Bohemian Hippie

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I went walking around the downtown shops in Charlottesville, Virginia. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, which means I definitely had to throw on this stunning dress from Society +.

When I found out that the beautiful YouTuber Alexandra, aka Learning To Be Fearless, had created a line for Society +, I had to jump on it. The items were going quick and I read a post of hers saying they weren't going to restock any items. Fortunately, I snatched up this dress before it sold out.

Now, I will say I was slightly disappointed when I saw that the largest size was an 18/20. Normally, I wear a 20/22 top and bottoms but with some stores, such as Torrid, I can get away with a size 18/20 dress. I figured I'd give it a shot .... because seriously .... how could I pass on this dress?? I will lose weight in order to wear it. That is how much I love it.

Finally, after impatiently waiting for 5 days, it was delivered on Friday.

    The great things about this dress:

• the colors are gorgeous
• the pattern is super cute for spring and summer ... and possibly even fall ......
• the material is lightweight and breathable with a little bit of stretch
• the length of the dress and sleeves is perfect

The not so great things:

• it's a big snug around the belly area but loose around the shoulders — granted, I'm pretty heavy around my tummy and much smaller around my bust/shoulder area
• the material feels slightly clingy

All in all, it's a great dress.

I knew it probably wouldn't fit me as well as I'd like, but the next time I order from Society + I'll make sure to go with a 20/22.

One Dress, Six Outfits

For Christmas, my boyfriend bought me the gorgeous black dress from Rebel Wilson's Torrid Collection. I love it so much, I decided to see how many different ways it could be worn.

This dress is made from a very thick and soft material and the cut is flattering for all different body types — I highly recommend it :)

1. This first outfit is perfect for date night! It's cute but still comfy and laid back.

• Jacket — Torrid
• Shoes — Toms

2. This next one is my favorite. I like to think it's girly meets grunge. It would be a great outfit for a concert!

• Plaid Shirt — Old Navy
• Combat Boots — Torrid

3. Next, I decided to do a sophisticated "glam look". Basically, I went with all black and lots of bling.

• Black Cardigan — Old Navy
• Statement Necklace — Target

4. This fourth look features a lot of Grace and Lace pieces. I've mentioned before how much I love their scarves. They also have gorgeous cardigans and cozy leg warmers! I'm definitely bringing this outfit back next fall.

• Cardigan — Grace and Lace
• Leg Warmers — Grace and Lace
• Scarf — Grace and Lace

5. Work outfits are something I'm always looking for. I like to find basic staple pieces that can be dressed up or down, so I can wear them to work as well. This dress is perfect for working in an office!

• Jacket — Torrid
• Heels — TJ Maxx

6. Last but not least, here it is paired with a gorgeous kimono! This look would be great for early spring.

• Kimono — ASOS Curve
• Booties — Modcloth

Also, I need to give a shout out and HUGE thank you to my amazing boyfriend, Tony. Not only did he buy me this adorable dress, but he also is my photographer for all my posts. This particular one took forever and it was pretty cold outside. Thank you, baby. I couldn't do it without you! <3
