I stumbled on this dress (on sale) and just had to share. It's an absolute perfect fall layering piece.Throw on some black tights and booties and you are good to go.

Review: Sheinside Florals

I got a new batch of goodies from Sheinside this week, and they are my favorite things so far. It doesn't hurt that they are all floral, because floral print is basically my love language.

black v-neck long sleeve floral split dress 

breastfeeding necklace 

twisted gibson tuck hair tutorial

This maxi dress is pretty much the best addition to my closet this year. It's feminine, floaty, and freaking breastfeeding friendly. Do not be surprised to see me wearing this for the rest of the summer.

It does run really small (I ordered the XL), and is sheer.

beige lapel long sleeve floral crop blazer

oxford shirt

white jeans 

similar necklace

This floral blazer is similar to this one that Mary posted on a few weeks ago. It's just really bright and fun.

FIY, I ordered a medium.

White Short Sleeve Floral Dipped Hem Blouse

jones market necklace

similar skirt

To round out the floral trifecta I got this blouse. The cut is really similar to this blouse & I love the feminine print & zipper at the back.

Go Get It: Target {No. 10}

Target's clothing section is always on point. I mean, you know this, we all know this. It is simultaneously the reason I both always want to go to Target for diapers and avoid the place at all costs.

3 | Tulip Maxi Skirt | $20

8 | Simone Block Heel Sandal | $28 (I have and love these)
9 | White Faux Leather Jacket | $45

I am especially into the dress (a nursing friendly maxi with sleeves, yes please). And those heels... the proportions are pretty much perfect (they also have a great name).

Must Have: Spring Dresses (+ Nursing Friendly)

This weekend's forecast shows temperatures in the 80s. I am over the moon. I thoroughly enjoyed the cooler weather and all the boots and layers that go with it. But now is the time for bare legs and tan arms. Dresses are where it's at when it comes to warm weather dressing. I saw this beautiful number and just had to share.

Midi Dress With Kimono Sleeve In Bird Print - $42.33 (Orig. 84.66)

Aside from the beautiful print, I love that it is breastfeeding accessible. I have found quite a few great dresses for spring, and they are all nursing friendly (and under $50). You're welcome.

Go Get It: Target {No. 4}

I've been kind of living at Target lately. I guess that's part of how they do what they do. They know you are going for diapers, or contact solution, or tampons and it's near impossible to drop in without perusing the clothes and shoes.

1 - 3/4 Sleeve Ponte Knit Striped Dress - $15 (Orig. $25)
