Odessa

 

Is it even spring if I'm not sporting a sun hat? Bianca and I not only matched with our favorite sunny accessory but we decided to match in these gorgeous Ivy City Co. Odessa dresses too! If you're not familiar with Ivy City Co., they're a women owned size inclusive fashion brand that makes matching dresses for your kids as well. Since Bianca still loves to match with her mom, I was excited that Ivy City Co. wanted to work with us! We picked these lace midi dresses that made us feel like we epitomized the spring season.

The Odessa is a 100% cotton dress that features a sweetheart neckline, flutter sleeves, a smocked back panel, lined midi skirt, and a back zippered closure. The adult version also has bust cups on the bodice but they aren't very noticeable. I tend to waffle between an XS and a S in Ivy City Co. dresses but ultimately chose a S due to my bust. To be honest, I could have easily taken the XS but the S is still flattering and comfortable. Bianca is wearing a size 8, which is the perfect size for her right now. Since there is smocking on the back I can assume she will be able to wear this one for a good while! This dress is incredibly comfortable and flattering and I can see myself living in this during the warmer months (which are already here, unfortunately).

You can find the Odessa in sizes XXS-3X in adults and 12months-12years on the kids version. It also comes in a cream color for the perfect cottagecore outfit! We've ordered another set of matching dresses from Ivy City Co. for a very important event coming up next month and we can't wait to share them with you then!

Water Lilies

 

The unprecedented California rain brought us the most beautiful start to spring. I love the green hills and the tall grass, things I don't really get to see much where I live. Selkie recently released their Giverny Claude Monet collection and this Water Lilies day dress was calling my name. This cut is so flattering on all body types (especially us busty people) and Monet is one of my favorite painters. Who wouldn't want to wear one of their favorite works of art?

The day dress is made from a lightweight cotton and features puff sleeves, a drawstring neckline, princess seams and a below the knee midi skirt. I'm wearing a size medium, which comfortably fits but I think I would probably size down in my next day dress. I still long for pockets but it's not a dealbreaker because I love this cut so much. You can find this dress in sizes XXS-6X and it's also available in other Monet prints. If the day dress isn't your thing, you can find other pieces with the Water Lilies print as well!

Happy Easter

 

Happy Easter! Our family isn't religious but we respect others who are and take the day to enjoy ourselves as a family. I feel lucky that Bianca still enjoys twinning with me so we took it to the next level and added Ruby to the mix!
