I've been wanting to try out Shein for awhile, but I've been hesitant because everything ships from overseas and I've been burned by those type brands so many times in the past. After reading through tons of reviews, I finally took the plunge on this 50s-style calico dress. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this dress. It's polyester, lightweight and stretchy. I will probably end up reinforcing the buttons, which is pretty common with this style of button. I haven't washed it yet but don't plan on drying it as I'm pretty confident it will shrink. This style of dress is one of my absolute favorites because of how flattering it is, especially that band around the mid-section that helps keep everything nice and flat. The only thing that would make this dress better is pockets.
I'm your mom friend who's probably overdressed for the occasion, would rather drink Mountain Dew than wine, and definitely stayed up too late reading last night. Thanks for joining me on this crazy journey!
Wow, these last two weeks passed in a blur! There's been a lot going on - so much so that it's actually kind of hard to focus on wha...
February Book Club Pick
Of course February's pick has to be a love story, and this Pretty Woman-esque tale feels right up my alley. Lottie and Huxley meet by pure chance, but it's not exactly a "meet cute" like you see in the movies. Lottie is on the prowl for a rich husband, and Huxley is trying to worm his way out of a business deal gone wrong. The two strike up a deal - Lottie moves into Huxley's mansion and pretends to be his fiancé. Nothing could go wrong, right? Except she falls for the lie.
