I've come to realize I've become a girl who absolutely loves to dress up! But I'm going to tell you a secret, I used to hate shopping. Shocking I know! Obviously it couldn't be any more different now and I'm so thankful my personal style has evolved to what it is. I think style is all about what you love to wear and what you feel great wearing. I always feel so much more confident in looks I love especially the fancy ones. Formal outfits are my weakness okay :) 

My new favorite dress is this darling one from Shabby Apple called the Nutcracker dress that I got in blue! It is such an elegant and classy dress and I adore the bow details on the sleeves! I think the bows add a fun touch to this dress! The fit is impeccable which is rare for me as I'm very petite (5"1 to be exact). I am very impressed with the material and just love the royal blue color of the dress! Make sure to check out Shabby Apple for more adorable pieces like this one!
