I bought this dress back in January and have been itching to wear it ever since it arrived, so it’s probably not surprising that it was the very first thing I tucked inside my suitcase for our New Orleans trip. I know that interest in off-the-shoulder, cold-shoulder, and peek-a-boo shoulder silhouettes is starting to wane, but I’m still into it when it comes to flirty little numbers like this. The dress sort of reminds me of a Chloé number without the insane price tag. In fact, it’s now on sale for just $36.50! There’s also a green version that’s still full price. I’ll likely add it to my closet the moment it hits the sale section. I have a pair of palm-print flats (sort of like these) that would look darling with it!

You may have noticed I added this clutch to my sidebar the other day. I’m completely enamored with it. I’m sure you can’t carry much more than a few credit cards, a cell phone, and your keys, but who cares? It’s the perfect clutch for summer with breezy dresses (like this one!) and strappy sandals. I especially love that the wrist strap looks like a bracelet. I have a Visa gift card that I’ve been holding on to since Christmas and will likely use it to buy the clutch. It’s just too cute to pass up and I can see myself using it quite a bit over the next few months. It also comes in red and black.

Hola From NOLA

It’s so hard to be back in Wisconsin after a wonderful trip to New Orleans! I loved the architecture, the easy-going nature of the city, and the weather–even if the humidity made my hair limp 15 minutes into the day! Even though we were there for a short amount of time, having the opportunity to debut my spring and summer clothes was such a nice respite from tights and wool sweaters! In addition to this wig, which is perfect for hot and humid weather with light, crisp cotton, I’ve been all about this pair of sunglasses that GlassesUSA sent over right before our trip.

GlassesUSA was founded with the mission to provide fashion-forward eyewear without the high price tag of designer brands, and they absolutely nailed it with their house brand Muse with the M0527 style that I’m wearing here. The oversize lenses have a flattering cat-eye shape and a unique matte finish. GlassesUSA carries more than just sunglasses, of course. If you’re in the market for a new pair of prescription glasses, you’ll be delighted to know that a complete pair with frames and lenses starts at $48. Prescription lenses are included free with every frame!

New Orleans Packing List

By the time you read this, we’ll be on our way to New Orleans for four nights and I could not be more excited to explore the Big Easy and bask in some summer-like weather! Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to pack all of my new spring items and snap photos of all of them. Get ready for lots of pastel walls and wrought iron details in my outfit photos over the next few weeks! I’ve never been to New Orleans before, but we’re armed with a Google Map full of must-sees, must-eats, and must-drinks. If you have any recommendations, though, please let me know! You can follow my adventure on Instagram and Snapchat (username: bedknobsbaubles). The latter I use mostly for IRL friends, so it’s the unedited, non-blog-worthy take on my life.

The pieces above are just a fraction of what I’m packing in my suitcase. You don’t actually think I’m that good at packing and rewearing pieces, do you? 😉 I’m also bringing my favorite pink dress, this yellow number, a dress that has the best neckline detail, this blue and white one, and these draped shorts that look fantastic with the black tank top and pearl sandals. I also received these matte black sunglasses that I’m bringing along and these stunning earrings from Sweet & Spark if they arrive before we depart. The other items include:
