Dressing Room Diaries

Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend! Do you have any fun plans? I’ve got a date with Mama Sugarplum, and I can’t wait to see her!

I had my second Tixel laser treatment yesterday though, and considering the way my face swells, we might not be leaving the house! Let’s just say it’s truly the face only a mother could love, ha!

Today Iโ€™ve got this monthโ€™s Dressing Room Diaries for you, and itโ€™s chock full of the cutest new arrivals, from a mix of retailers with a range of price points! My job is to find the cutest things, at the best prices, and I think youโ€™ll love these!ย (I know I did!!)

You know the drill withย Dressing Room Diariesโ€ฆ the shots arenโ€™t good, the lighting is bad, and Iโ€™m in desperate need of a hairbrush. But itโ€™s real life, real girl, real clothesโ€ฆ and hopefully helpful for you to see them this way, instead of perfectly styled on a model. So letโ€™s get started!

Fit Note: Iโ€™m 5โ€™4โ€ณ-ish, 125ย pounds-ish, with a slight pear shape. My usual size is XS/2.

Dresses //

I was wearing this dress on Instagram Stories the other day, and based on the response, it’s sure to sell out fast! A lovely chiffon material in the prettiest green floral, it has an elastic waist and flutter sleeves. So cute with a belt and blazer for the office, too.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress, but I’d size up if in-between. I size down in the blazer for a shrunken fit, I’m in an XXS.

Prepare yourself for fall floral overload in this post, the prints are just so good this season! I love the sage and tan colors of this one, and the fit-and-flare shape is so easy and flattering.

I love the balloon sleeves, but the cuffs are extremely fitted (and I have small wrists!). I left one of the buttons undone and just folded it back for an easier fit.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress.

You’ll never believe where I found this cute dress… nor the price point! Super soft with a slight babydoll fit, it even has pockets. It’s soft and light for wearing now, but the colors easily transition for Fall.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress and XS jacket.

Left with: Cut-Out Sandals | Initial Necklace
Right with: Block Heel Bootiesย (TTS, Color: Khaki) | Utility Jacket

 

This jumpsuit was a top-seller in last week’s Amazon Haul (find it HERE), and this dress is a similar style if you prefer the fit of dresses over jumpsuits. Made of a soft, washed cotton, it has operational buttons, a belted waist, and relaxed fit.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress, so it does run a little big.

How fun are the colors and pattern-mix of this easy sundress?! It has an elastic back and adjustable straps, plus pockets and the easiest, flowy fit. Well done, Target!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress.

Sleeveless Maxi Dress

Fall’s version of a ‘nap dress,’ this easy style is made of a soft, woven fabric, with wrap front and elastic waist. I love the wide drop- sleeves.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress, but would size down.

I’ve been having a love-affair with lilac for the past few seasons, and it’s still going strong! I especially love it for Fall! This easy dress has a soft, rayon feel, with loose sleeves and an elastic waist.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress.

It’s hard to see in my photos, but this sweet little black dress is so effortlessly chic! It has a mixed material sleeve, with feminine details and an easy, comfortable fit.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress.

Puff Sleeve Dress
Cut-Out Sandals | Strappy Heels (size up half)

 

One of my favorite brands for stylish and boutique styles, this dress is sure to sell out fast! The top is a comfy, stretchy smocking with a mock neck, falling to a loose, flared skirt. The sleeves are slightly oversized, and can be worn long or pulled up.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress.

Okay, I shared our new GLxHSP Decked Out Day Dresses HERE, but they needed a place in Dressing Room Diaries, as well! It’s the easiest dress to throw-on-and-go, and so versatile for transitioning seasons, and for a range of occasions!

These two new patterns are selling fast, but we’ve already placed re-orders!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XXS dress.

I shared this sweater in bold pink HERE, and it sold out so fast I had to order new colors! It’s super soft, with a relaxed fit and stretchy ribbing. The long sleeves have a dolman fit, and it’s a slouchy mocked neck.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a XS sweater, but size up one if you like to wear it with leggings.

Definitely the chicest find this month… this tweed blazer is a closet staple you’ll wear for years to come! ย A great length, it’s fully lined with brushed brass buttons. Dress it up or keep it casual with sneakers… it’s an outfit-maker, for sure!

      Hi Dina! I am in no way a dermatologist or anything close! So I leave the medical knowledge to the professionals. ๐Ÿ™‚ Dr. Kotas at DFW Youth Secret is who I go to, she is wonderful!

    Hi Cassie! Happy Friday. Iโ€™m a casual girl so I love the sweatshirt and the Love tee. I was wondering if you can help me find or maybe you already know of a good long sleeve basic white T-shirt. I find that itโ€™s something I tend to reach for so much in the fall and winter. I true closet staple.
    Thanks,
    Michelle
