My Spirit Outfit

When Kirsten, my long time virtual friend and amazing photographer contacted me telling me she'd be in Arizona for a weekend and had a few hours to kill on my birthday weekend and offered to shoot our family, I thought I must be dreaming! It was so fun to get all dressed up and spend time in one of my favorite places ever (i'm obsessed with PLANT NURSERY!) with people I love all while meeting an online friend, who I loved even more IRL! We're hoping to get up to Northern California to meet her new pup and explore her gorgeous area! I'll be sharing (lots, sorry) of our family photos too, but first an outfit post, because it's been ages and I got a lot of questions about this dress when I posted peeks a while ago.

Bold 1950s Party Dresses

Marcus' co-worker has a 1950s themed event to attend and was at a loss for what to wear. Since vintage themed outfit shopping is pretty much my jam, he text me and asked if I could help. The next three posts are what I came up with. Now I wish I was attending a 1950s event!

40 Gorgeous Dresses for A Formal Event

My best friend, Jenny, is headed down to Brazil (her home country) to attend a wedding and down there, all weddings are very formal events, so she needed to find something fancy. She also happens to be nursing her baby, so that's why I included a lot of top + skirt options and a few nursing friendly dresses. Be sure to use the arrow to see the second page of options if you're in the market!

Step into Spring

I've had a few people emailing me, asking for suggestions on where to find longer dresses or dresses with sleeves for upcoming weddings, church, parties, or just to keep cool as weather warms up. I made a little grouping of some favorites. Feel free to scroll through--(fyi: there are two pages on the 'greys and blacks' collage) you can click directly on the dress you like and it will take you to the appropriate site. Hope that helps! You're gonna look lovely!
