Style Persepctives: summer dress
Wednesday, June 01, 2016
I cannot believe it's the last week of the blended blogs style perspectives. It's been so much fun playing along each week. Make sure you've stopped by The Blended Blog to see Andreas pretty look.
First off, lets recap last weeks theme (that was mine):
Moving on to this week!
Funny story about this dress. 6 weeks ago when I tried it on I looked like sausage in casing. Now it fits ! I'm trying not to buy any new clothing for a while so I was glad when this fit for today's prompt !
First pic, my 11 year old took this morning. She took 8 photos, all out of focus, I could salvage this one:

LOVE that print, you look cute as can be!!! I adore how you added the olive utility hacked, it spices up a summer dress so well!! I would wear that over lots of dresses. You're a stunner sweet friend!!
ReplyDeleteAlso love how you paired it with the olive jacket. Hope you like the lipgloss. It stays on FOREVER. You can play with the colour intensity too, I ended up keeping Koko K...must more suited for you!
ReplyDeleteI love the color on you. A dark lipstick with dark hair is divine. I love my lip kits. I have 2 that are lighter, but next time I'm going bold. And like Dee said, they stay on all day. I eat and go to the gym and BAM my lipstick is still on!
ReplyDeleteHappy dance that the dress now fits! It looks amazing on you! Loving that dark lipstick on you. Loving this whole outfit and quite frankly I never would have thought to pair with the olive jacket, looks great!
ReplyDeleteYay for shopping your closet and having new things to wear because they fit! I really like the dress paired with the jacket. That's a really versatile jacket that you'll be able to pair with many things!

Keep at it Nicole! So glad your dress fits better, which a testament to your endurance. Yay, you!!
ReplyDeletefirst, you look fan-freaking-tastic, for real. Second, your daughter's crappy pics are better than my best... that makes me laugh and feel slightly inadequate all at the same time. Clearly, I should have married a photographer.
ReplyDeleteAlso, 4 years ago today you were photographing me at my wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the end.
Look at that sassy body, lady! Really looking good. Love the lip color. And, of course, the green jacket. Such a great green...not that there are any bad greens. Perfectly paired with your dress, which, IMO is a bit loose on you!!!! XO
ReplyDeleteYou have such a knack for pairing pieces! Come style me!! Also, love those lips and that dress looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute dress!!
