In With The New

Growing up, the farthest I had ever traveled was South Dakota with my parents when I was very young.  They both had never flown and had a fear of flying which pretty much kept us home most of the time AND instilled in me some travel anxiety.  How could I ever get on a plane and fly off somewhere I've never been??!!
Before I met my husband when I was 21, I had still only been to South Dakota.  It was he who helped me step out of my comfort zone, face my fear of traveling and just do it.  My first plane ride was to New York and afterwards I wondered what all the worry had even been for.  Isn't that funny?  You face your fears and realize that it was so much easier than you thought.  Now?  I love to travel.  The fear of flying is gone and replaced with the excitement of exploring new places!  It's become even more exciting since having children and bringing them along with us.  I want my kids to have a love and a desire to travel. We love being able to take them on vacation!
As our family vacation approaches I like to treat myself to one or two new outfits to bring along to freshen up the suitcase. If you're not taking a trip this year, no worries!  It's not to early to treat yourself to a few new things so that by spring/summer your closet has a bit of an update.
That being said, Mainstream Boutique in Savage has some great options!  Dyana and her fabulous crew of wardrobe stylists are pretty much like your own personal shoppers and will treat you amazingly well!  While this week I was all about vacation wear and warmer weather moods, they still had some super cute and trendy winter garb in store.  You're going out of there a winner for any season!

Anyway, time for my first pick this week.  Get all tied up in camo with this amazing little dress!  I'm loving the lace up/tie detail by the neckline and the fact that it has POCKETS!  Which is probably one of the biggest trends in casual dresses these days.  This would be amazing for a casual day or even thrown over a swimsuit to grab a quick lunch or something.  I styled it with a pair of my own wedges but this dress would be super cute with anything from black combat boots or even flip flops.  I also threw on a fabulous stack of bracelets I found amongst all the amazing accessories found at Mainstream Boutique in Savage.


Okay... red can be a tricky color.  BUT I feel like this dress is so easy and flattering so it just works.  Buuuuuut, if you're still thinking red is most definitely not your color... REJOICE!... this little number also comes in black!  Yay!  It's lightweight, ties at the neckline to give it an adorable little choker detail and would be perfect for vacation or Valentine's Day.  (Already next week, friends.  Do you Valentine's or Gal-entine's??!!)

This chambray dress is THE FREAKING CUTEST.  It has a fit to flatter.  I usually have to belt dresses like this to give my body a bit more shape but that's not the case with this beauty.  And the sleeve detail is the best!  Denim and chambray are super trendy this season with my favs being long sleeve dresses and the button up shirts.  But it's also going to be a huge trend for spring and summer as well as cute little dresses like this one.  I put a sylish cut out cami under it but you could certainly just go with the dress alone.


New shoes at Mainstream Boutique in Savage!  I repeat... new shoes at Mainstream Boutique in Savage!  Peep toes are it for spring. Mainstream just got in a shipment of some major cuteness and they all have peep toes!  I tried them all on just to be sure they're comfortable and they totally passed the test.  You're welcome. ;-)  I also really had a thing for this lightweight dress because the decision to belt it was an easy one.  It comes with a little tie belt of sorts to give a bit more shape to it. Very cute.

And NO warm weather outfit post would be complete these days without the coveted romper.  Rompers are a definite must have in your closet.  Like, at least one. I loved this one because it wasn't too short, I like the little cut out on the neckline and the sleeve detail is awesome.  You could even pull the sleeves down for an off the shoulder look. Mainstream Boutique in Savage is the place to go for rompers and with new arrivals daily, I'm sure in the coming months you'll be able to find one (or five) that will need a new home in your closet.
