Hey Dolls, I missed you so much! Truly I cannot enumerate how many times I sat down or tried to sit down to get a blog post out and yet – I couldn’t seem to get motivated. I can’t say that it was writer’s block, but it was like I just couldn’t seem to get into the groove of things. Blogging is hard work!

Whenever I call myself taking a break from social media, I find it even harder to get back into the swing of things. Aren’t breaks supposed to have the opposite effect? My tried and tested motivation is to get back on track is to focus on my passion for personal style and my earnest desire to see every single woman regardless of size/age/or financial status to be well dressed and feeling her absolute best!

Today’s look is another score from my partner in crime, Gwynnie Bee! This dress was a hit for date night, it fit my curves just right :) I actually wore it twice, and styled it two alternate ways, but this is the look that actually made it here to the blog. Side note: I need to patent a way to instantaneously blog everything that I wear! Or perhaps someone can advise me of a better way? I’m open to any and all suggestions, LOL!

This floral frock gave me vintage vibes. I added lace socks and a beaded vintage handbag to seal the deal. It was a scorcher on the day that I wore it this way, all I could seem to think about while taking pictures was: Where can I find shade and central air?! LOL! Nonetheless, we pushed through it and got this shoot done! I say we, because I am part of a team. My husband/resident photographer/creative director/number 1 supporter/objective feedback giver was on hand. I’m absolutely certain that he was even hotter than I was- I appreciate his support :)  Thankfully after we finished this shoot we were able to refresh ourselves and continue enjoying the day despite the 100+ temperatures.
