Kasey dress by JUNIEBlake | Dearest Lou

Kasey dress by JUNIEBlake

I haven't attempted to do my hair in a top knot in a while due to all of the layers I have in my hair. However, after a few bobby pins and two hair elastics I successfully did it. I honestly wasn't aware that there were pearl bib collars back in the day but it looks like my grandma Carol owned a few. I thought it was just a new trend! I absolutely love this collar because it is round and doesn't have a funky shape to it so I will be able to wear it with a lot of the shirts/dresses in my wardrobe. 

Now, for this dress. I didn't expect it to be so dang comfortable and extremely flattering. When I was contacted by JUNIEBlake a couple of weeks ago and had the opportunity of selecting a dress of my choice, I knew this was the one. I LOVE how it hugs my curves in all of the right places and the stripes and color are screaming summer!! 

I love that all of JUNIEBlake's clothing is modest and fashionable. I would be happy to have all of their pieces in my wardrobe ;P When styling this dress I decided I wanted to go for a different look than the model on their website so that those of you who are contemplating buying it can see how to style it in a different way. I decided to wear a short light weight cardigan, simple pearl accessories, and finish up the look with my nude wedges.
