Hi beauties!
Today, I’m styling this pretty little ruffled dress and talking about something personal that has been on my heart <3 Read on for details on this lilac Off-the-shoulder Summer Dress!
Lilac Off-the-shoulder Summer Dress
Outfit Details:
Dress: Chicwish c/o (currently unavailable) | Shoes: Ted Baker via The Shoe Box | Bag: Kate Spade (old) | Choker: Ettika
Is this dress not the cutest thing ever? I fell in love with the ruffled details on the sleeves, gorgeous color and off-the-shoulder look. I’ve probably worn it 100 times since I got it lol! It’s definitely a keeper 😉 I styled this lilac Off-the-shoulder Summer Dress with the pretty nude sandals, a fun bow bag and a glamorous gold choker. Although this dress is currently sold out, Chicwish has a TON of cute stuff out for fall! Definitely check it out 😉
On a more serious note…let’s address the elephant in the room. If you know me personally or follow me on Instagram, then you saw that the unimaginable happened. Yesterday, I found out that a childhood friend that I grew up with was a victim of the recent shooting. It was a very difficult day and I still cannot even fully comprehend this. I debated on whether or not to share this because it’s extremely personal and puts me in a very vulnerable position. I like to keep my blog and social media accounts a positive place and I like to live my life in a positive way. But unfortunately, the world is not always full of sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes it is a dark and cruel place full of things that we can’t always comprehend. I will never quite understand why this happened and how someone could do something so horrific that it changes the course of thousands of lives. I am not one to freely state my opinions or seek the attention of others or even share how I am feeling, but this just hit too close to home and I think that it’s important to share not only the good things in life, but the not so good as well. Fortunately, today is a new day and even though bad things happen that are out of our control, we can be a light in this dark world and give hope to those that need it the most <3

I always love your looks. You have the cutest feminine dresses!
I’m so sorry about your friend 🙁 Me too; I’ll never get why these kind of things happen, how people can be so cruel.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Loss is never easy, and my thoughts are with you. Hoping you find peace!
I am very sorry to hear that you were personally impacted by the senseless tragedy in Las Vegas. I am not even what words, I as a stranger, can provide to you in your time of despair. But, I would say that you do have a country of support out there for those that survive. It makes us realize that we only have today, and not promised tomorrow. Prayers with you and the rest of the country as we mourn.
