Little White Dress

 

I definitely am a "rule" breaker and wear white all year round! But, I definitely reach for the color more often when the weather gets warmer, especially white dresses. I always browse new spring and summer arrivals for a new white dress to add to my wardrobe each season- lets face it, some white pieces can only last a season or two if you're prone to spilling (me). When I found this dress, I knew it was a good one! Also, this would be such the perfect outfit for the upcoming holiday weekend!!




I saw this dress a month or so ago, and knew it had to be in my summer wardrobe. I loved the puffed sleeve, full skirt and length. I have so many midi/maxi dresses in my closet, and was so excited to add something a little shorter. It was a pretty instant add to cart and order. Funny story about getting it in the mail- when it came I was so excited and I opened it to find a floral printed skirt. Totally the opposite of what I ordered 😂. I got a good laugh out of it, and just thought someone was having an off day at the warehouse, and that is totally human. I took it back to J. Crew, and they were so nice, and reordered the dress with the same discount I bought it for. 

Sizing on this dress is kind of strange. It is a true wrap dress with a removable lining. I got my usual J. Crew size small in the dress. The lining is a straight cut, and fits me perfectly, but the dress part is very big. I would say size down one, unless you have a curvier bottom, like myself, then the lining could be a little snug if you size down. I think I am going to sew in another loop for the inside button to fit it a little better. Overall, I still recommend. The full skirt on it is SO fun!




Yes, I styled this with my trusty espadrilles and wicker bag (similar)! You know by know that these are my favorite spring and summer accessories. I should really add a couple of more wicker bags and espadrilles to my collection because I use and wear them so often- I have been eyeing this bag with pearls. But you just cannot beat a simple, clean white dress with my favorite accessories! Do you have any favorite accessories on repeat this time of year? I also wore some fun white statement earrings to add a statement but not take away from the simplicity of a white dress

As always,

A Thanksgiving Look

Turtleneck  |   Skirt  |   Tights  |   Boots Thanksgiving is only one week away! I am excited to go home, and spend time with my family and friends. This is a holiday that is HARD to dress for. On one hand, you want to wear joggers and a big sweater because of all of the yummy food and treats. On the other hand, you want to dress up, or slightly dress up while still feeling comfy. Hence, the big dressing dilemma: how to create the right look for your kind of holiday? I like to dress it up a little , without wearing a cocktail outfit or gown, haha. I created this look for a dressy, casual look. It is an easy outfit to put together, and I bet you have some similar pieces in your closet! A turtleneck, plaid skirt and tights is such a classic fall look that is also great for this holiday. It is kind of an easy dressing equation too because it is so easy to mix and match what you have in your closet, or buy one new piece that you know will go with an...

Tied with Tartan

  Happy Monday, friends! It is December, and that means you can catch me wearing plaid about every day. I wore this dress the other week, and have showed it on my Instagram, but it is still on sale, so I thought this outfit needed its own post! Dress | Shoes c/o (use libby10 for 10% off at Margaux ) | Headband J. Crew always puts out some of the best holiday pieces, in my opinion. I love all the of the plaids because they just feel so classic and timeless, and I know I will be able to wear them for forever. This new dress caught my eye this year: it is plaid, a shirt dress, AND has ruffles! I was instantly sold, and even more so during their holiday sales. And, it is still on sale- its 50% off with an extra 20% off with code FESTIVE! I am wearing a size small, and it is not too short on me. I do think, as with all J. Crew, that it runs a tad big, so you could definitely size down (I miraculously could have fit into a xs). It doesn't button all the way down, which I think is a ...

My Gal Meets Glam Collection

Hello! You might have already figured this out, but I have a serious obsession with every single Gal Meets Glam dress and collection . I feel like I am starting to grow quite the collection of the insanely beautiful dresses. I recently did a poll on my Instagram, and you guys said that you wanted to see my collection. I have compiled pictures from older posts, and from my iPhone to show you! I have purchased all of these on sale, or received them as gifts (thanks mom). I think getting them on sale is my secret for buying Gal Meets Glam dresses. They are 100% worth the investment, and will always be in style because they are such classic pieces and silhouettes. A new collection comes out about every month, and every month I look at it, and think: I want it all!! The next drop is March 13th, and I am so excited!! I have added the name of each dress below the picture. Because these are from the "older" collections, I cannot find most of the links. But here are my tips if you...
