I can’t believe this dress almost didn’t make the blog this summer!  It has become my go-to dress on the weekends for dinner with friends or dressed down with flats for running around town.  The color is what initially attracted me (pink is my favorite color), but I was worried the cutouts were too sexy to wear often.  Thankfully, pairing the dress with flat or wedges tones down this dress and makes it much more wearable.

I also realized I also didn’t mention that I’m now posting 3 days a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  4-5 days was just too much and I was burning out (especially since work got very busy!) and starting to resent my blog, which is the last thing I wanted.  I’m so thankful for everyone who reads and supports my little corner of the internet and the amazing people I’ve met through blogging so I didn’t want to stop blogging.  Hopefully 3 days is more manageable.  Thanks for your patience with my sporadic posting over the past few weeks/months!

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
