Easy Breezy

Easy Breezy!

That is all that comes to mind when I think about this dress.

I think there are a few reasons for that. 

The first is because it is such a great easy throw on and go piece. Style it with some flats, simple jewels, a purse and you are ready to go. You could also throw on a cute straw hat for some sun protection. I meant the options are really endless.

Now for the "breezy" part. 

This dress is super lightweight and honestly just flows in the breeze. 

I tend to tie it up since I'm a bit on the shorter side, but it still has a ton of movement. 

The last part is the print. This blue subtle tie dye is an absolute dream! 

We all know tie dye is THE TREND of the season. I like that this dress takes on that trend, but in a super subtle not in your face way!

I have this dress in 2 other colorways and will probably buy it in at least 1 more before the summer is over.

Y'all know I am all about a good staple piece and in multiple colors! 

I hope you are having a great week! I am SO ready for this 3 day weekend. 

It is definitely much needed! 

Thanks for stopping by and following along! 

I really appreciate it!

Bell Sleeves

So I’m not gonna lie, I kinda forgot about Zara a little bit.  When I lived in NYC, I would pop into one probably once a week because they are EVERYWHERE! After moving back to Florida, I always forget that I’m lucky to have one at the mall close to me. (They are few and far in-between here.)

Anyway, I finally stopped by the other day and I want literally EVERYTHING!

No seriously, Zara just take all my money right now.

I had to quickly reel it in and talk myself out of spending all my money. Nevertheless, I did walk out with a few pieces I love including this dress.

Let me tell you this dress is not practical for work.

For starters, it wrinkles while you’re sitting at your desk all day. Big sleeves, plus open pens, drink cups; papers and typing don’t exactly mix. In addition, it has built in shorts so if you drink a lot of coffee, water, diet dr. pepper like I do during the day, and have to pee every 5 minutes it can be a real pain.

Now that I have given you a million (ok 3) reasons not to buy this dress, I’m going to tell you to forget about all that and buy it anyway. Because it’s cute and that’s really all that matters! Seriously, how can you live without this dress? I mean look at these sleeves! And the pinstripes…I’m dying! Sometimes (or all the time if you’re me) cute and fun, beats out practical and functional.

Christmas Dress

Happy Friday!

I am so happy the week is almost over. I still have to work tomorrow but it’s my last Saturday of the year, so that’s something to celebrate.

Wednesday I showed you what to wear to a tacky sweater party and today I’m talking about what to wear to something a little more sophisticated.

 When I first saw this dress, I was immediately drawn to the color and thought Christmas Party!!

The ruffle detail makes it classy and is completely on trend. I also like the drop waist, which is unusual because that style typically doesn’t flatter my body. I think the material and double layer is what makes it work.

The best part about this dress is there is a million ways to style it. I kept it simple since it’s been hot and paired it with nude cutout booties, gold jewels, and a gold clutch. However, it would also look cute with black tights and black heels or OTK boots. The possibilities are endless with this perfect holiday dress.

The good news is you can still get it in time for Christmas Eve if you order and select next day shipping. If you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg in shipping cost, I suggest checking your local BCBGeneration.

Hope y’all have a great weekend and if you have any last minute Christmas shopping to do, I hope it’s not too crazy out there!
