Generally off the shoulder dresses, shirts, rompers, etc. are not my jam because let's be honest when you are 30+ and a C cup, you need/want to wear a bra. Am I right?!? I am not a big fan of strapless bras but if you have a kind that you swear by I'd love to hear from you. That being said, this little dress has been in my closet now for 3 years and I wear it a lot. I just love how it feels and moves on my body. It's the perfect dress for extreme heat as it's breathable, light and flowy. I also love styling it with a belt or letting it flow. I wore this dress for Mother's Day weekend and it was absolutely the perfect mix of trendy and comfortable.
Since my dress is a few years old, I decided to gathered up a few options for you to check out that are out for spring/summer 2018.
Dex Printed Off-the-Shoulder Dress: You can't get much more trendy than this dress. Off the shoulder. Cute Print. Bell sleeves with little tie-up details. A ruffle wrap front. Sigh. I think I am in love. $34 CAN
Dex Stripe Off-the-Shoulder Dress: Want to update your stripes? This just might be the dress for you. $41 CAN
Guess Ombre Off-the-Shoulder Dress: Who says ombre is only a hair coloring term? I think this is just the perfect dress for the beach during the day and dinner on the coast in the evening. Lace detailing. I love that it has little shoulder tie-ups, giving us the option of wearing a bra, and it's fully lined. If I was going to pick one of these to splurge on, this would be it. $108 CAN
JustFab Printed Dress: I have been happy with every purchase form Justfab and the price point can't really be beat. This is an everyday summer dress. I love the bright ptint, the tie waist, light fabric and pockets. I love pockets! $ 39.93 USD
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!
I really wanted to share with you this dress that I purchased last summer and recently wore in Disney World but didn't take pictures of. I remembered that I meant to feature it last summer but never did. As I dug through my files I stumbled upon the time I wore it to Versailles Palace.
Throwback to almost a year ago when Logan and I went on our first grown-up trip without the kids to London and Paris. To say that it was a trip of a lifetime seems like an understatement. There were numerous highlights from that trip but touring the Versailles Palace and the Louvre were up there as my top three of that trip. To be totally honest I didn't love Paris, but Versailles Palace took my breath away. It's so grand. I remember just walking up to the gates and even though it was crawling with tourists, once we were inside, we felt like there was so much space. It was full of grand, over the top, rich, gold-tones and everything one imagine a palace would have.
The inside was stunning and that goes without saying, but once I stepped into the gardens I felt like I was in heaven. As far as you could see if was just lush greenery and beautiful walking paths. Logan and I spent a good two hours walking and finding new little paths to explore. And when nature calls and you are in the middle of nowhere, well you got to do, what you got to do. Haha.
Another highlight from that day was renting a little boat and having my man row me around. Hahaha. I did some rowing too, but for a few minutes I felt like I was living someone else's life. A life of leisure. A life of a princess. A fairy-tale.
It's so fun to go back and look at old photos. I feel so sentimental right now and I am reminded once again how lucky I am to live the life I am living.
