bell sleeve dress — Blog

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend! What do you think of the new Sweet & Sauer site design? I love it and I'm so excited with how it turned out.

How cute is this dress? Not only do I love the color (olive seems to be a hot color lately - it does come in two other colors though), but I love that it's lightweight - perfect for this time of year as we transition from Spring to Summer. Also, it has cute bell sleeves which are totally trending right now, and I love the detail in the front. Definitely worth adding to your wardrobe (plus it's 50% off!) I decided to pair a bralette with this dress, but you could totally get away with not wearing one. Dresses like this are a wardrobe staple because they are easy to just throw on and dress up or down with the right shoes and accessories.

Now to address a few things that I feel may come up in comments.... If you read my latest health post, you know that things aren't well in the cancer department (I'll do a full in-depth update really soon). First, due to the current state of my cancer, I have lost a lot of weight, so yes I'm aware how skinny my legs look and no I'm not promoting being this thin. It actually really sucks and I wish I could do more about it. Second, you may or may not notice a rash on my chest in these photos (and if you don't here, you definitely will in future photos) and that is a side effect of one of my cancer meds. I thought about trying to edit it out, but that wouldn't be authentic of me. I never want to become a blogger that over-edits or doesn't stay true to who they are.

That's all I have for now! Thanks for stopping by :)

Thank you to Tobi for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! So I posted a picture of myself on Instagram showing my ileostomy bag and holy cow, the response has been amazing. I never expected so many people to like and comment and see and just be inspired by it. I can't tell you how great that feels. I'm putting all of this out there to help people, and to see that I am makes me so incredibly happy. I can't even put into words how grateful I am for all of the love and support. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. I'm going to do a post later this week talking about my ileostomy - stay tuned!

I snagged this dress from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and it is definitely going to be in heavy rotation. I'm actually considering picking it up in a couple other colors I love it that much. The fit is perfect and it's definitely one of those easy to throw on and look cute pieces. Plus, the bell sleeves and cutout detail in the back give the dress an extra little something. Also, I just love wearing dresses like this with booties in the fall. I can't wait to add a fur vest to this look once the temps get cooler!

Now let's talk about my bracelets! Stacking bracelets with a statement watch is one of my absolute favorite jewelry trends. The three bracelets I'm wearing are from Luca Love, a company that specializes in bracelets handmade by low income women in Columbia. Their mission is to provide opportunities of employment and essential necessities to those who need it most. If you couldn't tell from my last post, I like to support companies that give back. I love when my passion for fashion (hey, I'm a cheesy rhymer!) can do something good for other people. Definitely check out Luca Love bracelets, they have a ton of super cute options!

Make it a great week friends, thanks for stopping by!
