Yellow Blossom Maxi Dress

Good morning and happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend with friends and family. It's been three weeks now since having baby Olivia (birth story coming soon) and I am still recovering from my c-section and trying to adjust to my new schedule. Being a Mommy is the best thing ever and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Life is good!

During the summertime, there is nothing that I love more than maxi dresses. They are easy to wear, light weight, breathable, and there are so many different colors and prints to choose from. I'm not going to lie, a pretty good portion of my closet is filled with maxi dresses.

I love this fun yellow printed maxi dress. It's bright, flowy, and I love the ruffled detail around the neckline.

Bump Style: Black and White Damask Print Dress

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by to this little space of mine. I am (finally) getting back to blogging and it feels pretty great. Today I have to share this fantastic dress with you. Not only is this one of the dresses from my online boutique (Sassy Sweet Modesty), but even more so, I jumped up and down when I was actually able to squeeze this cute big belly of mine into a size medium. Wahoo!

I love everything about this dress. The print, the cut, the zipper all the way up the back, the 3/4 length sleeves, and the length of the dress. It's modest, chic, fashionable and I think it accentuates my baby bump perfectly.

Flowy Flower Top and Sequin Headband

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was good, minus the fact that E got me sick on Saturday with a nasty cold. Sunday was a hang around on the couch kind of day. Today I am feeling just a tad bit better, but not too much. Hoping my work day flies by so I can go home and rest up.
So lets take a minute to talk about this top that I am styling! This probably has to be my new go-to top. I am in love with it and I thank my Husband Josh for picking it out. It comes in two different colors. Dark grey and cream. Josh tried to get me to buy both and I decided to just get the one and another plaid top that I had picked out. I regret that. After wearing it, I think I might just go back and get the cream colored one too now! I love the flower print, and how flowy it is. Its so soft and comfortable. I decided to pair it with black leggings, brown boots and this killer sequin headband which I have worn two days in a row.
How would you style this top?

When I am out shopping, you can usually find me at SAVERS or Goodwill. It's so amazing all the designer brands (in great condition) that I find for next to nothing. When I first started thrifting, it was a little nerve racking and overwhelming with racks and racks of clothes all mixed together, but now its like a giant treasure hunt for me to search and find little gems of clothing. This dress was one of those "gems" I found. One day when I was at SAVERS, I was having one of those shopping days where you just can't find anything. I was about ready to leave when I noticed the sleeves of this dress sticking out from the rack. I went over and picked it up and immediately fell in love with it! I was able to pick this dress up for $6.99! Come to find out, this dress is from Nordstrom's and retails for $148! 

Woot Woot! Score! I love the gathered fabric in the front, how form fitting it is and the fact that I can wear it in the spring, summer, fall, and in the winter too! See how I wore it for the winter HERE

Leaf Printed Wrap Dress with Belt Detail

Yes! We are 1/2 way through the week and Halloween is in just 2 days! What are you going to be? I am going to be a gypsy and E is going to be Sophia the First. Hubby has to work on Halloween (boooooo) because right now is one of our busiest times of the year for our company. But......we are doing Trunk or Treat tomorrow night at our church, so at least he will be able to go to that! 

Okay.. lets move on here and talk about this fantastic dress that I am wearing. I am in love with this leaf printed wrap dress. Everything about this dress is amazing. The quality/material, the detail of the print and the gold attached belt. 

If you didn't get a chance to read my previous post, I started my own online boutique company called Sassy Sweet Modesty (about a week ago) and I couldn't be more excited about it. I have had such a great response and have been shipping out orders. Thank you for your support and your business! 

These days, its so hard to find modest clothing that is chic, stylish and fashionable, yet modest. I have a huge passion for all things modest. Personally, when I dress modestly I believe it sends a message of purity and honor. It shows that I have self-respect and self-control over my body. When I dress modestly, I am saying that I posses inner qualities for which I should gain appropriate attention and value from others. I want to show and prove to others around the world that you can still dress modestly and look absolutely amazing! Right now my website is in the works and hopefully (fingers crossed) will be done soon. In the meantime, I have been accepting orders on Facebook and Instagram. If you have any questions or would like to order a specific item(s), you can contact me on FB, Instagram, or through email: kimberly@sassysweetmodesty.com

Fashion Friday Link Up: 30th Birthday!

