My Perfect Summer Dress – Worn Two Ways

August 22, 2017

Amazon Floral Slit-Front Dress - Denim JacketHello, hello, my loves!
If you’re reading this after seeing my post on Instagram, you will already know the news… these long locks are no more! My photographer brought to my attention, actually the afternoon of my big chop, that I still had one last post to share before the big reveal. She asked me if I was going to look back at our shoot, this shot in particular, and regret my decision. More about that in my next post!
For now, I just want to rave some more about this perfect maxi dress that I discovered while browsing around on Amazon’s prime day. It wasn’t included in the deals, but that didn’t matter, because it was still under $30! It comes in like a bagillion colors, OK, closer to 35, but I fell in love with this one because the print reminded me of something Reformation would create. I have neither the budget for that brand, nor am I even sure that they carry my size, plus there’s Amazon Prime soooo.
I wanted to share a couple of different ways to style a dress like this, because first instinct would be to throw on a pair of flat sandals and call it a day. For the first look, I chose some brand new white sneaks, a denim jacket, little crossbody bag and delicate layered necklaces. This is so perfect for brunch with the girls or a date where you know you’ll be walking a bunch. Later on in the post, I paired it with some mixed-metal mules, my favorite O-ring bag, and some oversized sunnies. I’d definitely wear this to go shopping or grabbing a quick dinner with the boyfriend. I hope you enjoy the looks!

Ruffle Floral Midi Dress

July 13, 2017

Ruffle Floral Midi Dress - I Shop Simply EmmaHello, loves!
Sorry for the procrastination that led to not getting this post up sooner, but I feel like I’ve been stuck in vacation mode ever since Mark and I returned from the Central Coast. We had so much fun celebrating his 30th birthday, from dining with a view of the Morro rock, to exploring the private cottages at Hearst Castle, to wine-tasting on a walking tour in Santa Barbara.. Why would anyone ever want to return to real life? But alas, we’re both back to work and braving this Southern California heat. I guess it makes it all the more special and exciting to look forward to the next fun trip!
Speaking of special, this dress from I Shop Simply immediately caught my eye when I came across it on their site, thanks to the vivid print and cute little ruffle detail on the skirt. I pictured myself twirling around town in it, which I of course had to demonstrate! Be sure to use the code created for my readers, “dressedfortime” to save 15% on your order. I’ve also been loving these heeled sandals from JustFab. They’re called “Sanoura” and I own them in 5 colors! The Green and Cobalt Velvet are on super sale right now. Comfy, cute and reasonably priced.. I’m sensing a theme here 😉

Day Date Maxi Look

June 25, 2017

Day Date Maxi Look
Hello, loves! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite maxi dresses for summer, the Kaia from Ellie & Adair. It’s definitely an item I would call an elevated basic, because it’s simple and can be dressed up or down, but it has some extra little details. This maxi features collarbone-grazing cutouts, knee-high slits, and… pockets! It’s also the softest stretch material and is so comfy to lounge around in, or it can totally be dressed up for a day date or the material at the bottom can be tied and worn for a GNO with some heeled sandals and a statement necklace.

When pulling the accessories to bring this dress to life, I knew I wanted to keep it playful and casual. I grabbed the necklace to add some color and a touch of glam, the sandals for comfort and simplicity, a denim button down for texture, and a crossbody bag only big enough for the essentials. I felt the look was missing something, so I tried on this panama hat. Just in case you all hadn’t noticed, I rarely wear hats, and only own a handful. They’re just not an accessory I reach for, and I think that’s because I am under the impression that I have an oddly shaped head. Most hats just  don’t fit my head right! I love a floppy sun hat, but most fedoras, caps, etc., I think are super unflattering on me. This one though called to me, and I’ve worn it several times since purchasing. I thought it perfectly went along with the casual, not-trying-too-hard vibe I was going for, and totally a look I would wear for a day date with the boyfriend.

If you love this dress as much as I do, you can shop it now at Ellie & Adair, just make sure to use code VIP15 at checkout to save 15% off your total purchase AND free shipping!

Celebrating Besties with Efy Tal

June 14, 2017

Celebrating Besties with Efy Tal Hello, loves!
For today’s post, I want to talk about something that I think is not done often enough, and that’s recognizing how amazing of our best friends are. Whether you have that one girlfriend that you’re super close with or a bevy of lovely ladies who you count as besties, it’s so important to celebrate them, and with more than a round of drinks!
My best friends have nursed me through breakups, helped me move, been there for me when times were generally crappy (being broke, single, and jobless? Yeah, only a true friend will stand beside you through all that!) But my friends are also the ones I want to tell first whenever something good happens, and ask them to celebrate with me any successes or hurdles I’ve overcome.
Besides the typical birthday or holiday gift, I think it’s so important to show your girls how much they mean to you, and I love the idea of bringing back friendship jewelry! I’m referring, of course, to the refined and completely grown-up version of the rainbow plastic and jagged heart iterations of our youth, and I love that they can still be customized to fit everyone’s personalities.
The selection at Efy Tal can not be beat for friendship jewelry, and I love that nearly every offering is under $50. I chose for my gorgeous friend Sarah and myself the Dainty Gold and Pearl Eternity Circle Bracelet, and the Asymmetrical Infinity Gold and Turquoise bracelet, respectively, to model for this post. Sarah instantly fell in love with them, and I will say, I could definitely see myself wearing both styles as well! Most pieces are available in silver and gold, with fun accents like a pearl or beads, and the bracelets have a delicate little charm and crystal where you affix them, an added detail I think is so special. This is something in the not-too-distant future to consider as well, but these are absolutely gifts that I would get for all of my bestie bridesmaids when the time comes.
If you’re interested in shopping Efy Tal for your best friends or yourself (no shame in that!), they’re offering a 30% off code to all of my subscribers with code “DRESSEDFORTIME” at checkout.
