Flirty Off The Shoulder Top

Off the shoulder tops have made a comeback and I just can't get enough. There are certain patterns I'm drawn to and vertical stripes just get me, they really do. I love everything about this SheIn black white off the shoulder blouse here. I mean how fun right?  

SheIn is an international online store here that has thousands of great pieces. To be completely honest sometimes I hear international or online and I become skeptical. I start to think...is this a scam, will I receive my order months after, and what will the quality be like for that particular piece? 

When I received my order I was more than impressed. It arrived in a timely manner, the size I received guidance on fit perfect, and the quality was incredible. Side note: for all those petite women out there, this may fit more like a tunic then a blouse. For all those tall girls, this is your JAM.

If you've been following Smitten By You from the start you know this chic can't resist clothing for less. I'm all about mixing high and low priced pieces because lets be honest, you have to be realistic and spend within your means. 

SheIn has so many pieces at prices you wouldn't believe. I'm absolutely crushing over this fun lemon print off the shoulder top here and this blue striped cutoff ripple dress here. Do you see a pattern here? #addicted #offtheshoulder #stripesgalore 

I hope y'all enjoy your weekend! TGIF

Date Night: Express Style

Ribbed Off the Shoulder Dress: Express {now 40% off} | Heels: Express | Bag: love this here | Keychain: Here | Earrings: Similar here | Sunnies: Karen Walker

When date nights roll around this girl is all about sliding into a sexy dress and throwing on the highest heels in my closet. D usually makes a comment like "so, no fast food I take it." Insert laughter and a flirty eye roll. 

With our 1 year wedding anniversary coming up in August...{ahhhhh, yeah I'm mushy} we certainly like to treat date nights like their a special occasion. Dustin usually leaves the tie at home. #getonmylevel #onlykidding. 

Living in a smaller town can limit the meaning of date night and the location. I always make it a point to try a new restaurant or even plan a weekend getaway...but when all else fails..find a bench and pull a JoJo and Luke. #steamsession #makeouttakeout 

I love having access to a local Express. If I can't decide what to wear on a night out, I can count on Express having a super cute women's dress selection. I recently wore this Ribbed Off the shoulder dress here and received many compliments. It shows the right amount of leg and shoulder...giving you that inner OW OW feeling. 

It's been a crazy past couple of months so another date night is in order. I've been eyeing these Express summer dresses here and here. #iliketokeepmyoptionsopen. 


What do you and your mans date nights look like? I would LOVE to hear from you!

Summer Dress Under $40: With The Mint Julep Boutique

Worth the Tassel Dress: The Mint Julep Boutique {25% off no code needed} | Sandals: Sam Edelman | Tassel Earrings: BaubleBar | Clutch: Stella & Dot | Bracelets: BaubleBar |  Sunnies: Urban Outfitters |

Doesn't this dress scream night out with the girls, queso, and some salsa dancing? 

My go to summer uniform is an easy to style dress. Summers in Iowa can reach the upper 90's with humidity like you wouldn't believe #badhairfordays. This tassel dress from The Mint Julep Boutique is so chic and effortless.

I'm a complete sucker for tassels so naturally when I spotted this cute number here I was more than ecstatic. With this dress being under $40 {even less with their 4th of July sale} it hits all the check marks in my closet.

It can be hard finding a dress to fit this 5'8 something girl #wheremytallgirlsat. The length is perfect and the waist is so flattering for any body type.

FYI: Shop The Mint Julep Boutique's new arrivals here and save 25% on your purchase {offer ends tomorrow 3:00 PM Eastern Time--2:00 PM Central Time }.  Y'all no code is needed..all discounts will be automatically honored at checkout. Their new arrivals are to die for....now excuse me while I go shop!

Hope y'all had a fabulous 4th of July honoring our freedom and great land!
