High-Low Dress and Me


Can you guys tell that I 'm totally in love with high-low hemlines. There's this whimsical element to them that makes me feel like I'm still playing "dress-up".








Dress: Max&Mia via Nordstrom (similar)
Shoes: Nine West
Jacket: Levi's
Purse: Fendi
Sunglasses: Gucci
Watch: Michelle
Bracelet & Earrings: Tiffany & Co.


Please ignore my blurry hand! I just couldn't keep my right hand still. Maybe it has something to do with what's in my left hand. LOL (I'm addicted)




I wore this on a lazy Sunday with a friend. We ended up getting Starbucks wasted and lounging most of the day away at the Deering Estate in Miami. This dress is perfect for casual outings like this. The rayon material makes this dress ultra comfy, while the high-low hemline and peek of turquoise elevate the look. 

I snagged this amazing dress for only $24 at Nordstrom Rack and paired it with these $25 Nine West Sandals. Not bad for a $50 outfit eh? I bought the sandals during Nine West's amazing end of season sale. Most of their shoes were discounted by 50% - 70%. I'd forgotten about Nine West for a very long time, but that sale put them firmly on my radar. Their sales are ridiculous and some of their shoes are super cute! You really can't beat that! Check them out the next time they're having a sale - you might find something you love. 

Have a lovely Wednesday lovelies! One of my best friends is turning 30 this weekend and another best friend just got engaged last weekend! Sooo much life to celebrate and I'm thankful that you guys can celebrate with me!

Oh, By the Way: There were quite a few of these dresses at the Nordstrom Rack in Coral Gables. If you like it, you should hop on over before I go back and scoop up the rest of 'em.  
 

Lots of Love,

Jillian

  2. I love it! I am going to need you to just bring this dress to the event tonight and give it to me! Lol. The Gables is sooooo far maybe the Nordstrom Rack in Aventura has the same stock and I can snatch one up this weekend.

  15. This is great color-on-color inspiration, and you wear the hi-lo look well! I especially like how you paired the dress with a denim jacket in a light wash.
