Styling a Black Poplin Shirtdress from Lauren Ralph Lauren
This is one of those outfits that looks far better in person than in photos. I think fashion can often be like models; some women who look average in person look phenomenal in photographs, some outfits that look meh in real life look gorgeous when photographed… and some that look pretty fab IRL are meh on film.

Outfit details: Black shirtdress – Lauren by Ralph Lauren | Black belt – Lauren by Ralph Lauren | Teal suede pumps – Jessica Simpson “Terrance” | Silk scarf – Thrifted | Gold bangles – Ralph Lauren | Gold charm bracelet – J. Crew via eBay

I saw someone on another blog style a silk scarf around their wrist and decided to try it. This is a hankerchief-size scarf which made it easier. I liked it, and liked it even better glammed up with some gold bracelets over it.

I was going to return these teal suede Jessica Simpson pumps after getting the blue ones on eBay, but then I realized that I got these for only $20 due to an online sale and thought they were cute enough to keep for that price!

This weekend was pretty gray and gloomy, but we still had fun. Saturday there was a music festival in the town square – my husband went to take pictures, I went with our daughter so she could get her groove on. She's a huge fan of live music. There was a troupe of hula hoopers there and they brought extra hoops for the crowd which was so fun!


Gorgeous! YOu are looking fabuous! Those shoes are amazing! And E – so, so cute!
looking very “mad men.” nice. and emerson trying the hula hoop starts my day with a smile – too adorable!
OMG! I just love how you used the scarf as a bracelet.. :3

You look straight up tiny in this! Also, the shoes and scarf are the perfect finishing touches. I really need to remember to wear scarves like that more often.
AMAZING shoes!!! Definitely keepers 🙂
I think it comes across well in the photo, for what it’s worth.
Love the shoes, wish I could wear heels.
Those shoes are so fun! What a great spring color.

Scrumptious! Love this with those shoes! I am definitely inspired 🙂
I’d love to wear this whole outfit!! The fit and flare of the dress is perfect, I need more of this in my wardrobe! And what a cute little rump shaker, Emerson will be a music lover for life!
I think it looks lovely photographed! I love this shape on women, myself included – and your color combo here is so much fun!
