Old Navy Jersey Shift Dress and Pashmina Shawl

I touched this dress and then I couldn't walk away from it. It's super soft and comfortable. The perfect fall fabric. I wore it to the private opening of the Five and Dime Ale House in Hampden, Baltimore. It was absolutely fabulous. The food and drinks were to die for and the building renovations were simply beautiful. It opens today so go check it out! I added a super soft pashmina shawl I bought for $10 on the streets of NYC. Here are the details on this look.







Shop this look...

Old Navy Jersey Knit Shift Dress $30
I really struggled with what color to buy this in but I chose the hot color of fall, burgundy. I really like the black and if it goes on sale I might grab it. It's really a fantastic dress.


Amazon Pashmina Shawl $15
I have quite a few of these laying around and I'm glad scarfs have made such a huge comeback. The color on this one is fabulous.


I ended up having to change my shoes at night but my cognac mules were perfect for this look before it got too cold.


J. Crew Straw Clutch $39
Mine was from H&M this summer but here is a cute one from J Crew, I also found a few on ETSY.

How to Lula Roe

The first time I went to a Lula Roe party I bought an Irma and a pair of camo leggings mostly to be polite. They were soft and seemed wearable enough but Lula Roe is like crack, you get addicted fast. Once you realize how how comfortable and flattering it all is you just can't get enough. Here's a look back at my addiction and the best accessories to compliment them. I buy most of mine from Olivia Fink, but different sale's reps have different styles and you'll find once your a member of one group, you're a memember of 5. I put my sizes down (keep in mind I'm usually an 8). What I love best is how flattering Lula Roe is no matter what size you are so I've got some guest contributor's my sister Alison, my cousin Sarah, and my friend Leanne. Tonight Olivia will be posting her inventory at 9 pm. Check it out on her Facebook Group.

The Dresses:

You can take Lula Roe from being work appropriate to wedding chic. Try out these styles.

Amelia: The dressiest style which has a zipper in the back and pockets. I wear a L.


I wore this to a wedding and I spruced it up with a statement necklace and a leopard clutch.



Here's my friend Leanne in a beautiful blue Amelia size XL (she's usually a 14). Wouldn't this look great with a heeled boot.


Julia: I have to admit I'm afraid to buy this dress. I need to try it on again I fear it will expose my post baby tummy more than I want it to. However check out how fab it looks on Leanne in an XL.


How amazing would this look with a sexy strappy heel like this velvet dress sandal?


Here's Liv wearing a Julia to perfection with fringe booties. How fantastic is the pattern too? It's an XS.

Nicole: I love this style because it's super flattering. They also used to make a bunch of matching Dot Dots for girls. Scarlett loves to match. I'm so bummed they've discontinued Dot Dot. I wear a L (if my chest were smaller I could fit in a M).


I wore this very casually with a vintage coach bag and and ebay spike bracelet.



Matching dress for church. I paired mine with espadrilles and a Longchamp tote. 



This is the same print as the last one in different colors. We wore this to a courthouse wedding. We had Alice Evans Designs clutches and cuffs. The perfect way to spice up a simple dress.


Here is my friend Leanne rocking this gorgeous Nicole at a wedding a few weeks ago. She's wearing an XL. She matched it with a wedge sandal.

Carly: I love this dress and all it's versatility. I wear an XS.


I love the playfulness of this Carly and I'm on the hunt for one I like as much. I paired this with some peep toe booties and my Sole Society tote. 


This Carly is so super soft and it has a front pocket for a more casual look. I paired it with lace up flats and a lariat necklace.


This dress can be even more casual with a knot in the front and a comfy shoe. I'll be pairing my with leggings and Uggs come winter.



My cousin Sarah rocked this Carly in a S with a belt and red Hunter Boots.


The Skirts:

Cassie: I'm in love with this skirt and all the ways you can wear it. 


I paired with with an awesome acrylic necklace and an Old Navy tee. It's a S.


I dressed down this same skirt with a denim jacket and Adidas superstars.


Liv totally takes this to Mommy casual with a graphic tee. This is an XS.

