Hello and happy Monday! This past week I received a fun houndstooth midi dress from Long Tall Sally and wanted to share how I styled it for winter. Keep this in mind for a Valentine’s outfit, too, if you’re not into reds/pinks.

I keep seeing the houndstooth pattern everywhere and love that it’s different than your typical polka dots or stripes. Even though this dress is tan and black, the bold houndstooth pattern really makes a statement!

With Thanksgiving behind us, and Christmas/New Years yet to come, I wanted to share another holiday outfit idea! You can never go wrong with a black midi dress, and I love this one from Long Tall Sally. It’s a soft, ribbed knit material with a v-neck and collar detail. A little black dress is a closet staple; you can pair it with a sleek pair of ankle booties, knee-high boots, or your favorite sneakers.

Earlier this year I bought this tall-friendly bodycon dress in two colors and finally got the chance to wear the black one a few weeks ago. Because it’s such a simple dress, I paired it with fun sneakers to give the outfit more visual interest. Plus, adding sneakers with a dress makes for a fashionable, yet comfortable look! I would wear this running errands, a casual lunch, or while exploring on vacation.

I told you I’d be wearing dresses all summer long, and this flutter sleeve dress is a fun take on your typical LBD. I actually just ordered this dress last week, and as soon as it came in, I knew I wanted to debut it here on the blog.

It’s made from super lightweight, gauze material making it the perfect summer dress. With a tie waist (flattering on all shapes and sizes), appropriate length, and contrasting white accents, wear this little black dress to church, work, or on date night!

Happy Monday, friends! I shared this black maxi dress over on IG last weekend, but thought it deserved a little more attention on the blog. I don’t discriminate against any length of dresses, but this maxi was calling my name the minute I scrolled by it. While it’s a simple cotton/t-shirt material, it can easily be dressed up or down.

Since we were going out to a nice dinner, I wanted to spruce it up a bit.

There are few luxuries in life and one of them is your bedding. Specifically your bed sheets. I personally have never been one to spend a lot of money on sheets, but I still want that luxe feeling of the expensive stuff! Insert these sheets from Target’s Threshold collection! They’re the perfect mix of crisp yet soft, available in a handful of patterns and colors, and they’re under $60!

Something that helps put my mind at ease is they’re Oeko-Tex certified, meaning they don’t have any harmful substances that could effect your skin, health, or worse… your sleep.

I know holiday parties are looking a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore them all together. Perhaps you’re having a small get-together, headed out to a nice dinner, or just feel like getting a little fancy in the comfort of your own home this New Years. Whatever your plans may be, I thought I’d round up a few festive holiday picks for those interested!

Sharing this affordable, effortless midi dress from Abercrombie that I posted on IG last week! I love a good midi dress because I never have to question if they’ll be long enough or not — something only us tall girls have to think about.

I was drawn to this one in particular because of the short sleeves (no strapless bra necessary), the side slits, as well as the tie detail around the waist.
