Dress: ASTR // Shoes: Charles David // Clutch: Elements Dallas // Choker: Vanessa Mooney // Sunnies: Karen Walker 

Surprise, I found yet another black dress that I could not pass up! I saw this ASTR dress at Nordstrom, and knew the long sleeves would be perfect for fall and winter weather. The bell sleeves give a fun nod to the 70s, but are not so large that they become unflattering. The length of the dress is perfect to pair with any pair of heels, flats, over the knee boots, or even with tights. For a warmer option, I would style this dress with these black over the knee boots I found at ASOS. I am wearing a small and it fits true to size. The lace up front gives the dress personality without being too low cut or loose enough to gape open. I added a thick velvet choker from Vanessa Mooney to complete the lace up neckline. This ASTR bell sleeve dress also comes in a gorgeous olive color as well. Shop my entire look and some similar dresses below! xoxo

Dress: ASTR // Jacket: Gap // Shoes: Vince (similar) // Earrings: Anthropologie (similar) // Bracelet: J.Crew

Earlier this week I shared my time at Create & Cultivate Downtown Los Angeles, and gave a sneak peak of the dress I wore. When I was packing for LA, I quickly realized that I did not have an outfit that I liked and felt comfortable sitting in most of the day. I saw this ASTR tie front dress online at Nordstom, but they did not have any in the Dallas area. Naturally, I trusted the mail man and had the dress over nighted, all while crossing my fingers that it would fit. I ordered an extra small because I have another skirt from ASTR with a similar cut and an extra small fit best. This dress is great because it has adjustable straps and the tie front can easily be adjusted in order to make the dress fit best for everyone. The top button on the dress fits tighter on the rib cage and slight pleats makes the bottom of the dress easy to move in, but still gives a flattering shape. This tie front dress was easy to sit in and move around all day, and it went well with my denim jacket for cooler AC temperatures. The only complaint I have about this tie front dress, is the material. While I love linen, the dress wrinkles very easily and the second I sat down, I had a wrinkle across my lap.

Top: ASTR Off the Shoulder Crop Blouse // Skirt: ASTR Stripe Button Front A-Line Skirt // Bag: Neiman Marcus

I recently booked my first cruise, and even though it is a whole 60 days away, I immediately started shopping for beach clothes (whoops)! I found this striped set at Nordstrom and both the skirt and top are currently 40% off the original price! I ordered the crop top in a small just in case it was tight on the arms, but I would have been fine with an extra small (it does not fit tightly on the arms). Since the skirt is fitted at the waist, I ordered it in an extra small. I love the button detail down the front of the skirt, as well as the very useful pockets. This striped set is perfect for a day at the beach or a causal patio dinner. Shop more of my favorite beach ready sets below! xoxo
