I designed a sleek black midi dress and a boho chic duster to pair together. I of course had all my #hauteofftherack girls in mind when I designed these two pieces because I wanted you all to genuinely love wearing them. This black mock neck midi dress is chic, versatile and sophisticated. Plus it can be styled multiple different ways as you can see from today’s post. The body of the dress fits like glove, and yet it still feels like you’re wearing your favorite comfy t-shirt at the same time. Even highlights all your curves in the best way and comes in an amazing size range of XXS to XL! My favorite feature of the dress is the slit on the side to show a little leg. Also, there is the a zipper at the nape of the neck so you don’t mess up your hair and makeup when you pull it over your head.

If you’re hesitant to rock a bodycon dress alone, then you’re going to love my boho chic gold duster to wear over the dress for a fitted and flowy look. Just the like cozy duster that I designed, the the glam duster comes with a removable waist tie that you can loosely tie in the back to cinch in your waist and adjust the fit to your liking!

MY SIZING AND HEIGHT FOR REFERENCE:

Most people don’t realize how petite I am so and I understand that knowing my sizes can help you determine what size to get.

Post pregnancy I am a size 27 in jeans & medium in high waisted bottoms, size S in tops (36C), size S in dresses, Medium in sports bras, small in leggings and XS-S in outerwear
– I am 5′ ft

IMPORTANT SIZING NOTE** I hemmed my midi dress and gold duster 2.5 inches since we didn’t make these pieces in petite lengths. However, this is very normal me to do as I visit my seamstress regular to alter all of my clothing for the perfect fit.

Midi Dress Sizing: Also, I got a small in the dress and it fits fine, but I suggest sizing down because it’s very stretchy. I can even fit in the XXS. So if you’re pregnant, no need to size down. Just get your regular size because it is plenty stretchy enough to grow with you. I am wearing my Spanx OnCore High-Waisted Mid-Thigh Shorts underneath the dress for a smooth fit.

Gold Duster Sizing: I got the XS and and minus the fact that I got the length hemmed, it fits the perfect everywhere else. Please note that it is not as stretchy through the arms as the cozy duster. See more on the cozy duster here–>12 Ways to Style a Cozy Duster Cardigan

Travel Outfits Style Guide

July 8, 2015

Travel Outfits Style Guide: My five main components of the perfect travel outfit are: jeans (or leggings), a comfy lightweight shirt, a jacket, an oversized tote and sneakers (or booties)! I also always bring an extra pair of socks for when my feet get cold on the plane, and I pack my tote with a pair heels or wedges along with my jewelry in case we go wear somewhere nice once we arrive and I don’t have time to change.

Good Morning everyone! I apologize for not posting the past couple of days, but I’ve been so crazy moving into our new house! Our movers cancelled on us last minute so we had to move everything ourselves down three flights of stairs, and that is definitely NOT something you want to do during July in Louisiana. The new house is precious though! It’s all white inside with the original wood floors from 1929! I posted some sneak peeks on Snapchat if you’re interested. It has so much character and charm and it sits on the most beautiful street!

Anyway, about these looks… with summer in full swing, I decided to put together two travel outfits since I’m sure a lot of you have summer vacations planned. I wore the outfit above with my favorite rose gold Joie Kidmore sneakers, which are currently 50% OFF! I styled the outfit below with a pair of lace up heels to show you how can you easily dress up your travel outfit for dinner or drinks once you arrive to your destination. Like I mentioned earlier, I always pack a pair of heels and some jewelry in my carry on tote to dress up my look in case I don’t have time to change.
