All eyes will be on you this holiday season when you strut into the room in one of these stunning dresses from Nordstrom, Tobi, Charlotte Russe, and Forever21.
Between the endless holiday parties, New Years Eve, family gatherings, and festive nights on the town, there are so many occasions to get dolled up this winter. I’ve pulled together some of my favorite stunning dresses that will be sure to make everybody envious of your drop-dead-gorgeous style. (Pssst…can you guess which one I bought for my winter formal?)

So who else is absolutely head-over-heels in love with this playsuit from Charlotte Russe? Not only are the colors and print stellar, but it fits like a glove. It’s made out of chiffon-like material, so it’s extremely light and can be dressed up or down. I can’t wait to pair it with a crisp, white blazer and some flats for my internship!
How cute would it look with some nude heels and a big sock bun? I also love the gold jewelry with it! There are just so many options with this one! I just can’t wait to wear it all the time this summer.
Definitely check out Charlotte Russe for some gorgeous rompers and playsuits for the summer – they have a great selection at extremely affordable prices.
Oh! Did you guys notice a change? I’m wearing my hair 100% natural for 30 days! It’s a personal challenge I’ve made for myself to become more comfortable in my own skin. I wrote a post all about it earlier, so check it out!
Today officially marks the 9th day of the challenge! It’s definitely been difficult to resist the urge to heat-style it, but surprisingly enough I’ve already noticed it growing more. I’ve also received so many compliments on my hair – my confidence has increased dramatically!

This past weekend was my final formal with the Eta Sigma chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta. (I will be transferring to the Alpha Sigma chapter in the fall at Washington State University) Very bittersweet, it was still a really fun event! I took my best friend, Selina as my date (taking your best friend is way less stressful than taking a guy!)
I’m wearing my favorite dress from TexasRoots Boutique, super cute wedges from Shop Hope’s (use the discount LYSSLIFEREP for 10% off your order at Hope’s!), and a statement necklace from Forever 21. I also have my amazing Luxy Hair extensions in!
Yesterday was another day of 90+ degree heat and Santa Ana winds. Since skirts were out of the question and there was no way I could bring myself to wear pants, I threw on this adorable high-waisted skort from Forever 21. I paired it with a flowy crop top (also from Forever 21), and a crisp blazer from Target. A super chic business casual look, I did not overheat or have a Marilyn Monroe moment.
Yesterday I had the incredible privilege of managing Chapman University’s Twitter and Instagram during the annual “Spring Sizzle.” It was a blast – I felt so energized after. Opportunities like this remind me of how much I love social media especially for live events. I just really enjoy myself and feel very confident when I do it.
The one thing I did not feel confident about was my body. I really do not know what triggered this inside of me as I am usually very content with my body, but I guess I just had an off day. As I was settling in for the night to write this post and head to bed, a woman in my sorority shared this video on Facebook. I watched in awe as I was incredibly uplifted and inspired. I have included it at the bottom of this post for you to watch – I really hope you do! It is only about eight minutes long and will seriously make you feel beautiful and valued.
I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day!
If y’all haven’t heard of Shop Hope’s yet, you’re missing out! I found this store through Instagram about six months ago and been obsessed ever since. With new arrivals twice a day AND free shipping, they’re pretty much perfect. They have so many amazing items, so I decided to show you my favorite business casual picks.
With summer internships beginning soon, having an office-friendly wardrobe is essential. The dresses below would all look amazing paired with crisp blazers and the shoes pictured below.
I did not receive compensation for this post. All opinions are my own.
Charlotte Russe has some incredible new spring arrivals and this romper is no exception. I’m completely in love with everything about it from the hot pink color to the flattering shape to the lace accents. This is the first romper I’ve ever owned because I was convinced they were the least flattering thing for any woman with hips or thighs. However, I was pleasantly surprised when this fit me like a glove and accentuated my small waist. It highlights my curves in all the right ways! The chunky chain bracelet I’m wearing is too cute and guess what? It is also from Charlotte Russe!
Charlotte Russe sent me this romper and bracelet free of charge. They did not ask me to write a review. All opinions and images are my own.
