A versatile dress – Dress it up or dress it down

June 9, 2018

When I saw this dress, I really wanted to style it for several reasons. It was available at a discounted price for $36. It also has the prettiest floral details and this gold color is what I’ve been reaching for lately. The subtle pink details on the dress are intriguing to me. It’s such a versatile summer dress I thought it could be dressed up or dressed down. So I’m showing you how I’m styling it 2 ways, only changing a couple accessories and hairstyle. Meaning you could literally spend just a couple minutes and go from a day look to a night look with this dress!

Dress it up

I’m going to show you how I dress it up first. Because it’s more fun to dress up (in my opinion anyways). I wanted to bring out the subtle pink details on the dress, hence I paired it with my pink acrylic Cult Gaia bag, and pink Kendra Scott earrings. Lunch or dinner date, showers, garden weddings, you name it. This look is playful but still elegant.

Dress it down

But you don’t always get to dress up. Sometimes you just want a cute outfit to go around town, visit a tourist attraction, maybe meet up with your girlfriends for coffee. Throw on kitten heels, a cute tote bag and you’re ready to head out the door!

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

Lots of tulle and organza! 🩵 These are what we wore to my baby shower last year. Lucy picked out her dress herself. I had wanted her to wear blue but she couldn’t pass up the chance to wear this fluffy glittery number 💕

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.

It has been the best experience with recovery and breastfeeding I’ve had between the 2 children. And we can’t get enough of Mr. Colt’s smiles and snuggles 🧸.
