Friday Frocks for August

August 21, 2020 · In: Size Inclusive Favorites, Style, Women

THE Amazon Nightgown Dress (I definitely wear it outside of bed regularly!)

Something about quarantine has me hopping back in time to fifth grade English when we had to compose poetry about our favorite things. In that spirit I dreamed up a Limerick that is timely and from my house dress loving heart.

There once was a House Dress in my closet,

Yeah, I have 25, what of it?

They’re flowy and free,

Not to mention easy,

so 25 more I shall get!

A House Dress Limerick, Grace Hamlin age 10 age 33

The dress is having a moment – but hasn’t it always? I mean is there a better piece of clothing out there? All you need is one great dress and you can be ready for anything! I am sure the women who fought to wear pants would be upset about this post, or maybe not because the whole point is that we all get to wear whatever we want and for me that is a dress!

So much time at home has propelled the “house dress” to the top of search inquiries and I for one am thrilled at this trend of putting on a pretty and comfy dress each day, even if I am leaving my home a bit more than I used to.

So here are some frocks I currently have coming to my closet or at least have my eye on! Happy shopping with the styles below, if you hover your mouse on top you should be able to shop the links! May you find the perfect house (or out of the house) dress for yourself!

She taught me to try and leave everyone and everyt She taught me to try and leave everyone and everything better than I found it. 

To value spontaneity and adventure. 

To love reading, and more reading, and appreciating the privilege of getting to know good characters, and new worlds. 

I love blue and white because of her. 

And I am the way I am because of this sweet woman and it's her birthday! I love you Mom, and hope this year is everything and more. And I can't wait to celebrate the best way we know how when I get back, hibachi style of course 🔪 👨‍🍳 🍤

My earrings I wore to last night's BINGO event to My earrings I wore to last night's BINGO event to launch the new Matte Gel Couture Polish by @essie matched the embroidered linens they so kindly gifted with our 💅 goodies, which I took as good luck sign! I loved spending the evening with @melissasmrekar and our winning table mate (in more ways than one 💜) @lomurph at the most thoughtful event hosted at @thecharles by @alison.carter and company!! I even got to see my fellow SMU Kappa sister, @maryahafner who also took home a "Matt" (head to my stories if you don't know what I mean 😉) 

I'm loving the texture and updated feel this top coat is giving my manicure, and thrilled to finally get to try @downloadcherry 

Now how many hours until one of my girls steals my new polish?!? 😆

What do they put in the water in Texas? Possibly t What do they put in the water in Texas? Possibly tequila 😆 but in all seriousness, I lived in Dallas from 2005, to fairly recently when we moved back to Florida in 2018. And even though I'm a born and raised Floridian, so much of my heart feels like Texas is my home. Margaret however is a Texan by birth and she tells everyone who will listen, which seems pretty Texan of her (in the best way). 

We're here with the girls this week, seeing our special people, and of course I packed two of my favorite Texas brands, @sunshinetiendashop and @susanshaw that are both lead by stylish and talented women. 

You can shop my accessories by following me on @shop.ltk or head to my stories!
