Mourning Dove

Sister Jane Evening Doves Midi Dress Southern California Belle
 
Welcoming 2024 with lots of realistic hope! While I know we're probably gearing up for lots of big changes, I want to make sure I keep a positive center whenever that's possible. I've had my share of loss these past few months (two of my dogs passed away) and this mourning dove print dress from Sister Jane felt like the representation of how I've been since then. I also have a very big family of mourning doves that I feed daily in my backyard so this dress works in more than one way!

The Evening Dove Midi Dress is a poly dress that features puff sleeves, contrast collar, functional pearl button down bodice, midi skirt with hidden side pockets and a side zippered closure. I've said it many times before but Sister Jane dresses can be tricky when you have a big bust! This dress is a medium and it *just* fits in the bust but I am swimming in the waist. I opted for a belt to complete the look. I love that this dress has pockets (most of my Sister Jane dresses do not) and I hope to see more pockets in 2024! I am a huge fan of this dress and I love that the print feels very personal to me.

While I love Sister Jane designs and I look forward to every release, I do want to mention that they do not carry sizes above an XL or US14. I know they've revamped their chart and now offer up to an XL, but there's always room for inclusion and I hope they continue to move in that direction.

2024 marks the 13th year here on this blog! I'm impressed that I've continued (although sparingly) to post here through so many major life milestones. While social media comes and goes, I'm glad I have this space to share a bit of what I'm feeling at that moment. Hoping this year has a lot of great things in store for me and you!