Azure: I'm dying to get one of these I just haven't found a pattern I love in the right size. It looks super comfortable and a little more casual.


This Azure is an XL but Leanne says a L would probably be better. I love this black tank with the red skirt and leopard print lace up flats would be perfect!


I love how Lia made this fantastic patter the perfect summer outfit with a tank and filp flops. 

Maxi: This is a great skirt and people wear these a ton of ways.


Liv looks great in this Maxi when she was pregnant and afterwards she used it as a nursing cover!


The Leggings: 

Leggings are the bread and butter of Lula Roe. They are stupid soft and comfy and they seem to multiple like rabbits. I can dress them up or way down.


This is my all time most liked #ootd on instagram (@pinkhairfloosie). I paired these colorful print legggings with a tunic and studded flats. I wear OS.


During my trip to Kent Island all I packed was leggings with toms and havaianas. 


Here is Leanne in TC leggings with she paired with a long wrap shirt to make them work appropriate.

The Shirts: 

Irma: Big and comfy, they are lower in the back then the front making them the perfect pairing with leggings.


This was the first outfit I bought and I've gotten a lot of wear out of it. I love wearing this casual look with embellished slip ons for a little more jazz. This is an XS.


Liv shows us how to to knot it on the side for a more fitted look. Love that she matched it with converse. She's wearing an XXS.

Classic T: This flares at the waist hiding some of those tummy flaws and has a scoop neck which looks great on different chest sizes. It's also very soft.


This is a S and I'd really be happier with a M. This is definitely a mommy on the go look. I threw on some boots to dress it up a bit. 


Here's my friend Leanne wearing a XL Cassie in such a cute print with an XL Classic T tucked in. I'd love to see her pair this with a pretty black flat.

The Randy: This is a baseball style tee that is super comfy but I haven't yet found it in my size with an awsome pattern.


Lia is a rep and I love how she rocked this with jeans.

The Sweaters:

The Lindsey: This is a kimono style mid length sweatery like thing, that comes in differnt textures. Here's Liv wearing a M a couple different ways. $48



I love how Liv pairs her Lindseys with a long necklace.

Sarah: I adore this long cardigan it's a little pricey so pick one that is super versatile. This can go from the office to the mall to the grocery store. It's so soft and perfect for fall. 


This is my perfect fall outfit. Peep toe booties and my favorite ripped jeans. Mine's a S.


I was really sick this day and I wanted to be uber comfortable I completed the look with my rocket dogs sneakers.



Liv paired with Sarah with a Cassie and a white button up. This is the same S as I have.


Here's my sister with a beautiful blue L Sarah with a L Irma and TC leggings. Love this casual but perfect teacher look!

For me Lula Roe is an investment in my self worth. I love how beautiful it makes me feel. If you join Olivia's group she does loads of contests and give-a-ways. Host a party online or at your home and you'll earn lots of free goodies.

Army Vest and Gingham Look

@emilyanngemma (on instagram) from The Sweetest Thing Blog has fantastic style. I loved this look she posted last week so I recreated it with some cheaper pieces from TJ Maxx and Target. I was so in love with her look I copied it down to the gold chain bracelet and aviator sunnies. It was a big hit and pretty comfortable.




Shop this look...

I got my vest at TJ Maxx on clearance for $12 and it is super soft so you may want to check there, but here's a link to this year's vest. Mine is also a darker green.


Here's one from Macy's that's a little cheaper and a more similar color to Emily's.


Mine is from Target but they only have a few sizes left so here's a similar one. It's a really versatile piece that I've gotten a lot of use out of.


I really love these jeans they are so comfortable and cute, great color, nice distressing, over all a great buy.


My Qupid booties are sold out online (though they have a few sizes still in the stores) but these are a cute similar pair.



Mine is the cognac color and it's a really nice quality and big bag.

Mine are from Go Jane but they only have brown ones right now so here is a very similar pair from eBay.


I love this plastic bracelet from eBay it's super cute and super cheap! 


I love this bangle it's a good weight and a good thickness and really cute.
