Because Every Woman Needs to Feel Pretty

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!
Winner is Comment #56- Vittoria

I feel pretty in my tightest pair of jeans, my highest heels and a really great tee!
Thanks!


What piece of clothing makes you feel pretty?

Is it your favorite pair of jeans that fit just right?
Or the little black dress that hugs you in all the right places?
Or maybe the comfortable worn yoga pants you wear on the weekends?

Before I had Drake,  I used to feel prettiest in my form fitting skinny jeans with an embellished tank-top and some little flip-flop sandals. After Drake, that same outfit somehow just did not do it for me anymore. The jeans were too tight, the tank to short and the sandals not comfortable.

For months, I felt like I had nothing that I truly felt pretty in. I had clothes that fit, I even had clothes that I liked, but they lacked that extra something to really make me feel pretty in them. This all changed when I received a package from ellelauri with 2 beautiful dresses.

Liz from ellelauri sent over  The Rylee and The Taylor dresses for me to review.  Are they not beautiful?!? I fell in love with both dresses from the moment I tried them on.
The Rylee dress was gorgeous in the beautiful peach color an is so comfortable to wear. I have been transiting this dress for fall by adding brown leggings, brown boots and a cardigan.
The Taylor dress is comfortable and a new favorite staple of my closet. I always wear this dress with either leggings or jeans because it is just a tad too short for me to wear alone since I'm so tall. Isn't that deep green the PERFECT fall color? I love that I can transition the dress from a casual day at the park with my son to an evening out with my husband in a flash.
The best thing about both of these dresses is that I feel pretty in them, truly pretty. Thanks ellelauri for helping a Momma feel pretty again!

  6. Also, I feel pretty in my comfy, off the shoulder, cotton tee. I know- super casual, but the shoulder peeking out makes me feel sexy. ;)

  7. Those dresses are cute on you!

    I have a cute little blue dress that is comfy but makes me feel put together.

  8. LOVE the Taylor dress. I just bought this cute purple dress with black leggings. To finish it off, I grabbed my daughters black boots and **poof** I was pretty AND comfy. What a great feeling. I may have to spring for some boots of my own. The best part: My hubby thought I was pretty too.

  9. I typically am either dressed for work or in sweats at home. Now that fall has arrived I love that I can wear my black tweed skirt, black tights, black turtleneck, with a colorful scarf and my tall black boots. I feel stylish and put together in this outfit!

    I love the Marina Dress with leggings! You look great in the Rylee - I like that one, too, but I can't do peach - maybe one of it's other colorways! Thanks!

  23. It's hard to find things that I feel pretty in these days - post baby - I tend to gravitate to black, but I had one black dress this summer that just fit the perfect way/had the right neckline etc. Felt good
    in it!
