BLUE GODDESS — blog by H A I L E Y

So ladies, I found the cutest lace maxi dress that will really make a statement wherever you go! If you know me personally, than you know my style is pretty unique as I like to stand out. ;)

This blue lace mesh overlay maxi dress from Pinkblush has all the pretty details!! I seriously fell in love with it when I saw it online! It has a v-neckline (that's not too lowcut) and super cute scalloped edges! The back of this dress has a long zipper closure and is unlined at top so I prefer to wear it without a bra to show off the mesh embroidery. I love wearing dresses even in the Fall and Winter paired with an oversized cardigan or leather jacket. I don't normally shop as often after I had Savannah because my style has changed a bit and I'm picky with the way things look on me. But I'm obsessed with this dress as it's easy to style and super comfy to wear!

For this outfit, I paired it with my Chinese Laundry gladiator sandals for a beachy, boho look since the weather is still in the 60's here. I actually found them on sale for $29 on Amazon a few years ago! :) These shoes have been my go-to lately because they are just so comfy, and the cognac color goes with all my Fall wardrobe!

My handbag is Bottega Veneta and I bought it from The RealReal for $550! It retails for $2,200 so it was a no brainer to buy it especially since the hobo shape is a classic staple for everyone's bag collection. I went with the Medium Intrecciato Nappa Veneta bag because it's the perfect size for my petite frame. It was the only one left on their site and it's very RARE that you will find bags priced so low (especially for designers like Bottega). I love brands made in Italy and their handbags are made from the softest leather with suede interior! I've been looking for a bag in this caramel color and so glad that I got a great deal on it! Gotta love buying designer items for 50-75% off of retail. You can shop some similar items here and new members will get $25 site credit to spend.

Adding that final touch with some shiny, gold accessories! Again, sorry but I found some of these items on sale years ago so the exact items I'm wearing are sold out. :( I got the headpiece from a Nasty Gal sample sale in LA for $15, and my Versace watch was on sale for $500 online at Amazon. My white stone pendant necklace is from Charming Charlie...I love their shop because everything is color coordinated and their jewelry is super affordable! I love pairing the long lariat style necklaces with maxi dresses because I think it compliments the length of the look, but you can always style it with some dainty jewelry if you prefer. I usually like chokers since Savannah pulls on my jewelry, but this long druzy necklace looked better with the look I was going for. Plus, the necklace is a great distraction when we're out waiting for food or when I'm nursing her...so it's a #momwin! :)
