3 Ways to Add #SmileStyle to Your Holiday Dress

I found the most perfect holiday dress while at Cosmo’s Fun Fearless Life.

I tried to convince myself that I didn’t have to have it, but I was lying to myself. With the holiday season just around the corner, I NEEDED it.

The question wasn’t if this was the right dress for the holidays, but how to style it just right…

Dress it up. Glitz on glitz? Sure, why not?! I mean, it is the holiday season after all.

Clutch + Shoes: Aldo

Make it cool. Who said you have to wear a dress as a dress? Not me! So go ahead, and add something to it. A sweater, a vest, a belt. Whatever floats your boat. I opted for boots, a fur vest and a skirt.

Skirt: LC by Lauren Conrad | Vest: Madewell | Boots: Old Navy

And bonus points if the skirt has pockets!

Keep it classy. A few classic pieces make any dress a timeless treat.

Jacket: American Eagle | Shoes: Christian Louboutin

Which look do you like best?

Except for the one I’m not in.
I took that one.

#ootd: Back to Work

I have summers off.

It’s pretty glorious.

This past Friday (which would have been my first day back in the office) and Monday I had off to attend a wedding, so today was my first day back in the office.

What does one wear when going to back to work after two months off?

A dress. Obvi.

While this #ootd is very simplistic, I like it because the dress is by eShakti, so I was able customize it!

I got to pick the neckline, the sleeves, and who doesn’t want a dress with pockets?!

AND my necklace was custom made by Oh So Antsy, a very talented friend I made at Alt Summit!

Still can’t believe that my summer is over! Anyone else have the summer off?

#ootd: Chambray + Gladiators

Lately, I haven’t been feeling very inspired. So, when the manfriend asked me what I wanted to do (which he does everyday, it’s one of our things…), I said walk around town. Usually, I respond with something outrageous that we could never do, but I figured why not explore Poultney.

(Chambray Dress: Old Navy, Gladiator Sandals: Charlotte Russe (this style is longer available, but you can get similar + even better ones here), Bag: Kelly Moore, Sunglasses: Foster Grant, Nail Wraps: Scratch)

We didn’t do too much, but I did enjoy a strawberry smoothie from Café Pazienza + a Full Belly Deli Pepperjack Bacon Melt (the sandwich that turned me on to sandwiches). And if you know anything about my relationship with the manfriend, you know that movie nights are another one of our things, so we picked up three movies. You don’t have to go all out to have an inspiringly uplifting day.

A Week Plus: LWD

Rumor has it that the lwd is the new lbd. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that, and then I got one.

And yes, the lwd is the new lbd!

What are your thoughts on the versatility of the lwd?

A Week Plus: Bold Dress

Not sure if it was obvious or not, but I’ve been trying to do somewhat of a fashion Friday by consistently posting outfits ideas via A Week Plus. That being said, I know I’m a little late, but it’s still Friday somewhere!

This dress was a personal challenge for me, I could only think to wear it with blue shoes. I have two pairs of blue shoes, but I still wanted to try to think more outside the box.

When I really focused on it, I came up with a ton of different ways to wear it and felt silly for limiting myself in the first place.

How would you have styled a dress like this?
