[Applause]
00:09
hey friends good to see you again we are
00:11
going to get started today talking
00:13
dresses dresses by z supply one of our
00:15
favorite brands here at evereve
00:17
for those of you that have a z supply
00:20
already in your closet we've got some
00:22
new styles just for you okay all the
00:24
ones that we're talking about today are
00:25
the z supply blakely but each of the
00:28
dresses and the three looks have just a
00:30
little bit of something special about
00:33
them okay so i'm going to start first of
00:35
all with this again z supply blakely
00:38
this is the blakely fold-over what do
00:41
they mean by the fold-over i'm going to
00:42
show you right here on this little cap
00:43
sleeve the fabrication just folds over
00:46
so it's a little bit of a bigger like a
00:48
little thicker detail here on the crap
00:50
sleeve i love a cap sleeve for me it's a
00:53
little more bra friendly
00:55
than some of the really
00:56
thin tank top styles so that is gives me
01:00
a little more coverage which i like i
01:01
like the higher neck okay sometimes i
01:04
like to cover my decollete especially if
01:06
i'm
01:06
traveling or things like that and i want
01:08
to be a little more covered or out of
01:09
the sun too much
01:11
so that is that's nice too it has a
01:13
little banding right up here
01:14
and this one i want to point out to you
01:17
here too see how it has like a little
01:19
curved hem that gives you a little bit
01:21
of shape when you're walking which i i
01:23
really like and the length two is good
01:25
for well i'm five nine and look how
01:27
great it hits me it's still um i would
01:30
say about mid chin um in the front and
01:33
then comes up to um probably right below
01:35
my kneecap in the back um on that curve
01:38
so great length for tall girls and for
01:41
those that are a little more petite okay
01:44
again that fabrication from z supply
01:46
that you love
01:47
it's like a t-shirt material one thing i
01:50
really love about dresses in general
01:53
is that
01:54
it's a one and done
01:56
it's a grab and go throw it on but you
01:59
always look complete from head to toe
02:00
you always look completely finished
02:02
another fun thing that i'm adding here
02:04
to my outfit
02:05
again if it's just like a saturday run
02:07
around or if you're traveling is this
02:09
great little bag by parker clay
02:12
it's a little belt bag so it just go you
02:14
can go around your waist as tight some
02:16
of you might like to wear it a little
02:17
bit tighter i like mine a little bit
02:19
loose so it hangs just a little bit
02:20
slouchy again giving me a little more
02:22
shape
02:23
for travel what makes it really easy is
02:25
you've got this little front pouch here
02:27
that has a zipper so you can keep your
02:29
passport or your travel keys right right
02:32
handy and then a very generous inside
02:34
pouch again to keep like little makeup
02:37
or whatever else you need so that keeps
02:39
you hands-free as you are traveling or
02:41
running errands
02:42
and comfort we're all about the comfort
02:45
so these little sorels is what i popped
02:48
on here i love sorel i know we a lot of
02:50
times think especially us in the winter
02:52
time we think of those great sorel boots
02:54
with a really substantial
02:56
heel that keeps you just really grounded
02:58
same thing you're going to have that
02:59
comfort that nice little substantial
03:01
feel here a thicker sole so it's no
03:05
matter what you're doing especially
03:06
again travel if you're walking around in
03:08
cobblestone streets or uneven pavements
03:11
this is going to give you comfort and
03:14
confidence as you walk in them it also
03:16
has these little velcro straps that go
03:18
across so again really forgiving based
03:21
on um
03:22
your your shoe or sorry your foot if
03:25
you're a little wider foot you can
03:27
adjust it there or if you have
03:29
in my case retail feet with bunions they
03:31
can kind of just strap around so i
03:33
really love these for all the reasons
03:35
another thing i want to point out is
03:37
this is a neutral in your shoe okay
03:40
your bag is a neutral as well you can
03:42
mix browns you can mix blacks i think um
03:46
years ago we used to think that
03:47
everything needed to be real matchy
03:48
matchy you can mix and match all of that
03:51
all of the neutrals and really keeping
03:53
it on separate really makes your bag pop
03:55
okay
03:56
topped it off with just some fun little
03:58
jewelry here this is a fun little tiered
03:59
necklace that has tiny little seed beads
04:02
in it too with the um that washed cherry
04:05
color of the dress right in there so it
04:07
pulls it all together some real simple
04:09
hoops to match the gold on the bag
04:11
you're ready to go okay i'm back with
04:13
look number two for our z supply blakely
04:15
dress this one is the z supply henley
04:18
blakely okay what makes it the henley
04:20
just like what it says it's a typical
04:23
collar here for henley with the button
04:24
down so there's about six buttons right
04:26
here button as as low or as high if you
04:29
want a little more coverage or you're a
04:30
