Isn’t this the prettiest striped summer maxi dress? It’s the other piece I ordered when I decided to try the Rachel Parcell line (see my first one here). The sleeves and flattering v-neck are such nice touches. I don’t usually opt for a true empire waist as I prefer one that hits at my natural waist, but this dress swayed me. I’m wearing my normal size, and it just fits especially in the top area. I think this is mainly…
When To Tuck and Not Tuck Your Shirt Plus How – Your Guide to Front Tuck, Full Tuck, & Tie I recently asked for post topic suggestions on my Instagram story and got some great responses. One was about when to tuck your shirt in as opposed to leaving it out, when to only front tuck, how to front tuck, what about tying it on the side, etc? I thought this was such a good question, so today I am…
This is the second part in this related series about shopping and my budget. I decided to break it into two parts because it was hard to share about how to shop on a budget without sharing what my budget actually was as a fashion blogger. I did that in my post here. If you didn’t read it, it’s worth looking back at. The answer just might surprise you! I am pretty budget conscious because everything I spend takes away…
When I did my poll on Instagram asking for post topics, one of the questions I was asked was how to shop on a budget. Today I am here to deliver on that question with my thoughts as a fashion blogger. I’ve posted about this exact topic before here. It’s worth a read because nothing has really changed for me. This will be part one in a series to fully answer because it started to get long. I’ll share a…
Trending Now: Camo Everything Camo everything is currently trending right now, and I admit I was a little hesitant to try it. It could be the “Are you going hunting?” and “Ivy Jean, where’s momma?” jokes I knew I would and did get from Russ. He thinks he is sooo funny. 😉 This $29 v-neck tee sold me though. I thought it would be the perfect way to try the trend, and I admit I am pretty smitten. I love…
Fall Transition Look – Dark Florals One of the biggest trends for fall 2018 is prints! Whether animal print in the form of leopard (even in different colors), zebra, or dots like dalmatian, plaid, or floral, you can pretty much guarantee you will see bold prints this season. I have always been a floral print lover, so it is easy for me to jump on the bandwagon with this particular part of the trend. In fact, dark florals have always…
I recently posted a work outfit on my Instagram story that was a striped midi skirt with a striped blouse, and it got me thinking about print mixing. I love to wear prints together, and I think it can really make for an amazing outfit. Over the years I have gotten more and more comfortable with it as part of my regular dressing routine, so today I thought I would break down how to mix prints in 3 easy ways.…
How to Style A t-Shirt Dress Casually Have you all tried ordering anything from the Rachel Parcell line? I have admired it and recently ordered a couple things from the Everyday Shop, her more affordable line. This is the cutest t-shirt dress. I loved the ruffle sleeves and sort of vintage coloring. T-shirt dresses are so great because they are so versatile and basically feel like wearing pjs in public which is a total win! When considering how to style…
Well friends, here we are. Infertility round two. Though we knew it might be a possibility we dared to hope we wouldn’t walk this road again. If you are unfamiliar with our story, you can read my original post about our infertility journey here, our pregnancy announcement here, and then Ivy Jean’s birth story here. Oftentimes with endometriosis a healthy pregnancy improves the chances of a natural one following. With consultation from our doctor, we began trying to have a…
Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope you all are having a good week. If you caught my Instagram stories or posts this weekend then you know we went to Alabama to visit Russ’s family. We got back late Sunday night, and we are getting back in the routine this week. It was so great to see all of his extended family, and I feel very grateful to have wonderful family on both sides. It’s fun to see Ivy Jean interact with everyone.…
