MY GO TO BLACK DRESS

You always hear how every girl needs a good LBD. Well it’s true! Every girl needs a go-to black dress. You know that one dress you can wear over and over and never tire of it. That dress that you can wear to the office, dress it up for date night, or throw on your favorite sneaks to run errands! This LEITH RUCHED DRESS is that dress for me. The ruching has perfect placement to make your waist look small for such a flattering look. It is made of a soft cotton, so it is oh so comfortable. I love the long-sleeves because I freeze everywhere I go. Although they have it in a SLEEVELESS version as well at 40% OFF.

You will see it can be styled so many ways! AND you will not believe the price!!!  I LOVE this RUCHED DRESS as well. Only $40 and comes in 8 colors. I hope you will see you can wear this dress with so many combinations. I love when I can my money’s worth out of any item I purchase! Most of these dresses are under $50. Scroll down to see the many ways you can wear your go-to black dress.

Heels

Once you have your Go To Black dress, you can wear it with your favorite PUMPS for the office or make a statement with leopard printed or colored heels. With a simple black dress you can get creative and go BOLD with your shoes! I love a block heel and there are so many fun ones out with STUDS or RHINESTONES. I am loving the decorative heel on THESE from Target (Under $30!) The block heels I am wearing are some of the most comfortable heels I own.

Jacket

When I see all of these FUZZY COATS and it makes me wish we lived somewhere cooler. Thankfully it has been cold here (OK for this FLORIDA girl, 60 degrees is COLD), so I have had an excuse to buy more than one. Long, short, furry, or fuzzy, I want them all! LEATHER JACKETS are always a good idea. I love the leather jackets with the draping in front to give the outfit a dressier feel or the go-to biker jacket for a funky vibe.

Boots

You will not regret buying a great pair of BLACK OTK BOOTS. I would wear these boots with not only this dress but they are also great with skirts and denim. I am obsessed with this cozy look and will be pulling it out anytime it drops below 65 degrees here. The coat is beyond soft and the whole outfit is comfy, which is what this momma wants because many times I would rather be in my sweats lounging at home.

You could wear booties with this coat and dress as well and it would still be an amazing look for a date night or girls night out!

And last, but not least, my favorite and most worn way to style this dress. Simple sneakers and a denim jacket. Another comfy way to run errands or run after kiddos any day of the week.  I love the OVERSIZED TRUCKER DENIM JACKET lately. Another piece worth the investment because you can literally throw it over any outfit.

Sneakers

Sneakers are my achilles heel. I would buy every single pair listed below if my budget and closet would allow me!

Denim Jacket

I love the OVERSIZED TRUCKER DENIM JACKET lately. Another piece worth the investment because you can literally throw it over any outfit. My other two favorites of the ones listed below are the frayed and worn edges and the denim jackets with patches.

XOX,

Mandy

Today, we celebrate this girl turning FOURTEEN. I Today, we celebrate this girl turning FOURTEEN. I wrote most of this when she turned 10. I have changed a few things. And we are still so proud of whose she’s becoming with each passing day. 
.
I don’t think I will ever be able to do her justice by my words on this platform. I always say I didn’t realize how much I needed her till I had her and that statement becomes more true every day. 
.
She is funny. Not the telling jokes funny and trying really hard to be funny. The kind where you really have to listen to her and you don’t remember what she even said a day later, but you remember her making you belly laugh and crying funny. 
.
She is kind. At school they had to go around and say what they admire in their classmates and one of them said Audrey is kind, even when someone isn’t kind to her. OH MY HEART! I cried. I still cry thinking about this. As a parent, you try to teach your kiddos this, you know “when you can be anything in the world, be kind.” But honestly that is HARD. Our flesh wants to do the opposite and its always easier to say these cliche statements and way harder to act them out. And to hear that Audrey practices this makes my heart explode! I am still hearing stories of her putting this into practice. 
.
She is thoughtful. At Christmas, she made a list and bought for each family member with her own money. Without giving it a second thought. And she made sure the gifts were exactly what they wanted. she still does this year after year. 
.
The best sister. We tell Brydon everyday he is so lucky. From sitting at lacrosse tournaments and never complaining to looking at me and advocating for him to switch school because she knew what Brydon needed even if it meant she was giving up her favorite time of the day, B driving her to school. 
.
And today, this amazing human turns 14. Still trying to figure out how to slow time down. But for now, Kris and I are cherishing every minute God has given us with her.
“God is love” Merry Christmas from our family “God is love” Merry Christmas from our family to yours!♥️🎄♥️ 1 John 4: 13-18

From sea to the blue waters of Nassau, day 3 and 4 From sea to the blue waters of Nassau, day 3 and 4 aboard Celebrity Silhouette did not disappoint. Relaxing poolside to relaxing seaside at Baha Mar, with amazing food (lots and lots of ice cream) and more entertainment than we knew what to do with, we had the best getaway on our short Caribbean cruise. We came back relaxed and recharged. @celebritycruises #CelebrityPartner #ad
