What I Wore - Styling a Maxi Dress
Sometimes I feel like when I get dressed I'm wearing a predictable outfit, where I feel comfortable and will blend in with the other moms running around in Target bribing their kids with slurpees, a treat, and maybe a $5 movie.I think to myself, "Ok, my kids look cute so hopefully that will take the looks away from me." With my day old hair thrown up in a pony and make up that is having a hard time covering up those circles under my tired eyes I run around trying to remember what is on my shopping list in the first place.I wanted to try a new look and step out of my comfort zone. It might sound silly, but these are huge for me.#1 I usually only wear maxi dresses when I'm pregnant.I don't know why, but that's just when I've bought them.Thank you Kintage for having some darling dresses!#2 I don't wear headbands. Not wraps, not lace, not boho, nothing.Thank you Love Sparkle Pretty for sending me this beautiful boho headband to be my first.#3 I tried out a blazer for the first time also.Thank you Lauren Conrad for rockin' my socks off every time I shop at Kohls. Love her line of clothes.

It was his wife's who passed away before I was ever in the picture. I try not to open it much because it still has her sweet grandma perfume smell.
Kayla is the super sweet girl behind Love Sparkle Pretty.She came to Elevate and was lovely to meet in person.
Obsessed with my first piece of Lisa Leonard jewelry that was my birthday present from Nichole.
It matches perfectly!
