The 5 dresses we wore in Florida
The Florida dress is a special dress. Last weekend, I had a small girls trip to Jacksonville Beach, Florida. It was not long enough in all honesty. However a good getaway in the sun was just what I needed. It was exciting to look through my closet and pick out the dresses I’d wear. Most if not all of what I took with me were dresses I had packed away for the winter. While it was still a tad cold in Cincinnati, packing my sundresses excited me. I was ready.
I was not the only person ready for some sun, beach and relaxation. My two close friends Kayleigh and Isabelle came with me. I told them to bring their dresses as I’d have my camera out and ready. We took pictures … lots of them. How could you not with the beach and palm trees? So this post is dedicated to our five Florida dresses.
1. The Simple Sundress
And if you follow me on Instagram (which you should go do right now if you don’t), you saw this gem.
I found the dress at a consignment shop in the fall. It’s so very comfy.
Here are a few simple sundresses I enjoy:
2. That blue dress
Ladies and gentlemen, this is my best friend Kayleigh. She’s a 26-year-old graduate student and middle school Spanish teacher living in Charleston, South Carolina. We’ve been friends for 12 years.
This is the perfect representation of our friendship. Ridiculous things always happen.
Kayleigh is wearing a classic pop-over dress. Here are a few of my favorite pop-over dresses from the season:
3. The breezy maxi
This dress is one of my favorite’s. The material is nice and breathes easily. Here’s a Modcloth favorite of mine:
4. The night out dress
Because when you’re on vacation, you go out.
Dress: Mine from TargetThis is Isabelle. Isabelle and I met through Kayleigh almost five years ago when we were both living in Washington DC. Isabelle had just moved to town and Kayleigh gave me her number because she needed friends, she said. Kayleigh and Isabelle were sorority sisters. Well we did become friends and now we all took a trip to Florida together.
5. THIS outfit
Okay I’m going to break my own rules and talk about a skirt. Izzy’s outfit was just too cute. Our brunch place had a nice mural that we had some fun with.
That too is how I felt about being in Florida.

Black blue dress + a link up
Happy Wednesday! Today I’m co-hosting the Jersey Girl Texan Heart link up. What is a link up, you may ask? Link-ups are weekly or monthly online parties for bloggers, more or less. One blogger or a group of bloggers hosts it and encourages other bloggers to link their similar posts up with her’s on her page. It’s a neat way to get your work out there and meet other similarly-minded bloggers.
Each week Monica from Jersey Girl Texan Heart hosts a link up where bloggers can link up whatever is going on in their world. It’s a lot of fun. Her blog too is one I follow. She blogs about style and beauty, but is also not afraid to talk about much deeper things. She’s not afraid to open up and share her struggles, which I respect. I’m sure she’s reached many over the years as a blogger.
So last week, I decided to reach out to her about co-hosting her link up. She obliged and here we are! Oh, and this is Monica, by the way, in her Easter outfit from last week’s link up.
The black blue dress look
Today it’s all about mixing the black and blue in a dress outfit. Recently, I’ve been digging adding pops of royal blue into my outfits. There’s just something so classy about it. Furthermore I have been obsessed with this Perry Street statement necklace. I got it in my first Rocksbox shipment and could simply not let it go. By the way, have you heard of Rocksbox? It’s a monthly jewelry subscription service. If you use my code NINABFF102, you can get your first month free!
This dress is one of my new favorites! I love something with a little poof and pizazz to it! I found it at the Charlotte Russe outlet for only $16!
Dress: Charlotte Russe; Sweater: Gap; Necklace: Perry Street; Earrings: Charming Charlie; Shoes: Rialto
Then I switched it up with the most comfortable flats ever. These are Charming Charlie and I’m obsessed.
Don’t forget to go ahead and meet some fellow bloggers in the link up. Take a look around and leave some comment love!
