I can’t believe this dress almost didn’t make the blog this summer! It has become my go-to dress on the weekends for dinner with friends or dressed down with flats for running around town. The color is what initially attracted me (pink is my favorite color), but I was worried the cutouts were too sexy to wear often. Thankfully, pairing the dress with flat or wedges tones down this dress and makes it much more wearable.
I also realized I also didn’t mention that I’m now posting 3 days a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. 4-5 days was just too much and I was burning out (especially since work got very busy!) and starting to resent my blog, which is the last thing I wanted. I’m so thankful for everyone who reads and supports my little corner of the internet and the amazing people I’ve met through blogging so I didn’t want to stop blogging. Hopefully 3 days is more manageable. Thanks for your patience with my sporadic posting over the past few weeks/months!
Thanks for reading and have a great day!

You look so pretty in this dress, Nicole! I love the cut-out detail. I can totally relate to the scaling back on posts. A few months back I scaled back from three to two and it made a huge difference. Hopefully I’ll go back up to three in the fall. If it really brings you joy, don’t give it up! I know I enjoy coming by and visiting you! Xo

This dress is so pretty and flattering on you! I don’t think I normally see you wear a lot of pink so it’s also just a fun change. TOTALLY understand about cutting back on blogging hours. I’ve had to do the same and it’s been very healthy for me. Hope it will help you find balance as well!

Ohh this dress does look amazing on you! The color, print, and cut outs make it a show stopper.
Glad you are finding a schedule that works for you, you need to feel like the blog is still a place to go to have fun.
