Enchanted Silk Dress

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

After the Shake the Tree Yumi Kim event, I fell in love with Yumi Kim pretty hard.

My taste isn’t super feminine, but I find the floral prints of her dresses very appealing. It’s hard to explain, but I find that the Yumi Kim dresses I’ve worn have spoken for themselves.

I found Yumi Kim on Rent the Runway, and had to sneak this Enchanted Silk maxi into my last Unlimited order. Georgina invited me to join her on a Spirit of Boston Cruise, and this dress was absolutely perfect for it! Although, I did regret having worn the heels all day. My ankles are still not very happy with me.

Since I got so many compliments and a lot of question about this particular dress on Instagram, I wanted to share the details here as well.

For the cruise I also wore a purse and made sure to include a very similar one in the shop this post section below!

Fossil Crossbody Bag + Free People Top

Top: Free People | Jeans: DL1961 | Shoes: Primark | Purse: Fossil

While I do typically useRent the Runway for dresses most of the time, that is not all that they have.

When I came across this Free People top, I though it looked unique in a way that piqued my intrigue.

Despite the fact that I was actually getting ready to cancel my Rent the Runway Unlimited subscription, and only rent something when I really needed, I figured just one more time wouldn’t hurt! Besides, it really goes with the vibe of the crossbody bag that I got from Fossil.

Although, the style of the Fossil crossbody bag isn’t exactly my choice for everyday, it’s definitely a nice piece to use from time to time.

Add the shoes that Gabby of First & Warren said I had to get during one of our Primark excursions and the DL1961 jeans that I’ve been wearing quite frequently, and you have a chic yet minimalistic look with a whole lot of style!

Olive Green Dress + New Sunglasses

As much a I love to rock a good pair of skinny jeans, sometimes it’s nice to dress up a little.

Like, in an actual dress.

This olive green dress from Bailey 44 from Rent the Runway, has a very 1930s feel to it.

While I’m not into the rockabilly style like that, this dress reminds me of Keri Hilson’s Pretty Girl Rock music video. And that I can fully get behind.

The dress is simplistic enough to accessorize a number of different ways. Which makes it the perfect excuse to bust out my new sunglasses!

So, if you follow me on Snapchat, you’ve probably seen me try on a particular pair of Prada sunnies.

I’m overly obsessed with them and have tired them on.

A lot.

As I do, literally, every time I walk by a Sunglass Hut.

It’s bad.

Luckily for me, I’d recently won a gift card to TJ Maxx (thanks to the grand opening of the one on Newbury Street). I was able to use some of the balance to get a pair of sunglasses. And, in a similar enough style to make me one very happy girl!

Grey Wrap Dress

My number one rule for buying clothes, is to try it on first! I haven’t always done this and ended up with clothes that don’t fit right or missing out on clothes that could have fit even though the tag said otherwise. So now, I try it on to make sure that I really want it and will actually wear it.

Ordering clothes online can be a bit trickier. For this, I read the sizing info and the reviews and take them with a grain of salt. When I saw the TY-LR Grey Georgia Dress on Rent the Runway, I thought it was the chicest wrap dress I had ever seen. The loose fit of it was a major part of the appeal for me, because comfort. But, when I read the reviews pretty much every single one said don’t get it. Much of this had to do with the fact that the dress was loose.

Since that was what I like most about it, I got it anyways. And I’m glad I did.

The reviews weren’t totally inaccurate. I had to wear my Miraculous bra and be a little cautious when walking or sitting. For me, this was so worth it! I mean, it looked great and I felt hot in what one reviewer called a potato sack. I say, sometimes it comes down to how you wear the dress.

Blue Milly Vest

Shorts: H&M (similar)

Social media has quickly become my source for outfit inspiration. I saw how someone else had styled this blue Milly vest on the Rent the Runway Instagram and knew that it had to be in my next Rent the Runway Unlimited order.

Last summer I just had to have a pair of high waist denim shorts. I got them and they show a little more cheek than I anticipated. The vest covers that right up and I don’t have to worry.

And I wore heels with it because I’m obsessed with these Charlotte Russe finds, but I will be holding on to the vest for a while so I can wear it again with a pair of cute sneakers or flats.

I really can’t get over the pop of color! I mean, royal blue isn’t something I have a lot of, but maybe that should change…

Slate & Willow Showstopper

On Instagram, I shared a sneak peek of the dress I rented from Rent the Runway for my eighth anniversary with the manfriend. It was not the same dress that I wore to our anniversary dinner at Ballo Italian Restaurant, which may have caused a tiny bit of confusion.

I rented three dresses as a part of my Rent the Runway Unlimited monthly subscription.

The Slate & Willow Carlene Dress was what I wore after dinner. We stayed at Mohegan Sun and gambled the night away.

I say that very loosely.

While we did gamble a little, we mostly walked around, did a some window shopping and grabbed ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s. And we talked.

A lot.

We talked about how far we’ve come in our eight years together. About mistakes we’d made and the future we see for ourselves. It was the perfect way for us to celebrate our anniversary.

As we walked and talked, we also broke a lot of necks! I mean it’s kind of hard not to draw attention in a sequined statement piece like this Slate & Willow one. Especially with the low cut back.

My February Birchbox

When I say that I can’t get enough of the Birchbox monthly featured editor curated boxes, I mean that I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH of the Birchbox monthly featured editor curated boxes.

For my February Birchbox I selected the Rent the Runway curated box and I am seriously so freaking glad that I did!

First, the box alone is just GORGEOUS. It really is all in the details.

After getting to try a few derma e products at Simply Stylish in NYC this past year, I discovered that I can’t get enough of the brand and their product was the main reason I decided to go with the Rent the Runway box.derma e Anti-Wrinkle Vitamin A Glycolic Scrub | $12.75
