a lovely dress that can be dressed up + dressed down

disclaimer no giveaway
You all know I’m a fan of Matilda Jane. What I love the most about them is that they are constantly adding new things to their inventory! That is both good AND bad, because, well….my budget. Ha! Regardless, I know I’ll be purchasing a few things per season because their style is so fun, modern and fresh. My girls LOVE their clothes, and to be honest, they are some of my favorites on them. They are just plain fun!!

But, what I’m finding out is that not many ladies out there know that Matilda Jane has outfits for us ladies too! My closet keeps growing, filling up with Matilda Jane outfits, like my daughters’ does. Take these few outfits for example. Fun, right?

I received a perfect dress for me. Why is it perfect you may ask? Well…my favorite color is purple and the main colors in the dress are purple. Not only that, but it’s very flattering due to the pattern on the dress. If I’m having a “bloated” day, you can’t tell! It’s great lol!!

I took this dress from a casual, date night look…

Just with the addition of some shoes, accessories and a different cardigan/denim jacket. Side note, seriously, the denim jacket. It’s my absolute fav!! I have this now in this washed denim look and a darker one. They are from Kohl’s and they also released one this Spring that doesn’t have a collar.

I should have shown you what the straps look like. They are a fun, reversible thicker (twisted fashion) strap that is the same material as the dress. Super cute! I don’t typically bear my arms, so the thought didn’t cross my mind until I was writing the post for you all! So, please accept my apology. You can google Matilda Jane Summer Caravan Dress, or shop for it now at the Good Luck Trunk site! While there, take a look around. GREAT deals…the next thing I have been almost pushed purchase on is the Dancing on Clouds Dress. Imagine that one styled many different ways. Totally adorable, right??? Great for family pictures you guys. Accessorize this dress to match what your kids are wearing – and done! Easy peasy!

All right, now talk to me! With the past few posts I’ve shared over the last few months featuring Matilda Jane, are you more opt to checking these clothes out on YOU?

    That dress is perfect on you, and such a pretty color. I like the length it would be a great dress for me to wear our and about.
