Fancy Friday – The Wrap Dress

Happy Friday guys! First off I want to say THANK YOU for the overwhelming congratulations on our big news! I’ll have another blog post up tomorrow with what’s been going on the last 16+ weeks but today I want to tell you more about Fancy Friday and this wrap dress I’m styling!

If you follow me on Instagram you know I started doing “Fancy Friday” a few weeks ago to force myself out of sweatpants and help kick off the weekend. I know the last month or so of self-quarantine has been really hard on some of you and if you’re anything like me, you find yourself in pajamas or some sort of loungewear 95% of the time not knowing what day it is… so having this one day a week where I promise myself I’ll get up, get ready, put on a cute dress and make a fancy dinner (or order takeout) has really helped make the start of the weekend feel like the actual weekend and more importantly, has helped give me a little pep in my step. I’ve even gotten Ita and Mila to participate too! But let’s be real she wears a “princess” dress just about every day. 🙂 Scroll down to read more about how I’m giving back with Fancy Friday and this wrap dress from Walmart!

The Wrap Dress

The wrap dress is a piece that is flattering on every body type and even works for moms-to-be with a growing bump! I loved wearing this style of dress to work but it’s also perfect for casual days too (I wore mine on our daily walk where these pictures were taken!). This light blue striped wrap dress I’m wearing is from Walmart and on sale for UNDER $15! It comes in a few colors and you may remember me posting it a few weeks ago in hot pink for our first Fancy Friday. The adjustable tie waist and clasp front makes it so figure-friendly and will compliment any body type. I have always thought it’s a staple piece that should be in every woman’s closet and this under $15 one is hard to beat! You can also check out a full page of affordable wrap dresses here! I paired it with these very on trend woven slides that are only $32 and a straw tote bag.

I have been so impressed with all the clothes I’ve ordered from Walmart over the last couple of years and love that they offer free 2-day shipping over $35 on most of their items! If you want to check out other Walmart pieces while shopping I would recommend looking at the brands Time and Tru or Scoop. You can also look at their Trends Page for everything that’s really popular at the moment! I snagged this leopard dress under $15 and leopard kimono swimsuit coverup recently and love both of them!

Fancy Friday

The idea for Fancy Friday came from a post I saw by Catt Sadler. She was doing #FormalFridays for the same reasons I mentioned above and pledged to donate to charity for every person that did it with her and tagged her. I had been wanting to find more ways to give back and thought this was a great way to get you guys involved too and hopefully inspire you to do the same. So I started posting about it a few weeks ago and used #TFHxFancyFriday along with Catt’s hashtag to ensure we give back as much as possible!

I feel so lucky to be healthy and safe at home with my husband and little girl with a roof over our head and not having to worry about our next meal or how we’ll pay our mortgage. The number of people who don’t have this luxury continues to grow and any awareness I can help bring to that or encourage others to give back if they’re able is really important to me. I’m donating to a different organization each month that directly helps people affected by COVID-19 and hope you’ll join me in getting dressed up this Friday and tagging me and #TFHxFancyFriday! With all the uncertainty going on right now and uneasiness you may be feeling I hope you’re able to disconnect a bit and find joy in little moments. ❤️

I hope you have a great weekend and come back tomorrow for my blog post on all things baby #2!!

Thanks for reading!
