Well, last week was about as busy as it gets! My daughter graduated from high school, and I was on the Grad Night committee, so between her activities and my volunteer work, there were a few nights without sleep! That being said, it was worth the time to be there for my daughter; especially since she goes off to the college in the fall! This means I will have two children away at school. Yikes!

I wore this dress to her class awards ceremony. It was amazing to see all of the accomplishments she and her classmates had over the course of high school. I am such a proud mama!

This dress was perfect because it was 90 degrees outside that day, and it kept me cool. While I was wearing it, I discovered the dress has pockets! Yes! Pockets in a dress. Love that!

Although I did not make use of the pockets, it was nice to know they were there. I feel like so many women’s clothes are deprived of pockets. My husband and my son have ample pockets in their clothing, why can’t we have that too? I might need to snap this dress up in another color. I love how comfortable it is, plus it has pockets! Love!

What do you think of a dress with pockets? Do you wish more clothing had pockets?

Thanks for stopping by!

Perfect summer dress

graduation dress ideas for mom

Wearing: pearl earrings (similar here) / pearl necklace (similar here) / dress / summer nail polish / mini tote bag / navy flats /

‘Tis the season for finding the perfect dress for graduation activities as a mom of a soon-to-be graduate! I wore this dress to a tea event recently and I plan on wearing it to my daughter’s upcoming graduation ceremony.

The graduation will be held outside, and every year, it is in direct sun and very warm. This means, you need to safeguard your overall look against, shall we call it, perspiration? Uh um, yeah. Anyway. . .

Prints are key when attending an outside event in warm weather. They hide food spills and more. Prints are amazing in that respect. I love this print because it will be perfect for that possible scenario and the dress can easily be dressed up or down.

For my daughter’s tea event, I wore this dress with flats and my mini tote. When it comes to graduation day, I plan to wear a sun hat, straw tote, and natural fiber flats since the ceremony will be held outside on the football field.

In addition to graduation and tea’s, this dress can be paired with sandals for lunch in the summer and espadrille wedges for casual dinners. Love! I am excited to have the perfect summer dress for many occasions. You can find it online here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Congrats on your soon-to-be graduate, and any other summer activities you have coming up!

Barbie movie outfit idea
tory burch ella bio tote mini

wearing: statement earrings / pink dress (on sale!) / summer nail polish / mini eco-friendly tote / ankle bracelet / espadrilles /

So, I had this idea to wear my long sleeve, Barbie pink dress to go out to dinner last weekend. This was not the best idea since the temperature outside was close to one hundred degrees and the restaurant ended up not having air conditioning! Yikes! You can see it on my face in the pictures. haha

Under normal temperatures, and in air-conditioned restaurants, this dress is super chill and fun. I love the casual vibe of this dress which can be worn in a relaxed manner with sandals, or slightly dressed up with wedge espadrilles, or really dressed up with ankle boots, wedge sandals, block heels, or ballet flats. Love that!

I was not the only person roaming around Campbell in Barbie pink either! I saw many other ladies sporting Barbie pink. I know all these great minds think alike! It’s a Barbie summer! Love!

The movie premieres this week, but my schedule keeps me from seeing it until next week. I hope you have the movie on your calendar already too! This is the outfit I plan to wear to see the movie. It will be fun to see all the outfits everyone puts together. I know there will be a lot of little dresses, and a lot of high heels! With my planter fasciitis, these wedges are as close to a high heel as I can get right now. I wore my arch support band with them the other night, and thankfully I was pain free. Love that!
