DETAILS: LACE DRESS (UNDER A $100) || FLORAL HEELS || CLUTCH (UNDER $40) || SUNGLASSES || EARRINGS || LIPSTICK (CANDY YUM YUM)

How amazing is the lace detail on this dress! I am obsessed! Lace gets me every time. I love the sleeve illusion of this one too (under $60) and this one. Even colorful lace is gorgeous, this blue lace shift dress is just gorgeous.

Now I love being a mom. I don’t take a single second of my time with the kids for granted but I also think it’s important to have a little you time. That said, there’s nothing like a girl’s night out every once in a while! Something about a night surrounded by a fun group of your closest friends can be the perfect rejuvenation. My girl’s night plans usually default to retail therapy or a favorite restaurant, but next time you are planning a girls’ night keep a few of these fun ideas in mind.

1.) Try out a new workout, like yoga or kick boxing. The more out-of-character, the better. On top of a killer workout, you’ll probably end up with a few laughs too.

2.)  Who doesn’t love getting pampered? Book appointments to get your nails done all at the same time or schedule a group of massage therapists who will come to you. Or both. That doesn’t sound too bad either. 😉 Sometimes a night in can be just as much fun as a night out, if not more.

3.) Who says poker night is just for the guys? Have everyone brush up on the rules and come with a few different types of poker games in mind. You decide on the buy-in for chips – whether it’s $5 or $500 the betting will be just as fun.

4.) Get Crafty. I love finding crafts, recipes, or home decor projects on Pinterest. Pick a craft or recipe and enjoy a girls night being creative with your friends.

5.) Dress up. Who cares where you are headed! It could be to test the menu of a new restaurant, catch a comedy show, or just dress up for the sake of dressing up. Pick out a fun new outfit and enjoy some girl time! I love white during the summer because it makes you look tan and it looks good on everyone. I got this  white lace dress last week and it’s the perfect mix of classic and feminine, especially for summer. Summer is all about the little white dresses and they have so many cute ones at Lulus. I also love introducing a colorful shoe to the look for something unexpected. I just got these pink ones (under $60) and I’m obsessed.

Hope you all have a great Monday! Thanks for reading! Head to Cody’s blog for a big Father’s Day Giveaway.

XOX,
Christine
