It’s that time again… CHIC AT EVERY AGE. This week, we’re styling this cutest ruffle wrap dress that you’ve seen everywhere!
For those of you that have just tuned in, this fab collab is exactly how it sounds… a chic chick in her 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s shows you how to style a piece in their own way. I’m working with some of my FAVORITE gals in Dallas!!

What I LOVE about this particular cut and style of dress is that it’s flattering on ALL body shapes from thin to curvy. It’s $55 and comes in 4 different colors. I ordered two sizes and chose the larger size because it offered more material on the wrap making it less low-cut. {I’m wearing size 6 for reference.} It’s definitely a mini-dress so I would need to wear shorts if I was handling the littles, but it’s a perfect date night dress!
THE STYLE Rx: Looking for an easy-to-wear trend for Summer? The Wrap Dress +/- Ruffles has got you covered. It’s flattering for all. Just add accessories and go!
To keep it Summery, I wore layered necklaces and white earrings. Those fabulous fringe earrings are from the Summer Box of Style (seen styled here and here). A bamboo or straw bag is a Summer staple and adds a vacation vibe to any outfit. Last but not least are those white flatform espadrilles that I’ve been wearing NON-stop! BTW, they are 60% off right now.
Okay so now for my beautiful friends… Don’t they look SO great in this dress? Cathy was so clever to wear the dress with a lace camisole and over white jeans to make it more “age appropriate”! I’ve been wanting to try the dress over jeans trend for a while now! Heather looks stunning in that pink dress with her metallic accessories! I’d tried to be Summer Chic with light accessories. Natalie looks so beautiful in that baby blue dress and white statement earrings.
So… DO YOU OWN A RUFFLE WRAP DRESS? How would YOU wear it?

Happy Friday Y’all! I thought things were supposed to slow down in Summer but it’s still busy on my home front! It was work, work, then Little M doctor appointment, day to catch up, and now today! We have Franklin’s follow up appointment today, and he gets his stitches removed. Then I’m heading over to Dallas for a Chic at Every Age shoot. I am SO EXCITED that it’s the weekend! What are YOU up this weekend?
