Criss Cross

Happy Tuesday! Lately, I have been loving dresses (as I'm quite certain you can tell by the content of my recent blog posts)! But today's dress is extra special because it's from my favorite local boutique, Nella Boutique! I absolutely love supporting small businesses, especially local ones. My family owns a small business so they are very near and dear to my heart. So much sweat, tears, love, and passion goes into running a small business.

The lovely ladies over at Nella Boutique gave me this gorgeous Black Criss Cross Swing Dress to style for y'all! This dress takes your average little black dress up a few notches. First of all, check out that neckline. No necklace required because it makes a statement all on it's own. Secondly, who doesn't love a swing dress?! They are flowy yet flattering. Perfect for every body type. And lastly, this dress has pockets! I mean, have I sold you yet? When I'm wearing a dress or skirt with pockets and someone tells me they like it, I automatically tell them about the pockets after saying thanks. Pockets are a game changer because they help out when you awkwardly don't know what to do with your hands, lol.

I styled this amazing little dress with leopard pumps, a few mixed metal jewels, leather earrings, and a neutral bag. This particular look would be so perfect for a date night or an evening out with friends. To make this look more daytime friendly for work or school, I would add dark skinny jeans or leggings with ankle boots. You can make your shorter dresses even more functional by styling them as tunics for an easy, comfortable daytime look. It's all about making your wardrobe work for you.

Have a great day, friends!
