Styled in Shabby

Ok let’s talk about these outfits!! How cute are these?  We were sent these adorable pieces from Shabby Apple.  To be honest, these are not pieces that we would have naturally picked out for ourselves….for (one) we don’t get out much to dress up events #momlife and (two) we typically wear more of a causal chic style. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we received these in the mail.  They were the perfect outfits for our birthday photo shoot we decided to do for Kate’s 30^th.  They turned out to be some of our favorite pieces we have worn in photos yet!  Maybe it’s because it is just fun to dress up or maybe it’s because we were branching out of the usual. Either way…we loved it!

So a little more detail….Kate is wearing the Gramercy Dress in the perfect shade of green!  I guess you could call it a kelly green (which happens to be one of my favorites, maybe for obvious reasons). The thing is this, color looks amazing on anyone!  Also, we love the delicate lace and the A-line hem of this dress….and it is truly comfortable, which sometimes that can be a deal breaker.  This would be a perfect dress for summer weddings or fun events in the spring….maybe even your Easter dress perhaps? 

 

I am wearing the Muriel Straight skirt.  I love the look of the pencil skirt!  The pencil skirt is such a timeless style that looks great on just about any figure.  The look is so chic and versatile…..dress up with a blouse or button shirt for work or parties or throw on a slouchy tee or basic tank for a more casual everyday look.  I was contemplating what color to wear with my skirt and to be honest this Muriel skirt looked great with really any color I paired with it.  I probably would normally choose to pair it with a basic tee or tank, but I decided to go with this bright pink top from Express to add a “pop of color” for the fun birthday look we were going for.  The color and detail of the skirt is sort of hard to decipher in pictures, but let me tell you it is even better in person!

And do you want to know the best part???  These Shabby Apple favorites are on sale!!  Go check out their website, they seriously have the cutest stuff!
