What I Wore + Forever21 Gift Card Giveaway

Yesterday we went to a barbecue for the CT Bloggers group hosted by Wendy of Sweeties Sweeps. It was a lot of fun with a bunch of interesting wonderful people. We had a truly  exciting guest with us as well, writer Jane Stern of Roadfood! It was a day filled with yummy food, great conversation, and a delicious margarita. 

I wore a simple white tee and a jersey stretch ruched skirt from Forever 21, which I basically got for free thanks to their buy one, get one free sale!(which is still going on now). I kept it pretty simple and accessorized with cat eye sunglasses and jewelry, also from Forever 21. I really love their costume jewelry, it is wildly affordable and trendy. It will not last you forever, but neither do trends, and at $6, it's quite okay with me. I decided to give this new sunglasses trend(cat eye) a go and I am glad I did because they compliment my face shape and I am pretty sure they will for most. 

Because I love this store so much(for trend of the season pieces), I am personally funding a $30 gift card giveaway for you guys to stock up on some summer accessories or whatever else you please! 

To enter the giveaway all you have to do is follow my instagram account @my_haute_blog and my bloglovin account, which you can find to the right! Giveaway results will be posted July 27th. Due to gift card rules, only US readers are eligible.
