Versatile Black Dress

-



  This dress is my favorite summer dress I bought. I am all in for a princess dress with pockets. What’s a princess dress you ask? It’s my interpretation of a casual dress that I feel like a princess in. It’s long, moveable, not form fitting, and maybe has a small train. Not sure if princess’s wear pockets, but this pretend one does. 
The fit is a tad bit larger, I would size down. Especially in length, I’m 5’9 and I am wearing a medium. I do want it longer so that I’m able to wear a heel with the dress too. It’s definitely suitable and flattering for all body types. 
Having pockets is something I am obsessed with when it comes to dresses.  I have worn this dress on the beach with a fedora and no shoes. I like to dress it up with lots of jewelry and a floppy hat.

I love this dress for a quick beach day to a romantic date night or fun girls wine night. All you need is jewelry change and a statement purse, for a pop of color. If you’re anything like me I am a shopper who looks for quick changes and versatility in outfits. Originally this dress is a swimsuit cover up.


This dress comes in blue and white strips, an olive, and the black that I bought.

STS Blue Boyfriend Jeans

Hey y'all, happy Friday!  So these STS Blue jeans I got at Nordstrom are gold. Sad news, after starting this post I saw that they no longer carry these specific ones. There is a newer version of them though. The exact style and all. These are called Taylor Tomboy and so are the new ones. The main difference between them are the amount of holes. I tried the new version on and they are the same fit too. I need a new pair. But I'm loosing weight like crazy so I'm waiting a few more weeks, and then I'll be purchasing the new ones and giving these  to my Mama. She's excited too. Back to the jeans- The fit is amazing. I love not having to worry about them being to tight when I go to lunch. I love that they are a high rise fit, everything is sucked in. Whether you are a mom running after kiddos all day or on a serious shopping day, they are perfect for the woman on the move. I would even pair these with an oversize sweatshirt while at a f...

Messy Hair Tutorial

Hey my girls! After lots of my friends & many of my gorgeous followers saying, "Teach me how to do your messy bun" I have it here, the How-To. This look is something I look forward to every week. A few things I want you to know about my hair is that it's mid-length and thick. This is important because my hair will look a little different than yours. However, if you have longer hair you'll be fine, there's enough length that you can pull more, [Step 6] creating a fuller look. Now if you have short hair, obviously its not going to look the same as mine. I think knowing this about my hair will help you all understand the correlation between mine and yours at home.  Alright, lets get to it!!  Before going into the steps of the actual bun, we need to go over some pre-work. Your hair needs to be completely straight. So all you naturally straight haired women, you have an advantage here.  Next, I believe that clean hair is the b...
