Midi

I’m not very tall, at only 5’3″, so I typically shy away from midi-length dresses and skirts since I sometimes think they tend to swallow me up.  But that’s not to say I don’t keep trying to find styles in this length that work for me.  So I was pleasantly surprised when I found a couple of midi-length dresses at the Gap recently that are not only super soft and comfy, but are also really flattering (you can see the other midi-dress here).  Plus this dress will look great with a leather jacket during the Fall season.  DSC_2717 DSC_2719 DSC_2783 DSC_2737 DSC_2732 DSC_2761 DSC_2729 DSC_2782

Transitioning

I’m having a hard time believing that it’s already August.  And I can’t help but find myself starting to think about Fall, and purchasing transitional and Fall specific pieces.

So in today’s post, I wanted to share with you this super cute dress and how I’m wearing it now, and how I’m going to wear it when the temperatures start dropping.  Like I’ve said a lot on this blog, I love re-styling items and investing in pieces that will get a lot of use in my wardrobe.

P.S. How cute is my sweet Chloe girl?  She normally hates having her picture taken, but insisted on making a cameo in this post! 🙂

 

 

Fringe

First of all, I LOVE the splatter print of this dress.  There is just something so nostalgic about it to me.  I think it’s because it reminds me of a denim jacket I had when I was a kid with neon splatter paint all over it!

And second, can we talk about how amazing this necklace is?  One of my best friends gifted it to me and I am OBSESSED!  Plus, it’s less than $20.  Talk about the perfect statement piece to add to your wardrobe this summer!

Midi

I am on the short side at 5’3″, so I tend to shy away from midi-style dresses and skirts.  Because of my smaller stature, longer lengths typically tend to swallow me up and not be particularly flattering.  But because it’s a style I love, I do keep trying it in different silhouettes and prints as the seasons change, hoping to find something that will work for me.  And this spring,  I FINALLY found a midi-dress that is not only comfy and has pockets, but the print and style actually work well for my shorter frame.
