Two Divas/One Dress

They always say, "Great Minds Think Alike" and this couldn't be anymore true. My Makeup Sister, Gwen Pettie,  and I didn't even plan this! It just happened.


So we both subscribe to the amazing clothing service Gwynnie Bee (Mentioned a previous posts) and we both got this dress around the same time. So I figured why not blog the look. What's even more weird is we kind of styled our hair and accessories the same way (totally unintentional).
Not only is this dress uber flattering on both bodies, the color helps our melanin radiate.

This has to be my most favorite style of dress. The sleeves and cape detailing make the dress feel goddess like and the flirty-ness of the skirt gives it a little something extra. Though it is only sold through Gwynnie Bee, the dress is made by City Chic Online (which can be found at Nordstroms).
We BOTH are in LOVE with this dress.

So now, I hit you with the various poses to show this beauty off.





If you like the idea of the Two Divas/One Dress Collabs, let me know. I'd love to do something like this again.
This unintentional collab was super fun though and I appreciate my sister/friend Gwen Pette for agreeing to send my photos. You can find her on social media at the links below:

Plus Size ShapeWear... MUST-HAVES


Too Often, I find myself in pain in the middle of the day due to the fact that my shapewear is cutting in to my thigh or elsewhere. I love the feeling and look that shapewear gives but why does it have to be so damn uncomfortable?? I have gone through various companies and still found nothing that resembles comfortable. Until now...
 
I took a chance on the Ashley Stewart Line of shapewear. Not having very high hopes. I mean, I had been let down before. But I was pleasantly surprised. These pieces have to be the most comfortable & breathable line of shapewear out there to date.
 
Firstly, I love that the pieces are moderately priced. You're not spending $100+ on each piece.
 
Next, I love that the shorts (something I wear under all my dresses) has a comfort band around the openings of the thighs and stomach. I experience no shifting, bunching or (the worse part of shapewear) the slide-down.
 
Lastly, these pieces don't cause me to be overly hot. They are made of a very breathable material. It almost feels like I'm wearing nothing. Which is a plus, since it's summer.

If you're someone like me, always on the hunt for the perfectly comfortable but effective shape-wear, these were definitely made with you in mind.
