Fresh Blooms

Well, all of you might be sick of these vacation posts by now… but honestly we need these. We are both reliving our Cancun vacation to help us through the constant stream of snowstorms and frigid temps. You might be sick of our weekly weather reports by now. It’s tough not to comment on it, when you’re yearning for Spring.

Anywho, if you read any of our other vacation posts yet, you could probably guess that this dress came along with the massive sale haul we each got before we left. I instantly fell in love with the delicate, feminine, floral print of this dress. I also just loved how they had it styled on the model with a thicker cardigan. That makes it so much more versatile for us in Wisconsin.

I had borrowed a dress in this style from my mom last summer. She snagged it at Nordstrom Rack and I loved it! This is the first one I now own in this style, and I do have to say – they aren’t the best choice if you are a little bustier. It can cause a little gaping on the upper buttons which personally drives me insane. You might want to size up if that applies to you.

I was also pretty bummed that I only wore this the one night in Mexico and one of the straps snapped when I laid down on our hotel bed. Luckily I am semi-handy with a sewing machine so it’s not a huge deal for me to patch it up. Nonetheless, it’s always disappointing when the quality isn’t there (which luckily hasn’t happened too often with ASOS items).

I snagged these shoes when Jenilee, our mom and I were in Chicago for her birthday surprise at Nordstrom Rack (our go-to). They couldn’t have matched any better, always a happy coincidence. I am not always a super matchy person, but I love when something just subtly matches perfectly; especially shoes!

Side Bar: Jenilee has almost fully convinced me that I need these fun floral heels in my life. I have the nude version and they are the perfect fit for me, as well as the perfect height. I have a wedding to attend in May and I might be trying to base my dress choice off of if I can tie these in. Whether you are looking for a basic heel or a fun color like she likes for me; these are a great price point and they have two day shipping!

Good news! If you are getting sick of these vacation outfit posts, we are nearing the end. Although I am not sick of them, I am SO excited for all of our upcoming content. As Jenilee and I  rounded out our first year in the blog world, I think we both felt a little blah at the end of the year. However, as we passed the New Year, we have had some amazing traction. We have been enjoying creating content, spending time together, taking our time and reaching out to new brands.

Obviously we have kept companies like ASOS, Gap, Express and a few others on our heavy rotation. Beyond the obvious options, we have both decided that it is important to try what else is out there. We want to give you honest reviews and help you find more variety. I hope you are as excited as I am, because the next few weeks are going to be FUN. All of the companies we are choosing to feature are because we genuinely back them. Whether its based on their mission, fit, price point or something else. We will never, ever, ever post products we do not believe in, don’t stand up to our quality requirements or that we just simply don’t like.

Another thing we are hoping to share more of in the weeks to come are try ons. Woof. Even saying that one makes my stomach flip. I am not a camera ready person and hate the thought of having to freestyle speak. It is just not appealing to me. But that is the one thing people are constantly asking for more of; so we are going to work on it. Obviously this post took a weird turn at the end because we went from a floral dress into my excitement for our blog. Point being, that me saying all of this out loud, will also help hold me accountable. So be on the lookout for some fun new companies, more videos of us (eeeek), and a whole lot of fun!

Check out the details on my look below as well as some of my other favorite dresses in this style. Bonus for you is that most of them are on sale right now!