little more conservative you can button
04:31
it all the way up i left a few open here
04:34
um so you can easily again show a little
04:36
bit of decollete there it has a wider
04:39
strap not quite as wide as that last
04:41
fold-over one but it's still very bra
04:43
friendly
04:44
same um fabrication as the last dress
04:47
too which what you expect from z supply
04:49
the quality there this one does run a
04:52
little bit longer okay if you remember
04:54
the last one had that curved hem this
04:56
one has a fun little slit up the side so
04:58
you can show off those gams all right
05:01
um and then also
05:03
i'm going to show you something fun okay
05:05
so we're starting with this we're going
05:06
to layer it up i'm going to add this
05:08
great little jean jacket from
05:12
sanctuary um jean jackets now are kind
05:14
of doing something fun it's almost like
05:16
a denim shirt okay that you're wearing
05:19
as a jean jacket so the shape is a
05:21
little bit more like a like shirting
05:23
okay and it has a fun little um
05:26
a little hem on the bottom too
05:28
again it's more reminiscent of a shirt
05:31
than it would be your typical jean
05:32
jacket okay she's a little bit oversized
05:34
so we're gonna pop our collar there how
05:36
cute are these these are from vince
05:38
camuto so you know he makes everything
05:40
so special fun little square tone flat
05:44
fun little braiding right here it's a
05:46
little bit of a cushion and then there
05:47
is a little bit of a toe separator right
05:49
in there but again easy on easy off
05:52
which we love about summer spring and
05:54
swimmer shoes as you're in and out the
05:55
door
05:56
then remember that parker clay bag that
05:58
i wore in the last one was that little
06:00
belt bag i have a surprise for you
06:04
that belt bag comes with another little
06:06
bit thicker strap so you can make it
06:09
into a crossbody
06:10
love the versatility of that um
06:12
adjustable strap here so whether you're
06:14
uh smaller in stature or taller like me
06:17
you can make that strap as long or as
06:20
short as need be some people like to
06:22
wear their crossbody's a little bit
06:23
higher almost across the chest i like to
06:25
wear mine just a little bit lower but
06:28
again that adjustable strap will allow
06:30
you to accommodate for whatever you're
06:31
comfortable with so i just added some
06:33
really simple bead bracelets on here
06:36
this is just one little stack it's got a
06:37
little bit of gray a little bit of black
06:39
a little bit of brown again okay to mix
06:42
your neutrals your blacks and your
06:43
browns and it's also okay to mix your
06:45
metals okay so we got a little gold
06:47
detailing here on the bag and a little
06:49
silver here detailing on the jacket
06:51
totally fine to mix and match and then i
06:53
topped it off with my gold hoops which
06:55
are always my favorite okay look number
06:57
three our last look and my favorite i
07:01
love this blakely ruffle dress it's this
07:04
little sleeve that just gets me every
07:06
time these little ruffle sleeves i mean
07:08
so
07:09
so darling
07:10
okay
07:11
one thing i want to talk to you too
07:13
about all of these blakely dresses
07:14
whether it was the henley style the
07:17
fold-over style or this ruffle style
07:19
thing i love about them is that t-shirt
07:21
fabrication makes it feel so comfortable
07:23
right
07:24
but you can elevate it and make it more
07:27
casual just based on how you accessorize
07:29
it this one again is a little bit longer
07:31
and it has that cute little slit up the
07:33
side again just like the henley um again
07:36
like i said same fabrication it has a
07:38
little bit lower um neckline here which
07:41
again i feel like is a little more
07:42
elevated makes it feel a little more
07:45
elegant um and i just topped it off with
07:47
this simple necklace i've shown you this
07:49
necklace before because it's one of my
07:51
favorites it has almost like a paperclip
07:54
chain here and then this little tiny
07:56
pearl
07:57
it's called the mimi which i love um and
07:59
that little pearl that kind of has that
08:01
little um ecru color goes with these fun
08:04
little ecru shoes that i'm wearing these
08:06
are by dolce vita again easy on little
08:08
sandal
08:09
really tiny little heel here that's a
08:11
little square heel and then little
08:13
straps across the top again that are
08:15
just real friendly for
08:17
whatever
08:18
shape or size your feet are um and then
08:21
i added these little bracelets on here
08:23
some little seed bracelets they really
08:25
go well with the mocha color of this
08:27
dress and then
08:29
remember parker clay we talked about
08:31
that great bag that i wore as a belt bag
08:33
the first school round second outfit i
08:36
wore to the crossbody here's another bag
08:38
by them
08:39
this fun little leather fold-over bag i
08:42
am obsessed okay so it's a more like a
08:45
bone color i would say with these fun
08:47
little um circular handles so when you
08:50
carry if you want to carry it like this
08:52
um you can just carry it like that and
08:53
then you can open it up fill her up or
08:56
if you're a kind of gal who likes to
08:58
