Little Striped Dress

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love a good t-shirt dress. I fell in love over the summer with all of the fun and flirty styles I was finding in every store, and I carried the trend over to the cooler months by throwing on some winter staples; tights and boots.

I’m obsessed with these sunglasses! Honestly guys I cannot say enough amazing things about the Ditto eyewear subscription service. I know I’m addicted to sunglasses, but even if I weren’t, this is an awesome service to try out yourself. Use my code THERACHELROSS to get your first month free at ditto.com! It’s worth the $24/month after that, I promise!

I actually put this dress on without the tights the other day and surprisingly enough I think I prefer it with the tights… which is weird, although I blame it on not having a tan at the moment. I think I will like it with bare legs and a pair of white Converse once I get some color on these stems!

Girl’s Night Necessities

This past weekend I had the pleasure of getting to spend some much needed girl time with some of my sorority sisters from college! My “family” decided to get together for dinner & drinks (water for me of course) so the older girls could meet the newest members of our family. If you’re not in a sorority and have no idea what I’m referring to here, I apologize, ha.

IMG_0937Look who’s here! It’s Zorro! Who, along with his brother, decided to run away about 10 minutes after these pictures were taken. Luckily they didn’t go far, just explored our neighbor’s yard and what our house looks like from underneath it. We have an enormous wrap around porch that they thought would be fun to camp out under for about an hour. My husband and I sat outside in the pouring rain searching for these idiots for a long time. Thankfully they were fine and could be lured back into the house with bacon treats. However, I did have to re-do my hair and makeup before heading up north for dinner which made me super late. UGH. Having puppies is such a joy….. ;]

I’m obsessed with kimonos! I’m particularly drawn to them right now because they’re something I can wear all throughout my pregnancy since they don’t close in the front. They add so much style and a weird sense of elegance to any outfit. I love the colors and pattern of this one from Forever21. They have so many great ones it was hard to choose! IMG_0955_2 IMG_0957_2I’m really obsessed with these shoes! Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe are often on point when it comes to their shoe selection. They’re always good for fun styles or bright colors that absolutely will not break your bank. However, I feel the need to mention, these were entirely uncomfortable to wear at first. They’re the kind of shoes that need a lot of breaking in, ha, but they get the job done. Plus they’re like the perfect combination between booties and heels. Anywho!  Dinner was a blast, it’s so much fun catching up and pretending I’m in college again, and it’s always good to have a legit reason to dress up, isn’t it? ;]
