STRIPED SWING DRESS

I’m going to be super transparent for a quick second, y’all. Balancing a full-time marketing position, creating content for you lovely ladies on this little virtual space of mine and planning a wedding is no small feat. I recently have been struggling with finding down time for myself, let alone my personal relationships, so please bear with me if I am slightly delayed in getting back to any of you for whatever reason. I promise it isn’t intentional!

Do you ever struggle with work/life balance? I’m sure we all do at specific times in our lives, but do you have any personal tips or tricks to make your to-do list not seem so intimidating every morning? If so, I would absolutely love to hear to hear from you!

Okay, okay, okay! Now that I have spilled a little bit of my heart with you this Tuesday afternoon, we can jump into the real reason you’re probably here. This striped swing dress!

You know when you find the dress that you can picture yourself wearing all summer long? Well, that’s how I felt when I tried this beaut on. And let me just say, the material is not your average material – it’s so soft and so breathable, which is absolutely vital for Texas summers! Not to mention, it’ll be perfect for our Charleston vacation that is right around the corner! Sounds like a total winner, eh?

I love a good swing dress, not only because they’re crazy comfortable, but because they also are so versatile for any season! What about you? What do you love most about a swing dress?

I hope you are having a fabulous week! Thank you for stopping by! xx

    This is such a nice dress, you know me I’m all about those stripes! It’s so incredible how many OTHER things most bloggers are doing. We are the epitome of multitasking because none of us JUST blog. We always have so much on our plate, but I have no idea how you’re managing with all you’ve got going on. Planning a wedding while doing a blog and job sounds CRAZY! Keep rocking it! xx adaatude.com

    I am in the same boat with school and work. I am so ready for the semester to be over with! I am getting a marketing degree and I had no idea how much math was going to be involved.

    Black and white are my favorite color combination. (I’ve probably already told you that, huh?!?) I love the dress and can see myself wearing it over and over, as well.

    I love a great swing dress and this one is super cute!! Stripes are one of my favourite patterns! Finding a good work/life balance can be challenging. I make a lot of lists and just try to tackle what’s on it. I do my best to not stress out over the stuff that doesn’t get done.