Today is my 30th Birthday. I will be honest with you and tell you that I don't feel 30 in the least bit. I feel like I'm in my mid-twenties and people still tell me I look like I'm in my early 20's. I'll take it! Yesterday I took the day off work and spent the day with my Mom. We got pedicures, had a nice lunch and spent the entire day shopping. We will see what Josh is up to this year for my Birthday! He always has a big surprise planned. Cannot wait to see what he has up his sleeve this year!

Hope you have a great day today and make sure to link up your outfits below!

FRESHLY PICKED MOCCS

Look. At. These. Moccs. Aren't they THE cutest shoes you have ever seen?!?! I was so excited, as was E when these arrived in the mail from Rachel at Freshly Picked. 

Susan Petersen (Owner) started making baby moccasins in 2009 after becoming frustrated by the lack of well-designed baby shoes. Using her second child, Gus, as a mocc-tester, and a bag of scrap leather she picked up at a yard sale, she began experimenting with designs. Working at her kitchen table, on a shoestring budget, Susan persisted through some disastrous attempts until she had created a pair of moccasins that not only looked adorable on Gus’ chubby little feet, but stayed on his feet as well. Since then the moccasins have gone through about six design changes. Each change has perfected the look and the fit of the soft-soled shoe. The moccasins you purchase today are durable, well designed, and most importantly: stay on your child’s foot. Money was tight at the time Susan started and in order to earn money to start her business she got resourceful. Her brother owns a window installation business and in the summer of 2009 she convinced him to let her keep the old windows that he was removing from the houses. She spent a whole summer banging the glass out of the windows because they were encased in aluminum frames. At the end of the summer she took the aluminum window frames to the scrap yard and recycled them to get money. She made $200 dollars and with that literal sweat equity, she started her business. Each pair of moccasins, whether being shipped to the rich and famous (or at least their kids), or shipped across town, are made with care, perfection and a love for the little feet they are intended for. 

Freshly Picked has a wide variety of moccs to choose from. I decided to go with this rose gold color which is to die for! The first words out of E's mouth when she took them out of the bag was "Ohhhh Mama! They are SO beautiful!!!" (hugging them up against her little face) These moccs literally look and feel as smooth as butter! E's words were "They feel like slippers! Can I sleep with them too?!?!" 

Well...I didn't let her sleep with them, but ever since we got them these are the only pair of shoes that she wants to wear.

WHAT WE WORE.

As I was uploading these pictures of E and I into a new post, I looked at them a few times and got emotional. My heart was immediately filled with so much gratitude for how faithful the Lord has been. He truly has blessed our family beyond measure and I am so thankful to Him. I have prayed for the opportunity of one of my heart's greatest desires: to be able to experience Motherhood....to become a Mother. He has blessed me with just that and has trusted me (and my Husband) enough to care for these little ones with broken hearts that need to be mended...that only He can mend.This little girl has brought so much joy into our lives and I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for her and for our future little family. Yes...E may not be my biological little girl, but I am still her Mother for right now during this season in our lives and I love every single second of it. I truly believe that blood doesn't make a family.... only LOVE does. 

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans 

and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.  -James 1:27

FRIDAY FASHION LINK UP: POLKA DOT DRESS

Dress: Beyond the Rack // Shoes: Zulily // Necklace: F21//  Purse: Juicy Couture // Sunnies: TJ Maxx This dress and these shoes just arrived in the mail about a week and a half ago from Zulily and Beyond the Rack. I am a huge fan of polka-dots, so I have already worn this dress a few times already. What I love about this dress besides the all over polka-dot print is the light material and how comfortable it is. My Dad picked out the shoes. These shoes are so comfortable which is so nice because I am on my feet a lot throughout the day at work. I also love the black and tan color detail which makes them look different.
Hope you lovelies have a great day and a fabulous weekend!!
