Another skater dress from Wet Seal and shoes are from Steve Madden. Warning: These shoes contain a metal accessory, which was cutting into my feet so I stopped wearing them.:

Here’s a leopard print Sweetheart neckline banded dress from Forever 21. This one is super throwback from 2011. This dress is ideal if you’re going out on the town in Hollywood, Vegas or any nightlife outing.

#TBT Wore this leopard print Sweetheart Neckline dress back in 2011. Wish I could find it in a different color without the leopard. 💄👠💃

Here’s a romper from Wet Seal. Shoes are from BORN sandals. I can’t find them anywhere and want another pair. It must have been a Nordstrom exclusive.
