00:24
haven't already taken your spring break
00:26
so i'm going to talk to you today like
00:28
i'm packing these are the things
00:30
that would go in my suitcase for a trip
00:33
they're great pieces that will last all
00:35
through spring and into summer
00:37
first up first outfit this is by bb
00:39
dakota
00:40
this is the catch my shift dress
00:43
she is beautiful things i love about
00:46
this dress it is a deep v
00:48
which you know i love it's got this
00:50
great little flutter sleeve to it which
00:52
is super flattering
00:54
right around the arms it is a true shift
00:57
it hits just an inch or two above my
00:58
knee
00:59
it has pockets so it's incredibly
01:02
comfortable
01:03
my favorite real thing though is that
01:05
this is lined so i have just typical
01:08
undergarments on today i didn't even
01:10
have to worry about it they look great
01:11
you don't have to wear any special
01:13
underground
01:13
it's very bra friendly you can wear your
01:15
favorite bra
01:16
and it's going to look fantastic i'm
01:19
thinking this dress is an easy
01:22
day dress but something you can still
01:23
take out to dinner
01:25
and i think dinner is all about the way
01:27
you put on the accessories
01:28
so i will start up here and work my way
01:31
down
01:32
i put on these beautiful hoop earrings
01:34
they'll get kind of close and personal
01:36
so you can see
01:37
this is the cora wire wrapped hoops they
01:40
are adorable um and i think they're
01:43
great going out to dinner
01:45
uh earring i left the chest nice and
01:46
open hopefully you've got a little glow
01:48
let that shine against the white and
01:51
then i put on the maisy
01:53
bracelets they come in sets of three
01:55
this one is the really pretty yellow
01:57
and khaki and white they also come in
01:59
some gray and white options
02:01
and i have on two stacks so the one
02:03
little set will get you three
02:05
and i've layered them up the maisie
02:06
bracelet um then i also put on just a
02:09
little uh
02:09
stack of rings so this is the um
02:12
goldy stack goldy stack goldie ring
02:15
stack
02:16
yeah and so i put those on as well and i
02:19
just think the accessories are what's
02:20
going to get you into the evening
02:22
shoes let me pull this one up here i
02:24
have on dolce vita
02:25
this is the raffia sandal gosh don't you
02:27
love the bottom it's like
02:29
so sad you can't even see that once you
02:30
get the shoe on but it's a nice little
02:32
just braided jute
02:34
super super easy just a little bit of a
02:36
heel for you
02:38
and this i think is fantastic if you
02:40
want a little height
02:41
i know for me sometimes i like a little
02:43
height in my shift dresses too
02:45
i would get the cameron in the sorel
02:48
if you haven't already again nice little
02:50
jute pattern but
02:51
pulls in the black and i think that
02:53
would be great going out to dinner as
02:55
well
02:55
all right that was look number one let
02:57
me get on number two okay
02:59
look number two uh my next favorite to a
03:02
knit dress
03:03
a knit jumpsuit this one is by
03:06
z supply it is the summerland the color
03:09
code on it is called
03:10
wash black but i got to tell you i put
03:12
on a little black cosa bella
03:14
bralette underneath and so this is true
03:17
black this really reads deep gray to me
03:19
um but just know when you go to purchase
03:22
that um it's called it's called wash
03:23
black
03:24
um so fun midi length okay so it hits me
03:27
kind of mid
03:28
calf really easy i actually have on the
03:31
medium
03:32
i think it fits true to size i think
03:34
it's just personal preference right when
03:35
you wear these oversized jumpsuits
03:38
if you want to go all in on the trend i
03:40
would buy true to size for me
03:42
especially being on the curvy side more
03:45
of a size 10 12. i just feel a little
03:46
bit more comfortable in these if they
03:48
fit me
03:49
a little bit more um it's not bra
03:52
friendly i really would encourage you to
03:53
wear like a little bralette
03:55
or a little tank top underneath what is
03:57
friendly though
03:58
or adjustable straps so i was able to
04:01
play
04:02
with you know how much cleavage i wanted
04:04
to show if you want to wear this out to
04:06
dinner and give yourself
04:07
kind of a little bit of a longer drape
04:09
you absolutely can
04:11
so you definitely get to play with where
04:12
it hits you on your chest you just want
04:14
to think about what
04:15
undergarment you're wearing i'm kind of
04:17
layering this up with a jacket i'm going
04:19
to show you kind of thinking
04:20
out to dinner on vacay out to dinner
04:24
hopefully some on a patio somewhere
04:26
having a glass of wine
04:28
but anyway if you want to wear it
04:30
