Gals, I dare say it's starting to feel like Fall! This past weekend I traveled to the mountains with the ladies of my church for a relaxing and refreshing retreat and to my surprise when I came home the cool air seemed to follow me back.
PS missed my baby girl something fierce (according to my sister who took care of her she missed me more!) but Mammas it is necessary to to get away and care for yourself every now and then :)
PSS If you are a nursing Mamma (I'm down to morning and night #freedom) this dress will accommodate.
Now, I'm sale shopper (why in the world would you pay full price?!) so when J Crew was having 40% off a couple weekends ago I shopped. I'm loving velvet for Fall/Winter, it's rich and soft and I love leopard all year round so a collaboration in a classic wrap dress design creates the perfect stand out dress!
The leopard is in a pinkish hue, which I find to be prettier than the standard yellow. I normally detest sleeves but this cap sleeve gathers at the shoulder giving it a bit of structure and femininity.
If you've been reading this blog for any length or time, or know me in real life, you know it is very rare to see me in a dress above the knee. I made the exception because it is a winter dress and I'd be pairing it with boots and tights. I also feel that with holiday parties approaching a shorter hem will be fun.
But don't get me wrong I'm also wearing it to church - it's all about styling!
I really want a velvet top and/or blazer but haven't found the right ones at the right price.
Stay tuned.
Sidenote: I did just purchase a velvet piece for our new home! It's been a process getting settled but I promise to share soon.
Dress Beautifully in Velvet & Leopard
XOXO Sarah Louise
