I surprised the hubby over the weekend with this little red dress for our date night.  Adrian has mentioned before that one of his favorite dresses on me was our bandage dress that I wore for our engagement pictures so I knew this one would be a hit too.  While I still haven’t lost all my baby weight yet and was a bit wary of this body-conscious style, this dress actually does an amazing job of pulling everything in and making me feel confident in my body again!  The fabric is thick and sturdy, and the strong zipper almost works almost like a corset to zip it all in.  Many of the dresses on The Kewl Shop are inspired from the classic dresses of Herve Leger but at a much more budget-friendly price point.  A few others that caught my eye include this blue fit-and-flare dress, this orange / gray option, and this more modest blue dress as well!  The dresses do run small so I would recommend sizing up — I’m wearing a size small here and probably could have even gone up to a medium.  And don’t forget to use my code CuteAndLittle for 15% off when you visit The Kewl Shop!

I hope your week is going well so far!  Spring break with Dylan has been so much fun and I’m really glad we’re getting this time to reconnect again.  It does leave me feeling wiped out by the end of the day though so I apologize for the more sporadic posting.  Thanks again for stopping by!