daytime i think it would be great just
04:32
with a little white tank top underneath
04:34
you could do some freedom moses
04:35
sandals with it definitely something
04:38
that would get you through a day outfit
04:39
as well
04:40
so i pulled this sanctuary bomba it's
04:42
the havana fever
04:44
and i just think she pairs really
04:46
beautifully with this deep gray
04:48
it's super lightweight so it's just that
04:51
little layer piece that you need if
04:52
you're doing air conditioning you know
04:54
for dinner
04:55
i kind of rush up this sleeve it's got
04:57
this great piping
04:59
that gives her that bomber look kind of
05:02
stand back so you can see
05:04
so just a really great piece um this is
05:07
a super pretty kind of a camo and it's
05:09
got blush
05:10
and it's got light gray and a deep gray
05:13
again it's just a really pretty pairing
05:15
because this has such a strong print to
05:17
it again i chose not to do a necklace
05:19
but i did put in just a little paper
05:21
clip earring i love these sew on trend
05:24
and they come in a pack so this is the
05:27
elliott earring pack and you get three
05:29
you get this little paper clip
05:31
you get a nice little small hoop and
05:33
then she's super fun
05:35
this is actually a little lightning bolt
05:37
kind of playing off of that trend these
05:39
packs are fantastic they're 38
05:41
you get three earrings they're just a
05:43
wonderful value
05:44
um i kind of kept it cash and so the
05:47
shoe i've got on is our sam edelman
05:50
annalisa it's just that platform sandal
05:52
i've been wearing this one a lot she's
05:54
super chic but she's also just
05:56
incredibly comfortable okay that was
05:58
look number two let me get the last look
06:00
on
06:01
okay i saved the best for last the
06:04
reverie dress
06:05
z supply she's back in stock you've got
06:08
to get one of these i've had this in my
06:10
closet now for a couple years and it is
06:12
my go-to
06:13
and if you are in warm if you're in warm
06:15
weather you're wearing this thing right
06:16
now
06:16
but what i really love about this dress
06:19
is that if you are
06:20
in cold weather like myself in illinois
06:22
it's 50 degrees today and we're going to
06:24
see the 60s over the weekend
06:25
this will be one of the first spring
06:27
dresses that you get yourself into
06:29
because it is so
06:30
easy to pair with a denim jacket to put
06:32
with sneakers
06:34
if it's not quite warm enough to get
06:35
into your sandals
06:37
it's just the perfect dress z supply
06:39
reverie dress
06:40
69 dollars you need to get one of these
06:43
did you watch meg this week she did a
06:45
reels on this and just
06:46
adorable showed you all the ways to
06:49
style it
06:49
i'll go in a little bit closer so you
06:51
can kind of see your colorways here
06:53
we've got this lime green
06:55
great tie dye black and white stripe
06:59
this is a coral with a little bit of a
07:00
tie dye at the bottom
07:02
and then you've got your go-to standard
07:04
colors your all of your navy
07:06
and then i've got on the black okay
07:08
let's talk about how i chose to style it
07:10
so i am thinking reverie dress kind of
07:13
out
07:14
running errands um or if you're on vacay
07:17
like what's that
07:18
going around to museums doing all the
07:20
things so i've layered it with a denim
07:22
jacket this just came in and this is
07:24
going home with me today so this
07:25
is cut it's the cara denim jacket
07:28
super washed out fits really like a
07:32
shirt and then it has a raw hem here
07:35
i just love it did really dark uh
07:37
buttons here
07:39
and just super super fun i'm in an extra
07:42
large i will tell you if you're buying
07:43
cut
07:44
jean jackets this year they run a smidge
07:45
on the small side so i would normally be
07:48
in a large but i'm taking an extra large
07:50
in this
07:50
and i just love it um i popped on my
07:53
think roilin
07:54
this is the navy and then it's got a
07:56
great strap it's got navy black
07:58
and a pop of white and gray just really
08:00
sporty
08:01
and i thought do the navy because i also
08:03
pulled out these
08:05
um think moses slides fifty dollars if
08:08
you have not picked up a pair
08:10
sustainable materials they are easy easy
08:13
on the go
08:14
faux strap to them you just slip them on
08:16
everything from
08:18
go to flip-flops to pool slides they're
08:21
fantastic
08:22
but i just thought this is kind of fun
08:24
in the blues and the tie-dye
08:26
and then back to the think roy lynn i
08:28
thought it was a great pairing
08:29
okay last on the accessories i went back
08:31
do you remember the mazies that i had on
08:33
with the bb dakota dress they come in
08:35

08:52
v-neck super
08:54
bra friendly again this is the black i'm
08:56
