Happy Friday friends! I feel like we made it through a pretty big week with my son starting back to school on Wednesday and everything that goes along with it. We are working on getting back into a good nighttime and morning routine and, although my son seems great with it, I'm pooped! I'm currently working on preserving/organizing his years of artwork that I've let pile into bins and I'll definitely be ready for a dinner out that involves a cocktail or glass of wine this weekend. Maybe I'll wear one of the new dresses that arrived this week, I'm crazy over them! One I had to return for a larger size . . . Hope you find a dress you like - these are my current faves - and they're all under $50!

Talk about a comfortable, cute dress! I was happily surprised by the material (polyester and spandex) of this dress because it has a lightweight waffly texture (I tried to show you below). This dress and the third one below, I just got it in the mail so a quick mirror shot is all I got. I'm wearing the XS. I also ordered the small, which I almost kept, but I felt like this one hugged better at the top. It also comes in blue and white stripe. I'm already thinking of all the different ways you could accessorize this dress to bring in different colors if you want. Adding a jacket or cardigan could make it office appropriate.

I featured this dress last week and discovered that the XS was too tight on top, so I've exchanged it for a small. The XS fit if I was standing still with my arms at my sides, but was tight when I moved. But, the website said it runs large and recommends if you are between sizes, order one size down. I'll show you the small on me when it arrives- should've just ordered two to begin with! I adore the pattern and style of this dress.
#3
This is a fun dress! It's still perfect for the hot weather here, and the skirt has a built-in slip for extra coverage. I think the ruffle on top is sweet and the "V" isn't too plunging. Take note, however, that the pink in the dress is more of a hot pink than the muted pink as pictured on the model. I'm wearing the XS.
#4
I feel like this is one of those dresses that is so easy to wear and you wouldn't have to worry about having to unbutton your pants after dinner or a big lunch! Of course, I'm a fan of the racerback, and this dress also comes in black. I'd wear a long pendant necklace with it.

Leith V-Neck Body-Con Dress ($48)
The shape of this dress is great, and it also comes in black, blue, or "red cayenne" which looks peachy-orange in the photo online. It got 4 stars with 25 reviews with one reviewer stating it, "has the same effect as spanx but not as tight." Good to know!
