Sugar Plum

You'd think as I got older my hemlines would get longer but that's definitely not the case!  I've been showing off more leg than usual, which would normally be an intimidating style choice for me.  Smak Parlour's spring collection is full of fun, flirty dresses which give me the confidence I need to continue to step out of my comfort zone.  This faux wrap dress is an easy "throw on and go" piece that's effortlessly chic and incredibly comfortable to wear.  Who says a little black dress can't be comfy and cute?











Dress- c/o Smak Parlour
Shoes- Chelsea Crew
Lipstick- c/o Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Sugar Plum

This classic dress is made from a pebble crepe material and features a deep surplice neckline with a hidden snap closure (so you don't have to worry about spilling out), tulip sleeves, contrasting polka dot piping, twirl-worthy skirt, self tie belt, and a back zippered closure.  As someone who generally feels uncomfortable about deep v-necklines, having that hidden snap closure in the center is everything.  The tulip sleeves are great because you have full range of motion in your arms.  Considering how much I pick up my daughter, I'm glad I don't have to worry about ripping my dress in the process.  I'm wearing my usual size small in Smak Parlour dresses and I find this one to be very true to size.  I've worn this number a few times since I've received it and I seem to get endless compliments when I do!

I'm looking forward to this weekend because I've planned a fun day with the family.  I was hoping to away overnight, but that tends to get complicated when you have four dogs at home.  So we're going on a road trip but keeping it somewhat local.  I've been dying to show Bianca the world but I guess we'll be doing that in baby steps!
