way you wear florals really inspire me and I'm lusting for those shoes too. Need to find a Jeffrey Campbell outlet here in the UK. Another winning outfit.

OH em gee I am dying over those shoes. I must own them. I love this whole outfit, I like brown and black together too. And that belt makes your waist look sooo teeny tiny!
Your look today is great! So feminine, yet so strong!
Killer shoes!
Also, I think your hair looks completely dreamy when it's wavy like that :) You look beautiful!
Hooray for: summer, weekends, THOSE SHOES.
Have a great weekend, darling. xoxo
i love your shoes! my biggest splurge were these 75 dollar tennis shoes that are bright blue and pink that are so cute, but don't really go with any of my outfits so i wear them whenever. great outfit by the way!
The belt is super cute! =).
Love the shoes on you Tieka!! They look amazing with that dress. I love pairing them with florals.
I'm jealous that you got such an amazing deal on them and that you could wear the 8. I was stuck between the 7 and 8, and went with the 7 since the 8 was a bit too big. Sadly, the 7 still pinches my toes a bit.
Lulu Letty
cute! cute! i LOVE those shoes-- although I don't think i could ever pull them off they are adorable on you :)
Okay, how on earth did you get those shoes for 50% off! I'm so jealous!
GORGEOUS belt! I love the combo with the soft florals. Perfect summer look.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. It's almost here!
Tieka Ahhhhh!! THis outfit is way too adorable!! I LOVE the shoes... why are you and Jen tempting me to buy them?? I've already bought way too many shoes this summer and now I want these too!
u look great n i think i just might need a jefferey campbell shoes ....well mayb after I give birth heheh

The little dress with the belt was a sublime choice with the shoes...

Thanks for coming by my blog--I SO loved finding that antique cabinet! :) Redoing a house and filling it with pretty things has been so much fun. I was a little nervous at first, but it's been so great to have our own space! I keep waiting for you and Brett to announce that you've found your perfect little nest too!
Now, on to this amazing outfit! You look gorgeous! The dress is great, love it with the Jeffrey Campbells; and mostly, I love your hair wavy like that!

The flower pictures are gorgeous! Your sweetie is becoming a super awesome photographer. Lucky girl! And those shoes! Outstanding!

Best shoes EVER! You made me realise how amazing brown and black look together lol.
i am literally having to wipe the drool from my face and chin after seeing those AMAZING shoes. What a deal (and to say I'm jealous would be an understatement!)
if i owned those kicks, i'd wear them with EVERYTHING (even jammies!) ;)
~bb
I'm loving the outfit, but more importantly I am having total hair envy right now.
I'm trying to grow mine out to that long flowing state that you are at. Seriously. Envy.
You look beautiful in these shots. Like there are no words to describe just how beautiful. I'm really loving your dress, those shoes, everything! And I'm not sure if I had already commented on it, but I really love your new header!
I'll never get sick of florals :)
you look lovely, dear.
ahh, you look as beautiful as always!

have a great weekend!

This outfit is freaking ADORABLE!!!! I love floral dresses and yours is perfect - and the shoes. Oh my gosh. They are amazing. If I wasn't so conscious of my height (With those heels on, I'd be at least 5'9"!!!) I'd totally get some like that. Great outfit :]
I love the house in the last picture..and I can picture myself living in somethig like that. But you can't find something like this in Europe :((
I loove your outfit. And funny thing about it: I have something similar planned, but with a palysuit instead of the dress + a hat. But the colors are almost identical..just waiting for my Jeffrey Campbells to arrive in the mail :)
Love, Diana

i have yet to order any jeffrey campbell shoes, but they are mighty tempting!
the colors in your dress are just lovely -- and your hair!!! why did i ever cut mine in the first place?
Those shoes look like the ones I just bought for my wedding! I love the hippie/60s/boho vibe they have (and they look great on you!)
oh, tiek, you are so beautiful! I love how you did your hair in these photos!

This is such an amazing outfit, and you look gorgeous in it! Love all of it...the dress, the belt, and especially the shoes! (what a great deal...someday I'd like to make that sort of splurge, especially on Jeffrey Campbell shoes!)
