It's a Garden Party!

You know when you see something while you're shopping, and you get that feeling like, "I HAVE to have this?" You don't have any idea where you'll wear it at the time, or when you'll get the chance to wear it in the near future, but that piece of clothing just has to be yours...That's the exact feeling I had when I saw this dress at Lulu's. This dress is literally breathtaking; breathtaking in its appearance, breathtaking in its quality, and most importantly, breathtaking in how it makes you feel when you put it on. A girl can't ask for much more than that.

White and lace have both been trending this spring/summer, and they couldn't come together more perfectly than in a midi silhouette like this dress. It's clean, fresh and flattering for a variety of ages - a midi length is always a safe bet. The floral lace makes this dress perfect for a garden party or any type of bridal or baby shower - I'll take advantage of any chance I get to dress up! I've also thought about whether or not this would be a good option for a wedding, and I go back and forth on whether or not that's a smart idea - what are your thoughts on wearing white to a wedding??! Leave a comment below and let me know your thoughts! I've always been one to push the fashion "rules," but I'm very torn on this issue.

Happy shopping Loves! xoxo

Indian Summer

This fall, I've been showing some major love for my cozy oversize sweaters. But when we experienced an Indian summer last week with temperatures hitting the low 70's, I was elated for the chance to get one more use out of a few of my fall dresses. I love the midi hemline of this dress, which is perfect for the workplace while still showing a little skin (although a little pale - how have I lost all of my tan already?!). Add to that the fact that this dress incorporates the oh so popular color of the year, marsala, and we have a great combo. It was a little chilly in the morning, so I threw on this fitted leather jacket from Express. It worked to wear it open and show the neckline of the dress, or wear it partially zipped to accentuate my waist. If you live in a warmer part of the country, throw an unbuttoned sheer blouse over the top and tie it up at the waist for a fun and flirty take on this versatile dress.
