Pleated Cap Sleeve Midi Dress

Pleated Cap Sleeve Midi Dress: Taylor | White Ankle Strap Sandals: Steve Madden, Aldo, Nordstrom Rack

I’m a day late to post my Sunday Best look, but if you follow me on liketoknowit then you got a first look yesterday. Typically I don’t wear a lot of blue, although in the past month I have three blue outfit posts. If you go back further into my blog, you rarely see blue. I was looking for a dress to wear to a wedding reception and this dress caught my eye. The shade of blue is stunning on its own and the cut was what caught my eye. I absolutely love this pleated cap sleeve midi dress. For those wondering about sizing, it doesn’t have a back closure. It is a pull over dress with an elastic waist line. The absolute best part about this dress is that it does have a high armpit cover so if you wear garments you don’t have to worry about them showing.

Floral Fit and Flare Dress

I am currently obsessed with this Taylor dress. I was at Nordstrom Rack looking for a cute dress for a wedding reception and this dress jumped out to me. This floral fit and flare dress is to die for. The print is so cute and the fit is amazing. It has a back zipper inclosure so it’s tight in the waist but has the cutest flare at the bottom. Another bonus to this adorable dress is the pockets! Anytime a dress has pockets, I’m sold. I looked online and there a few more of this dress left in stock. I was able to find a ton of other Taylor dresses in the same style but in different colors. This dress is perfect for a wedding reception or even just to church on Sunday.

Drop Waist Ruffle Cotton Dress

Drop Waist Ruffle Cotton Dress: Bobeau | Taupe Sandals: Jeffrey Campbell

I am obsessed with this drop waist ruffle cotton dress! This Summer I have been all about the effortless and comfortable dresses. Bobeau makes the most comfortable dresses and this is my new favorite. I absolutely love the flouncy tiers and the airy sleeves. You can pair this dress with heels for a cute date night look or throw this on over your bathing suit for a cute outfit to walk the boardwalk. Either way, this dress is not only comfortable but it’s versatile. You can also easily transition this dress into Fall by layering a jean jacket over it or an oversized cardigan with boots.

The Brigitte Brianna Collection

The Brigitte Brianna Collection: Joggers, Crew Neck Tee

I’m so excited to share today’s outfit! You all know that I love Sexy Modest and I was able to get my hands on the most comfortable pieces. The Brigitte Brianna Collection has so many adorable pieces and these are two of my favorite casual pieces. Joggers are a must for any season, and these are made of the most comfortable material. They have an elastic waist and of course have pockets. Thankfully, these joggers come in a variety of colors and I grabbed them in every color. The second piece I am loving is the favorite basic tee. I love this particular tee because it’s made of the same anti wrinkle material and it has longer sleeves than the everyday tee. These two piece pair perfectly together and look great dressed down or up.

Ruffle Sleeve Tie Blouse

Happy Sunday everyone! I had a beautiful morning at church and am now currently in my office working. Working on Sundays aren’t great, but when I’m able to make it to church first I don’t mind it as much. For today’s Sunday Best church outfit I went with this adorable ruffle sleeve tie blouse. The blouse is a mauve taupe mix and I absolutely love this color. I’ve had this blouse in my closet for a while and I can’t even remember where I picked it up from. The tag was a random designer which I couldn’t find online which makes me think I probably grabbed it from a small boutique. I’ve linked a couple blouses that I think would work just as cute in its place.

This midi skirt is from Nordstrom Rack and it actually comes in a bunch of colors. In my local store they had racks of these skirts in almost 6 colors. Of course I bought it in every color! The skirt is so comfortable and has a hidden zipper which I love. This skirt is perfect to pair with tees and sweaters for a quick look. You can also dress it down with sneakers or dress it up for church like I did here.

Maybelline Super Stay Multi-Use Foundation Stick

Maybelline Super Stay Multi-Use Foundation

I’ve found my new favorite drug store foundation. In all honesty, I don’t really buy foundation from drugstores but this product is a must have. I was very skeptical at first but after my first try I was impressed. The Maybelline Super Stay Multi-Use Foundation has a great cream to matte formula and worked well with my oily skin. I applied my YSL primer underneath like normal and this foundation applied smooth and was easy to blend out. For blending out the foundation I did use a beauty blender for the majority of my face just because it’s larger and saved me time. I did use the sponge on the stick to blend out under my eyes and it did pretty well.

The best part about this foundation is that it under $10 and so small and compact. The best part is that you don’t have to worry about taking a brush or blender with you, everything is together and so convenient. Thank you Influenster and Maybelline for sending over this product to try out!

BRIGITTE BRIANNA PEPLUM TOP

Brigitte Brianna Peplum Top: SexyModest | Purple Pencil Skirt: ASOS, SheIn | Sandals: Jeffrey Campbell

I’m so excited that my Brigitte Brianna Peplum Top finally arrived! This amazing peplum top comes in 5 colors and I literally want it in every color. I was able to grab this top in black and white and I’m going back for the rest. I’ve had some ask me if it’s worth the price and it totally is. The material of the top is high quality and as long as you wash it according to the details it will last you a long time.

I love this top because it’s form-fitting and accentuates your waist line. I paired my peplum top with this pencil skirt for a Sunday Best church look. You can also pair this peplum top with skinny jeans and sandals for a more casual look.

BRIGITTE BRIANNA V-NECK MAXI DRESS

Mauve Brigitte Brianna V-Neck Maxi Dress: SexyModest | Ankle Strap Sandals: Jeffrey Cambell

I’ve found the perfect maxi dress from SexyModest boutique. This mauve Brigitte Brianna v-neck maxi dress is seriously perfect. I immediately fell in love with the color when I saw it online. When the dress arrived, the color is even more perfect than the pictures online. This dress comes in eight different colors and I want it in every color.

The material is light weight but thick enough that it is not see through. It does have some stretch and fits true to their sizing notes found online. Despite the length, this is truly the perfect Summer dress.

Loft Black Textured Skirt

Loft is having a huge 40% off sale right now! Loft usually runs amazing sales and this is one of them! You can take 40% off even on sale items. I scored this amazing black textured skirt on sale. Sadly this exact skirt is not online, but in store they had a ton in stock. I’ve linked some other amazing Loft black textured skirts that I found online. I even purchased the last two skirts I’ve linked which were on sale with the additional 40%. Both of my skirts came to under $50 including shipping. That’s a total steal.

I just recently started shopping at Loft, mainly because they have a ton of modest pieces. The clothing is a little older feeling but you can find a ton of great pieces. Along with modest pieces, they have great work clothes. My mom loves Loft because they have a ton of petite options which are great for us shorter people.

Calpak Rose Gold Luggage Set

Calpak Rose Gold Luggage Set: Nordstrom, Nordstrom, Nordstrom

How gorgeous is this Calpak rose gold luggage set? I’m obsessed with my new gorgeous luggage. A few months ago when Shopbop had their big sale, I finally gave in and bought this set. This three-piece set is so amazing. Sadly it’s sold out on Shopbop, but Nordstrom has the same luggage but only in a two piece.

The three fit inside one another which makes storing them super convenient. The luggage is super lightweight and has a hard shell. They also have four multi directional wheels for effortless navigation. The zippered divider creates two separate packing compartments, and an expansion sleeve unzips to increase the packing capacity. My favorite thing about these beside the gorgeous color, is the built-in locks. They each have a TSA lock built-in so your luggage is always protected.

I posted this on Instagram and have gotten so many questions about durability. I’m heading off to Utah tomorrow and taking these babies on their first trip. Already dreading how the airlines will destroy my pretty suitcases, but I’ll keep everyone posted on how they survive with scratches.
