Linen White Dress

 All y'all ready for another white dress? 

I literally can't help myself. I think I love a good white dress more than a LBD.

Technically I already shared this one in this post with the cherry blossoms. However, it's such a great dress I thought I would share it again without the leather jacket. 

This one is great because even though it's a maxi dress, it's linen, which means it's super lightweight. (If you missed my Instagram post the other day I talked about why linen is a summer must have.)

It also has the cutest little tie back detail! I can promise you this isn't the last time you will see this dress. 

White dresses are definitely a closet staple for me April-September.

White Ruffle Dress

 Wow!
What a week! And it's only Tuesday. 
We have been having so many technical issues lately. The latest is my Mac-book may or may not be DUNZO!! J is taking it to work tomorrow to have some tech guys look at it. Cross your fingers for me that they can save it. 
Let's talk about this outfit though. I am obsessed!! When we shot this outfit I instantly fell in love with all the photos. It turned out so perfectly. You know when you imagine something in your head and it ends up working out exactly like you thought or better? That's what happened here. 
This dress is part of the LoveShackFancy collection with Target. I browsed the collection when it first launched, but didn't pull the trigger on anything. We were at the height of quarantine and while the thought was nice I just knew I had no where to wear a dress like this. Fast forward a few months to walking around Target and seeing it was 50% off. I still have no where to wear it, but at that price I couldn't pass it up. I love all the ruffles and little lace details. I kept things simple with sandals, a nude purse and my favorite hat. This would be perfect for brunch, a girls day, or really anything!! Ditch the hat and you have a great date night look! 
This dress has since sold out online, but I have linked some similar options. I would also suggest checking your store. You just might get lucky.

What are you shopping for now? Are you back to work and back to normal clothing? Still working from home and only purchasing lounge-wear?  Let me know if the comments below so I can share more of what y'all are currently needing? I am working from home and trying to get myself to wear normal clothes on a more regular basis. While I don't have to I definitely miss my jeans, dresses, skirts, etc. 

P.S. If you are wondering why the photo content is sorely lacking on this post it all goes back to my Mac-book breaking. All my photos are on there and when I went to put my sim card in J's computer... it didn't have the right slot for it. L O L!!! Naturally! So until I can get my computer back the photos are limited. 

Bridal Shower Dress

Happy Tuesday! 

I wanted to take a little break from Nsale coverage today and share this dress with y'all. I've been wanting to share it for a while because Vici Dolls always sells out super fast, but I have just been so dang busy. 

The good news is it's still available in size small and you can sign up for email notifications for the other sizes. 

I first saw this dress on Styled Snapshots Instagram and knew I just had to have it. (I've always been a sucker for white, but now that I need options for bridal showers, my bachelorette party, etc. I have been going crazy with the white outfits.

This dress is a little outside my comfort zone since it's so fitted. I usually shy away from fitted dresses because I have pretty curvy hips. However, I've been trying to challenge myself to embrace my curves and reach for fitted dresses from time to time. My tip for making myself feel comfortable is going up a size. I'm usually a medium, but opted for the large so that it wouldn't be too tight. (This is especially important if the garment is a lighter color. Black you should be ok to choose your regular size.) 

I'm obsessed with this dress and can't wait to wear it to my bridal shower. I love that it's slightly sexy with the fit, slit, and cut-out, but I won't feel uncomfortable wearing it around my family at the shower. 

Dress: Vici Dolls | Shoes: Target | Sunnies: Old (similar here & here)

I would have accessorized with these earrings if I wasn't in the biggest hurry and layered a different outfit over this one. haha

What are your trouble areas when picking out clothes? I challenge you to embrace whatever your hang-ups are and pick something outside your comfort zone in the near future. One thing I have always thought to be true is that anyone can wear anything as long as it fits right. So embrace your butt, arms, stomach, thighs, whatever it is and rock something you like but normally wouldn't. 

Cali Girl Style

Happy November! I can’t believe it’s November 1^st! Want an even scarier thought? Thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away!! It’s crazy!

Anyway, enough about how it’s already November let’s talk about this dress. I originally bought this dress for our engagement party, but I knew I had to take it with me to California the following week as well.  I mean this dress is a total Cali girl dress! The skirt is so effortless and really gives it a cool girl vibe. The eyelet on top makes it really girly and sweet. I also love that the sleeves are longer and you can either button them to keep them long or unbutton them and bunch them up. I will say I was a little worried about the deep V because I do have a bit of a chest. I just wore petals and used double-sided tape to secure it and felt totally comfortable.

Going into fall/winter I know this dress doesn’t totally make sense. However, I do think it would look cute paired with some boots or booties if you do want to transition it. It also comes in black and a rust color that would be so perfect for fall!

What are everyone’s plans for the weekend? We have like 1000 birthdays to celebrate so that’s basically our plans all weekend. Haha

Thanks for stopping by and reading. I truly appreciate each and every one of you! 

LWD (Little White Dress)

Hey y’all!

So we all have our favorite LBD (little black dress), but I also love a good LWD (little white dress) and think it’s a great alternative in the spring and summer months.

 I have more than a couple in my closet and I am always on the lookout for more. When shopping for white dresses there’s a few things to keep in mind, as white can present some challenges. (These are good tips to keep in mind when buying anything white.) For starters, many white dresses are ETREMELY sheer! Don’t let this discourage you from a dress, just be aware. I like to check the dress out in very bright light to test this. If it is sheer, invest in a good slip and you’ll be good to go. Another thing to be aware of with white clothing, especially if it’s on the tighter side is that it is NOT forgiving. If black conceals everything white does the exact opposite. With that being said, don’t be afraid to go up a size when it comes to white.

I love adding bright accessories to white dresses. I think it gives them a real summery feel as you can see below with my teal statement earrings and pink lips.

Unfortunately, my dress is no longer available but I have linked a TON of other LWD options below.
