OUGES :: 1950s Wave Neck












 
Dress: OUGES (under $40!) | Heels: Forever 21 (come in 3 colors)
...
 
Hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Easter weekend. Today I'm sharing my Sunday dress! Hope you fall in love with it just as much as I did. Lately I've been obsessed with dresses from the 50s. This 1950s Wave Neck Vintage Cocktail Dress is a perfect church dress. Wouldn't you ladies agree? The detailing of the waves all around the top of the dress is my favorite part. The length is perfect for Spring. I also admire the length of the sleeves. It has been more unusual to see appropriate dresses have elbow length sleeves. I styled this dress with a simple pair of Faux Leather Pumps to keep it classy, simple and elegant.
 
Thank you so much for stopping by!

I love dressing up, especially if it's for a date! My husband and I went to this AMAZING restaurant on the water overlooking the harbor. It had such a romantic setting! The sunset was beautiful and then shortly after, it was a moon light dinner with candles all around us. Dinner was delicious, of course. Drinks, Red King Crab Legs, Steak and dessert to follow! I tried the Creme Brulee for the first time and I loved it.
 
This dress was such a perfect fit for the occasion. Classy, modest and vintage. My three favorite characteristics. I love the V-neck in the front and back of the dress. It's the perfect depth, not to low and not to high. The detailing on this dress is beautiful. Its flare makes it so comfortable. The material is stretchy so it was a perfect dinner dress because I ate so much. I'm pretty sure I could surprise a lot of you guys on how much this girl can eat!!! My husband will back me up on this one...
 
This dress would not have been complete without this crystal headband. It's so versatile and could be worn in a few different ways. I'll be sure to post a few more looks on how to wear this headband differently. Ladies, this would be so perfect for any special occasion. Prom, Birthdays, Galas, Weddings you name it. I felt like a princess wearing it :)
 
Hope everyone has a blessed weekend and thank you for stopping by!

How incredibly beautiful is Hawaii?! We were lucky to catch the reflections of the sunset last night to capture some pictures in this incredible lighting. Taking a stroll on the bay with my one and only, while the sun is setting is something special. We watched many different couples walking hand in hand, enjoying the romantic moments. Taking these pictures on the rocks was interesting because the waves would splash up and I'm pretty sure I looked quite silly trying to dodge the splashes. Hawaii is by far one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to.
 
 I adore this maxi dress especially in navy. With a high round neck, elasticized faux tie waist, and subtle embroidery on the top panel it makes a great beach dress!! This dress is partially lined and features an open back with a 3 button accent that creates a darling peek-a-boo effect. This Cottage by the Bay dress couldn't have been more perfect.
 
 It's always sweet to hear compliments from strangers. A few ladies wanted to know where they could get an adorable tote like this one :) They're both linked to be able to purchase them directly!
 
The Lovers Tote is an original design produced on a beautiful organic cotton bag. This style is simple. You will not find this design anywhere else as each design was uniquely made for Invoke Thy Quote. All of the different designs are handmade out of organic cotton that is environmentally conscious. Don't worry, they ship worldwide!
