Summer Ruffles

This dress is always in, season after season - you can never have too many denim off the shoulder dresses. So, I officially added another one to my collection from Chicwish! I LOVE this one because it's a little heavier then my others so it lays really well on and it has the cutest little elastic ruffle along the shoulders. It's always my go to summer dress.

And you'll notice halfway through I changed my shoes to show y'all the coolest company! Rescue Flats are cute little cold flats that fold up and fit in any purse. So you need them for all those summer weddings coming up! And PS - brides, these would be awesome gifts for your bridesmaids!

Is it Spring Yet?

Pink? Ruffles? Flowers? Check, check, check. Pretty sure my 5 year old self loves this dress just as much as my 24 year old self does. I am in love with this pretty blush number! It's from my favorite local boutique, Shop Maude. Not only is it fun to twirl in (obvious bonus) but it's perfect for spring - which will be here before we know it! It is spaghetti straps, so you could easily wear it on it's own, but while it's still a little cool out, I'll be wearing mine with a denim jacket! 

And little tip - I was browsing through Anthropologie's website the other day and low and behold I saw this very dress....for $60 MORE! What? That's nonsense. Grab this beauty for a steal while you can here!

I also wore my hair up in a milkmaid braid (so easy - just two braids pinned up) which I find is a perfect pair for jean jackets, or really anything with a collar. I find that wearing your hair up with collars always makes it look a little sleeker. And of course I pulled out my favorite pair of statement earrings (yes...I have them in multiple colors).

Christmas Eve

It's almost here! I love Christmas time. Celebrating the birth of my Lord and Savior while eating ridiculous amounts of food with the people I love - it doesn't get much better! But along with all the holiday celebrations comes party attire. I searched long and hard for the perfect Christmas dress and I finally found it. This ruffle dress from Camilyn Beth is to DIE for. It's the perfect shade of cranberry and has the cutest little gold snaps on the back. And the best part is that I can continue to wear this dress all year - even in the summer, it's the perfect dress for any formal affair. 

Obviously once you find the perfect dress, you also have to find the perfect accessories. Because I couldn't wear a necklace with this dress I chose to pair it with some serious statement earrings. These blingy long earrings are some of my all-time favorites, but they're clearly on the dressier side so I can only pull them out every once in a while. I also added this gorgeous ring from Chloe and Isabel (be sure to visit my friend Sarah Rose's shop). It's still a statement piece, but it's neutral enough to go with anything! 

I hope you all are enjoying the holidays with your loved ones! The details for this look are linked below.
