Cheers to the almost-weekend! Thanks for all your great tips and feedback on my packing posts this week! After some reeeeally late nights, we got everything done at home, and made it to the airport with minimal bags in tow this morning. I was so torn between packing light, and packing every darling outfit I own….because, hello pictures!!?? #priorities
We arrive Barcelona early tomorrow morning (hopefully we won’t have any ‘incidents’ like before!!), and will have some time to explore before embarking on the ship Saturday afternoon. I’m sure I’ll be over-sharing on Instagram and Snapchat, so follow me there if you want to follow along (@cassiesugarplum).
Today it’s time for the next installment of Dressing Room Diaries, where I hunt down some of the cutest new arrivals from my favorite retailers, and review them for you. And between looking for new things for the trip, and my usual stops, it’s a doozy of a post!
The shots aren’t good, the lighting is bad, my hair is usually past it’s expiration, and many of the items aren’t a good fit for me…but it’s real life, real girl, real clothes…and hopefully helpful for you to see them this way, instead of perfectly styled on a model.
Sidenote: Everything fits true-to-size unless I indicate otherwise. And fyi, I’m 5’4″-ish, 115 pounds-ish, with a slight pear shape.
I love fun, flirty tops, especially for girl’s night or date night…throw them on with jeans and heels, and you’re perfectly sassy. This one is a gorgeous color, and has fun touches like a keyhole back and ruffle.
Fit Tip: I wear this bra with tops like these.



This chambray off-the-shoulder is super soft and lightweight, but not so thin you’d see the outline of a strapless bra. I loved the pretty scallop hem, and it’s just as cute pulled up on the shoulders.
Fit Tip: It runs a little big, I’m wearing an XS.

Why are pineapples so cute?! It’s one of the few graphics I’ll wear…something about them is more chic than juvenile. This tank is super soft, and would be so cute with shorts, or knotted with a skirt. Look for it along the Mediterranean next week! 😉
Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, but hoping it doesn’t shrink when laundered!




I’m having a moment with pull-on, elastic-waist skirts this season…something so classic, but casual, about them. And hello, so comfortable!! This one is a great length, fully-lined, and the tassels make it so fun. The top is too loose for it, but all I had with me in the dressing room. Can’t you see it paired with a fitted white tank?!



Fit Tip: The top is an xs, and shorts size 0.


Fit Tip: Tank is xs, and shorts 0.



Remember this dress from my Five Under $50? I just had to try it for myself…and it’s definitely a winner…especially for the price! So cute with wedges and a long pendant, or jean jacket and flat sandals.
Fit Tip: This brand runs a little small, so I sized up to a size small.







Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, but now that I think about it, I probably would love this sized up to a small, for a more forgiving fit. #agirlsgottaeat







Fit Tip: I’m wearing a regular 0.

Another great pull-on skirt…which I love for travel. They are just as comfy as shorts, but more pulled-together. This one is so cute with a fitted tank (or maybe the pineapple tee!?), or button-down shirt tied at the waist. I’ll wear it with wedges, flat sandals, and sneakers.
Fit Tip: I prefer these type of skirts to fit at my natural waist (belly-button), so I size down. This is a 00.


Fit Tip: It runs true-to-size, but it also meant to be a relaxed fit…this is an xs.

Whew! I told you this was a doozy! I hope you found this post helpful, and maybe discovered some new goodies. What’s your favorite from this round of Dressing Room Diaries? You may want to check out the previous installment because many of the items featured are on sale! Happy long weekend, lovebugs…I’ll see you back here Monday for a full week of style inspiration!
