Olive Dress

August 2016

Hello there! How’s your week going? I am currently writing this from my favorite coffeehouse… sitting in a cinnamon bun food coma and feeling half guilty (…I am 6 weeks away from the wedding, right? *insert monkey emoji covering its eyes here*) and told myself I’d “be good” to my body and try to eat cleaner leading up to the big day… but alas, they ran out of breakfast tacos (…because that’s better for me, right? 😉 ) sooo… the cinnamon bun it was! Oh well, I can start at lunchtime, I guess…ha!

I posted this outfit on my Instagram feed last night and I had so many people ask about this dress! Thus, forgive the iPhone photography (I left my memory card at home when we went out to shoot this look..oops!) buuut here it is in blog post form – and PS. my dress & shoes are both on S A L E for just a few days more during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

This gorgeous and ultra soft body-con, cowl neck dress is only available in limited sizes in the grey color (seriously.. everything sells out so quick in this sale!) but I linked out to more adorable similar body-con dresses at the end of this post for y’all in case they don’t have your size anymore! My shoes are still available and y’all – these are SO GORGEOUS!!! Super comfy and light weight, they come in three colors (taupe, wine, black) and they’re on sale for $79 (reg. $130), so I highly recommend scooping up a pair for yourself… these are already coming in handy this summer, let alone once cooler temperatures head our way (…also great from work to play!).

My handbag is by Gigi New York and I’m actually hosting a giveaway over on my Instagram feed this week where YOU can win one for yourself!! I am a huge fan of this brand (…more like obsessed..I wear my “Stella Clutch” ALL the time (y’all know the one, see it in this post), so I am very excited to add this pretty taupe number to my handbag repertoire!) and am excited to spread the love and give y’all the chance to win one for yourself (you choose your color and monogram, wahoo!). You can enter on this post over on my Instagram feed – good luck!!

Lastly, my sunglasses are Prada and yes… I totally went and bought the black pair (I have the tortoise shell already!) but truly – I have never felt so beautiful in a pair of sunglasses, not to mention you can’t go wrong with classic black cat-eye frames.. they are so chic and classy, love these and highly recommend! (I know they’re an investment, but totally worth it if you’re a sunglass kinda gal and treat your sunglasses like they’re small children, ha! I am SO careful with mine and hold onto them forever!).
