I can’t believe Christmas is just days away and 2017 will be over in about a week! Where did this year go?

I kinda have an obsession with lace dresses.

Evidence (here, here, here, here, here)

But I really noticed how much last night when I was going through my closet. We had to temporarily move into our guest room for the final leg of our long remodel. But guess what… WE’RE ALMOST DONE and get to actually move in this weekend. I’m counting the days. When we moved into our house at the end of November Jeff told me to pack for a month/six weeks top. Good thing I didn’t listen to him and over-packed. Now, fifteen weeks later, I can finally rediscover all my favorite things that have been packed away in our garage all winter.

But back to the dress. This one is different than I usually go for. Not quite as fitted, long sleeved and the collar…. but I love it. It’s actually a great alternative to wear to a bridal shower if you’re a bride and are sick of white dresses. Think of it as your “Something Blue” a little early. 🙂 Oh and it’s under $50!

The return of the white dress.

Last year I was all about the LWD – I mean, I was engaged so I guess I had a good reason to be. But I don’t plan on quitting them and I definitely don’t think it’s too early to debut them now, pre-spring.

Let’s talk about this one. It’s a similar style to my favorite “dress dupes” and it’s equally affordable at $32! If you’re a bride-to-be I think this would be so cute at a shower or wedding event.

I couldn’t let the dress take the full spotlight, I wore my new fringe heels in this nudey/blush color I can’t get enough of. I’m thinking this will be a combo I repeat and remix throughout the year.

I have a confession, I’ve had a growing obsession with lace dresses, specifically Self Portrait dresses, for far too long now. This isn’t anything new, but I feel like it’s time to dive in and dissect the problem.

Because we live in this social media crazed world where every night out with friends gets documented and then shared it’s hard to wear the same things to different events. Let’s be honest, no one wants to spend hundreds of dollars on a dress for your college friend’s wedding if you feel like you can’t wear it again. So I’ve done a little research and have found some of the best and most affordable dupes to these gorgeous dresses.

I actually got the red and white versions over the summer (seen here and here) and will be wearing them again ASAP. I’ve found more inspired by versions to share below.

Are you into these dresses as much as I am?! Hope you have a great weekend!
