THE DRESS

 

Since I first showed this dress, I have been waiting for it to be included in a sale (I think everyone is, aha). I feel like this is the week that it will be on sale! If you read my Tartan round-up post yesterday, you know that I look forward to new plaid styles every season. When this dress dropped, I could not resist it. Smocking has been so in, and I feel like it is sticking around for awhile, that I was so excited to see this black watch smocked dress with a puffed sleeve! Its all my favorite more grandmillennial style elements wrapped up in one sweet *plaid* dress. I do not say this often, but this dress is a need. It is a flannel material, so it is perfectly soft and comfortable. I think it is the perfect mix of feeling dressed up for a holiday, but staying comfy for a day full of treats and celebrating. There is so many ways to style this up, too. I dressed it up a bit with these heels, but you could try flats, booties or a classic pump. As soon as I confirm that this dress is on sale, I will be plastering the link all over my social medias. So come back to the blog or make sure to follow along on Instagram/TikTok- @libbylovespearls.

This will probably be my Thanksgiving outfit, minus the heels haha.

    That smocked puff-sleeve dress from J.Crew in midnight emerald tartan looks swingy, fashionable, comfortable, and fabulous to wear for a wide variety of occasions.
    Your outfit photos are excellent - I love the setting you chose for them!

Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic

  Who else has been loving the  Coastal Grandmother aesthetic trend on TikTok? I've been very engrossed in this trend that is actually not at all trendy and a nod to classic style, which I LOVE. Classic summer style is one of my favorite facets of classic style- linen dresses and pants, sun hats, walks on the beach and lots of rosé. This is literally me. And I consider myself a grandmillennial, so coastal grandmother is not too far off. Some may call it coast-grand-millennial ;) ALSO, a couple of weeks ago the Today Show did a segment on the trend, and featured a clip from one of my coastal gran TikToks! These are things you need to create your own coastal grandmother aesthetic, the coastal grandmother starter kit if you will. You probably have most of these things in your closet if you are a fellow classic style lover, like myself. So lets all live our lives as if we lived in a Nancy Meyers movie, and have the best coastal grandmother girl summer. Coast Grandmother Essentials...

What I Packed for Rhode Island

  I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult. As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new ap...

New Summer KJP (+ they're having a sale!!)

So today, I got the happiest email from Kiel James Patrick , featuring some super cute new pieces, and that they have a 4th of July sale!! The sale is 20% off any thing with the code America . I would definitely take advantage of this! Here are my favorite new things from KJP. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!! Striped shirt dress // I had all the feels when I saw this dress. First, it is striped AND a shirt dress! Second, it is actually named "Bristol Parade." That is the oldest 4th of July Parade in the country, and I had the privilege of marching in it during my high school marching band trip to New England in 2010 (omg that was 9 years ago?!?). That day it was about 110 degrees, and we wore all black uniforms....if you are familiar with the parade, it is a LONG LONG LONG route, and I somehow, barely survived. So, I think I need this dress for (just about) surviving that day, ahah! Flag sweater  // What a cute little flag sweater! I normally am not one ...
