Neutral Pleats + Punchy Corals

We had ourselves a little taste of summer last weekend and I may have taken it upon myself to wear all the pretty dresses!  I love the flowy skirt and pleats are a known weakness that I just cannot resist!  The upper half of this dress is slim-fitting and actually reminds me a bit of a bustier as it cinches in to the waist while a sweetheart neckline flatters the face up top. As for fit, I would say this dress does run true to size unless you are on the bustier side, in which case I would say to size up.  While I did take my usual size, I am still breastfeeding and probably should have sized up to accommodate for the fact that I’m still around two cup sizes larger than normal… #momlife

And why yes, this dress does have pockets!  🙂

I’m loving the saddlebag trend right now and this bright orange crossbody could not be more perfect for spring / summer!  The mini size is perfect for petites yet is still large enough to fit everything that I need comfortably.  Surprisingly enough, the shape is actually quite sturdy and the leather is amazingly durable (and trust me, my two kids definitely give it a good run for its money!).  I paired the bright color with similarly punchy coral earrings that helped tie everything together.
