No way to kick off the start of a new week quite like with a hot pink ruffled dress, am I right? Just setting the mood, y’all. Summer’s right around the corner! :)







EARRINGS (under $50) // NECKLACE // DRESS (tucked in back straps to make a halter neckline, wearing XS) // RING // SHOES
When I first shared a peek at this glamorous magenta and gold ensemble, I got so many questions about the hot pink dress. I had purchased it from Shopbop about a month or so ago, and it had sold out quickly. But I have the best news… I’ve found it fully in-stock in all sizes from one of my favorite retailers HERE!
Fun fact: It’s designed to tie at the shoulders, but I tucked the back two straps into the dress and tied the front two around my neck for a halter look. Love that you can create two different looks this way!
You can’t tell in these photos, but the ends of each tie end in a gorgeous gold beaded fringe. (Seen here.) I had fun playing into that detail with a few more gold accessories of my own, including the elegant Greta necklace, super popular Nadene earrings and the Rumer ring from my collection with Accessory Junkie.
A quick reminder that my collection closes tomorrow night! So be sure to check out all of the fun here and make sure to get your order in before it’s over!
One final random but fun note about this dress… I was wearing it at about 10am (casual, casual) at the Four Seasons Orlando photographing a few pieces from my collection when I ran into two of my long-time favorites… Sarah and Keil Patrick! At first, I didn’t recognize them because of the masks and because, well, the last place I expected to see these New Englanders was in sunny Florida! But when I put everything together, I nearly lost my mind. :) SUCH a huge treat to meet two of the first bloggers/Instagrammers I ever followed! You’ll find Sarah’s blog here and Sarah and Keil’s fashion brand here!

Love from the Sunshine State,

That trick of tucking the back straps to create a halter neckline is genius. Love that one dress gives two completely different looks.
I love how you modified the dress into a halter neckline; that’s such a clever styling tip. It really shows how versatile a statement piece like a hot pink dress can be. I’m always looking for ways to reinvent items in my own closet.Sarah [email protected]://voltagedropcalculator.net
I’m loving the vibe of this post, especially the earring recommendation – under $50 is a total score. I’m getting a little excited for summer already, and that hot pink ruffled dress is definitely making my Monday better.

That hot pink ruffled dress is absolutely stunning, and I love the clever way you styled it as a halter! It is so exciting that you ran into Sarah and Keil Patrick while shooting your collection, what a small world.

I recently used BufferbloatTest to check my network performance for smoother uploads. It is a great tool for anyone working remotely or blogging on the go. Can not wait to see more of your summer looks!
The color on this is really vibrant, I’m already picturing how it would make my perpetually cluttered floor look slightly more intentional. My guests might even think I have my life together.
This collection seems to have a serious case of wanderlust, and honestly, I’m feeling it too. I might need to buy an outfit just to feel more qualified to go somewhere interesting.
Love that halter

This looks like some serious data crunching happening here. I hope there’s pizza involved for all this spreadsheet wizardry.
My brain just did a little somersault trying to process all those cells. Is this where they hide the secrets to the universe?
Wow, someone’s definitely organized! I’m impressed, though I suspect my own spreadsheets would look more like abstract art.
This dress looks like it could survive a nuclear apocalypse, which is pretty much my vibe for my next vacation. I wonder if it comes in “I’ve-been-through-a-lot” brown.
Honestly, if this outfit doesn’t scream “effortlessly chic while secretly judging everyone’s life choices,” I don’t know what does. It’s like my wardrobe finally understood my inner monologue.
