Mommy And Me: The Red Dress

Hello all and happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Did anyone go see Thor?!? I have to say, it is was one the BEST Marvel movies and definitely the best Thor movie. It was so funny too! Kudos to Marvel and the whole Thor team, you guys outdid yourselves! Also, the newest episode of Outlander was on Sunday. Jamie and Claire, all the feels! This show basically combines all of my favorite things into one, history, romance, and an absolutely intriguing story with well developed characters. 

As you know, my favorite posts are always the ones that feature my little Ava bug! Matching my outfit to Ava’s is one of my favorite things to do. Even if the outfits don’t match, sometimes I’ll still match the color scheme up. My mom used to love dressing my family up in matching outfits too. I even still have one of our matching dresses that I cannot wait to dress Ava and I up in. That will be a very special moment for me.

These red lace dresses Ava and I are wearing feature a delicate floral pattern and have an A-Line design. The fit is a little loose with some stretch to it. Very comfortable for wearing all day! I got my usual size of XS, but probably could have sized down to an XXS. Ava’s is a size 90. She typically fits into a US size 2T depending on the company. We both had so much fun in these dresses! These red dresses are so special to me now and I cannot wait to wear them for years to come.

Midi dresses have always been a favorite of mine. They have a demure allure to them, while still being fun and flirty. I love the bright red color too! It reminds me of the patriotic summer holidays or even around Christmas time. This dress would work for so many different occasions. The material is nice and thick and feels way more expensive then it is ($29.83!) It actually feels like a scuba suit and has a good stretch to it. I'm wearing a size xs, but found it to be slightly too big on me. These embellished flats have become a fast favorite of mine too. I love to wear heels and do quite often, but lets be honest, when I'm doing a lot of traveling around I like to wear a chic pair of flats. The streamlined pointed toe along with the rhinestone and sequin daisies make these stand out from the rest of the crowd! I've been wearing them every where lately since this whole past week has been one errand after the other. It's been one of those busy busy weeks!

Hello and happy Thursday, friends! I hope the first week of the new year has been going well for everyone. It's been crazy cold here in PA with temps dipping down to 9 degrees or below with the wind chill. Starting today though, we're supposed to be in the 40s until the end of the week. I'm not complaining about that! I just wish the weather would make up its mind, and in doing so, make up its mind to be warmer haha ;)

Does anyone ever feel a little blue after the holidays are over? I definitely do. There is so much excitement in the air and then all of the sudden its just over. I've started looking forward to the next holiday I'll be celebrating, which is Valentine's Day. Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be throwing in some outfit ideas ranging from a cozy night celebrating at home to going out on the town with your sweetie. Justin and I used to go out for dinner, but over the past couple of years we've stayed in and made our own steak dinner. This dress I'm wearing above from Shein would be a great option for celebrating Valentine's Day with its pink and red colors. I love the pleating throughout and the fab little collar. Pink and red are usually thought to be clashing colors, but to me they compliment one another and really pop.

Happy Friday, all! This is the last weekend before Christmas and you better believe I will be finishing up all of my gift shopping! I can't believe I've let it get this late, but that's how it goes sometimes.

One way I like to glam up an outfit is to add a statement necklace. My first look is a bit more casual, while the second one is dressier, but both feel equally polished with the statement necklaces added on. These gem and pearl filled necklaces from sockbeans are excellent quality and versatile enough to wear from day to evening. I'm also a sucker for anything leopard like this coat or pretty little details like the ruffles on this red dress (with sleeves!). I'm loving the red color for winter and of course leopard goes with just about everything. I use it as a neutral to pair with other items.
