Blondes and Hot pink? What is a better combination? I never was a pink girl by any means but recently I have turned into a lover of pink. We all know how much I love this dress from Franchesca's that I purchased back in July. I was eyeing it up for some time now and finally I took the plunge and added to my closet. Truth is it's one of the comfiest and cutest dresses I own in my closet. Since purchasing it I have worn it a hand full of times and have now decided to make it my power color. Just kidding but seriously I am hooked to this color!
Besides my love for this dress, I am starting a two part series where I style some looks for wedding season. I have quite a few weddings that I am going to be attending this September and I decided to share with you guys how I style some dresses in my closet. I am also incorporating some pieces from Prep Obsessed and y'all can we take a moment to take in how gorgeous this pearl necklace is? Legit one of the most gorgeous pearl pieces I own.
I feel like when it comes to wedding season we can have a lot of trouble with finding pieces and dresses. Last year I did a blog post discussing 5 tips and tricks I follow for wedding season. I linked it right here in case you guys want to check it out!
Y'all I am having some serious catching up to do. After a solid week away from the blog to have some vacation time and rest and relaxation. I am so excited to finally be back in business around here on the blog. So what have I been up to you may ask!
Well...
Two weekends ago, I went to Nashville with some of my very favorite blogger babes. I love these girls beyond words, and so spending a weekend with them was a huge and wonderful honor. I had such a blast with them, in the next few weeks make sure to look out for a total recap of the weekend with my favorite gals ever. After being home from Nashville for one day. Connor and I departed for Myrtle Beach for a week vacation with my family that Monday. It was so nice to be surrounded by family and not work and just enjoy the simple things in life.
On top of that, I am back to the old college grind today. Yes, today starts the new semester and my Junior year of college. Can you guys believe I am a junior??? Because I feel like yesterday I just started college. Now a junior, insane to me!
Now on to today's post....
Okay, I may have said this a few times but I have this thing for a good denim dress. Like what is the best piece of clothing to have for fall? It has to be a good denim dress, you can wear them with booties, slides, flats and a wedge. Making it the universal dress to have in one's closet. When I got this adorable dress from PB&J Boutique, I fell in love with the denim, of this dress. That might sound weird but the light wash of this denim makes it perfect for the transition to the next season. Not to mention the ends of this dress are frayed which adds some dramatic and fabulous detail to it. Oh and this little number has POCKETS, this is a huge important factor over here for me. PB&J has the cutest dresses for the changing season but this one stole my heart and it comes at such a good price.
I am beyond ready for fall to roll around however, I am not ready to just switch up my closet just like that. So for me, This dress makes for the perfect transition to the season. I am also loving these shoes, from Marshalls. I picked them up a few weeks ago before I left for Nashville and wore them the majority of the time I was there. Not only are they the perfect color for fall but they are the perfect wedge. Not too tall and not too short. Which makes for the perfect shoe if you ask me.
Not to mention they come in so many wonderful colors. I linked tons of other options below that are awesome for summer/ late summer.
Excited to be back finally, I missed you guys more than anything!
Thank you so much to PB&J sponsoring this post today!
If there was one thing my mamma taught me in life, it had to be finding new purposes for things. That always stuck with me. However, it really stuck with me when it came to clothes, shoes, and bags.
Let's face it fall is kinda around the corner and the switch from off the shoulder cute tops is starting to switch to knits and booties. And with August just around the corner, that means a serious switch is about to happen. I have made an official decision to purchase no more summer clothing. instead, I'm starting to switch over to more versatile pieces to wear into the fall.
Hense where this gorgeous sweat shirt/ bell sleeve number came from. I love having pieces in my closet that can be comfortable and yet super comfortable. I mean can we just say that is my entire moto when it comes to Coffee And A Blonde. Comfortable, versatile and staples three things that I can not live without in my life.
What I loved most about this dress is the possibility I had with pairing it with booties and a sweater. These kind, of pieces have to be my absolute favorite in this world. When I was actually on my way to shoot this look I mentioned how in Septemeber I was going to style this dress again. But this time I was going to be showing it off for fall!!! Also, I am lusting over these new sunnies that I snagged from Banna Republic the other day! They are so perfect for right now! The best part is they are under $10!!! So don't run walk!
After taking a break from social media and my blog I am happy to be back to normal! Last week I was on vacation with my family and I just got back on Saturday afternoon. Today is my first day of sophomore year in college and I could not be more excited to longer be the new one on campus! This school year is going to be fantastic because I won't be on campus as much! Instead, I will have more time to work on material and things for my blog! Which was always my goal for the fall semester so I am excited!
As for this dress, I purchased it last summer and fell in love with the color and texture of it! I packed it to wear to the beach and I love how easy and breathable it is. Especially when you are in the South breathable is so important!
