Wine Dots

Sometimes the stars align and you find an unexpected but perfect new dress.  I'm no stranger to Trashy Diva, I actually try to own at least one piece in every new collection that I like.  Spoiler alert: It's almost all of them.  I was over the moon to hear that they brought back the wine dots print in my all-time favorite fabric: Stretch rayon.  It's buttery soft, has a decent amount of stretch, and drapes like a dream.  They also used a bunch of great dress styles to highlight this collection.  Let me tell you, having to choose just one was ridiculously hard!  Read all about my decision, the Lizzie, and why I love it so much, below.















Dress- Trashy Diva
Shoes- Remix Vintage Shoes
Lipstick- c/o Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Trust Issues

I actually purchased two dresses because I couldn't possibly decide without trying them on.  I went with the Lizzie and the Ashley.  While the Ashley was beautiful, I already own a few of them in different prints.  Plus, I had no idea how much I'd love the Lizzie.  This newer style (it was initially released in the black knit collection) features gathered half sleeves, a deep sweetheart neckline, full gathered skirt, and a full back zippered closure.  I'm not usually into plunging necklines but I had to make an exception!  It also has side pockets, which we all know is a definite win.  This dress is perfect for ladies with longer torsos like myself, which is comforting because I had a hard time finding something that worked for me in the Venice Nights collection (you can read about that HERE).  I can't even put into words how much I love this dress.  I have a feeling this will be the first of many Lizzie dresses to enter my wardrobe...

This week has been kind of a doozy for me.  I've been battling a cold, which I then passed off to Bianca.  Because she's had a hard time sleeping, I've had an even harder time sleeping!  I'm pretty sure I'm some kind of living zombie at this moment.  Anyone have any natural cold remedies to share?  This is the first time Bianca has been really sick and I'd love for her to get back to being a normal, crazy toddler!
