My Go-To J-Crew Factory Summer Work Dress

June 30, 2017 No Comments

The Friday before a holiday weekend is always exciting, BUT the Fourth of July decided to fall on a Tuesday this year. For the unlucky few, we still gotta go to work on Monday! What a tease… Oh well, maybe I can do some online shopping at work. Shh! Currently, everything at J.Crew Factory, both in-store and online, is 50% off, including my favorite go-to work dress. I LOVE a good striped dress, and if I must confess, I have the counterpart to this dress, which is white with black stripes. And yes, there totally is a difference.

The Basic Black Tank Dress, 3 Ways – Part 2

June 27, 2017 No Comments

Hi Friends! I had an unplanned week of hiatus from the blog and social media, but for good reason. My dad had a stroke last week and we spent almost a week in the hospital. After some prayers and perseverance, he is back home and doing great. So great, that I am running after him trying to make him sit down so I can take his blood pressure! Dads never want to listen… In the end, events like this make you thankful for the people around you who help you through it. So to all of you who sent me texts, messages, comments, and phone calls, I appreciate you so much. xoxo

Now onto the clothes. I bring to you, Part 2 of The Basic Black Tank Dress, Styled 3 Ways. You an catch Part 1 here. As mentioned in that post, my basic black tank dress is from Lou & Grey, and I absolutely love it. There are only a few sizes left in this exact one, but you can get a classic black tank dress anywhere and at any price point!

The Perfect Embroidered Dress – Free People Minidress

June 13, 2017 No Comments

Another week has started, and I cannot believe how fast time is flying by! And oh my, has the weather in DC taken a turn. We are in full-blown summer mode and it is sweltering! This past weekend, I laid out by my pool, and could only sit for about an hour before I was roasting. But it has not been hot long enough for the pool water to be warm, so it was ice cold! What a dilemma! The end result? I went inside and laid on the couch while the ceiling fan was going…HA!

The Cutest Little White Dress – ASOS Smock Dress

June 1, 2017 No Comments

In my continuing posts about little white dresses (LWD) for the warm weather, I bring you this ASOS Smock Dress. If I do say so myself, it is the cutest little white dress and I cannot wait to wear it for an afternoon of wine tasting or a fun day just hanging around the city. This dress has loose sleeves and a cute high waist, that I find very flattering. I also got it in Petite, so it fits perfectly and hits me right about my knees, so I don’t have to alter it. For $40, I think it is such a steal! The dress is ASOS brand, which I really like. ASOS sells lots of other brands, and the quality and price can greatly vary throughout the site. However, the ASOS brand is well-priced and the fabrics and designs usually look very high-end.
