Borrowed By Design is an online dress retailer that sells and rents dresses. What makes the unique is that they also offer the option to donate to dresses to them and percentages of purchases made gets donated to non-profit organizations!
I was offered the opportunity to review the website and product selection. I chose 3 dresses from the site and anxiously awaited my order. All three pieces arrived separately which was to be expected as it explains on the site. The pieces were well packaged and as described.
This dress in particular is a summer must-have! The length and fit are perfect, and the material is light and breathable. I especially love the striped print and layered design. And at $25.99 you have no reason not to pick this one up!
This summer has been really fun when it comes to color palettes. Traditional fall shades and textures have been re-purposed into summer silhouettes! These shades and designs lend a 70’s feel and I’m loving it!
I picked this gorgeous wrap dress up from Shein.com a fast fashion website featuring the latest trends at amazing prices. This dress was $34.00 and worth every penny. The material is heavy so that it holds its shape accordingly. The faux wrap design is accented perfectly with the sash tie waist and side slit accent. The print is so fun and really makes this piece an eye-catcher! I recently wore this piece to the Pop Shop Houston event at Silver Street Studios and received so many compliments! You can dress this piece up or wear it casual with sandals as I did, the options are limitless!
I purchased this dress in a size M, but definitely think the S would have fit perfectly. The M fits a tad big on me, but it isn’t too bad. I would say order true to size on this piece.
Once summertime rolls around I always find myself eyeing the racks for the perfect tropical floral piece. There is something about the June heat that really brings forth those tropical floral, pineapple, and flamingo vibes! I recently found this gorgeous dress from Groopdealz and had to get my hands on it!
This lightweight dress features an intense side slit with a conservative internal layer, halter neckline with exposed back and shoulder straps, self-tying back, a comfortable elastic waist and embroidered cut-out accents.
Yes, it sounds like a lot is going on, but this dress looks like a simple wrap dress with a beautiful resort-ready tropical print! I decided to pair it with woven tassel accented flip-flops from Stage, and my favorite straw hat. This complete look is perfect for vacation, the beach, or even brunch! Anywhere the sun is out this dress will have you looking your best and ready for wherever the day takes you!
Groopdealz promo items sell out quickly, so I have found a similar dress from Shein!
As most of you already know, one of my favorite clothing items is a great dress! I love finding solid color dresses that I can re-invent in different ways with accessories. With trends moving as quickly as they do, it is nice to have pieces you can hang on to for more than one season, but that you can change based on the shoes and necklace you style it with. That is why I love classic silhouettes and solids, they are so easy to transition!
This fabulous dress features extended sleeves, an empire waist, front pleating and pockets! The material is heavy enough to hold its shape correctly and lay properly when worn. It is unlined which makes it perfect for the spring and summer seasons, and is offered in pink blue and beige!
I decided to pair this dress with my new favorite embroidered heels from Stage, a chunky bib necklace, and a straw hat from Forever 21. These heels break up the look and add just the right amount of print to the mix. I will admit they are not the most comfortable pair of heels I own, but the beautiful style they offer makes them worth the pain!
This is a wear-anywhere dress had me feeling amazing all day! It’s always a good day when you feel amazing, and how could I not in a dress as adorable as this one?! So if you are looking for a great piece to wear to work, or to church on Sunday this is the perfect piece! Check it out on Groopdealz at an amazing price while it is still available!
I find myself on the hunt a lot for work transitional tops. Tops that I can wear with shorts on the weekends, but also style up for work. I luckily found this amazing piece recently from Romwe that fit the bill! This lovely olive babydoll top has such a cute oversized style to it! There are just so many fun ways to style this top and look amazing! – Here I will share with you my favorite.
The best way to wear this top is with skinnies, heels, and a long necklace. I decided dark wash denim would be ideal since the shade of olive is on the lighter side, (which can tend to appear more casual) and cognac accessories to bring the look into Summer.
These woven block heel sandals from Madden Girl are so adorable! I have been wearing them on repeat for their style ability, as well as, their comfort factor! Everyone needs them in their wardrobe this season! I also chose a similar shade tote to coordinate this look.
To sum this up, it is fun to purchase basics in new and interested silhouettes because the are super transitional! This shirt has an everyday t-shirt material, but because of the fun hem and oversized design, it is perfect for dressing up and saying fashionable at the office! (if you work where there is a business casual setting, like I do!)
So check out this awesome top at Romwe! Its only $14.99 so I’m sure it will sell out fast!
One of my favorite pieces of clothing to stroll around town in is a great dress. I guess the reason for this is all you really need is one piece. For me, a great solid color dress can take you far. The reason is, I view them as a blank canvas. With the right fit, and silhouette you can easily transition a dress and “disguise” it to look completely different, based on how you decide to accessorize it.
For some casual spring-to-summer looks, I will be featuring a soft black trapeze dress I picked up at Forever 21, and a comfortable navy popover I received from Armoire Amore. These two dresses are relatively plain in design, but have so much potential for accessorizing!
For the black dress, a great way to keep it casual and easy-going for weekend wear, is pairing it with a tiered metallic and crystal necklace and bright pom pom slip on sandals. These pieces become the focal point of the look. I can easily see myself pairing this dress with ankle booties and a printed scarf on cooler days, or even with a fedora and wedges. By changing the accessories you change the look. Even though it is the same dress, it will appear completely different!
As for the navy dress, I was out and about that day, and needed a large bag to carry all of my belongings in. So I chose a brightly printed tote, and the same pom pom sandals to complete this look. The dress is long-sleeved so no jacket is needed when the day gets breezy, and can easily be pushed up when the temperatures spike. I also paired this look with one of my favorite Luca Love bracelets. Which really added that extra finishing touch.
I definitely see myself sporting this dress in the fall with a blanket scarf and tall boots. It’s just such a great staple piece to own.

Do you ever have those days where you want to refresh your wardrobe? Put a fresh twist on some of your favorite pieces? Well this was one of those kind of days for me. I purchased this beautiful striped dress envisioning it for the beach, or casual weekend wear, but I really wanted to figure out a way to get additional use out of it. In comes one of my favorite vests! This beautiful business vest (similar) is a soft white, comes fully lined, and offers a slight collar. I slipped this over the dress, and voila! This chic ensemble emerged!
When I purchased these pieces I never envisioned pairing them in such a way, but that’s the fun this about clothing, with styles and tastes always changing, the possibilities are endless! It’s great to browse through your closet every once and a while, and see what new creation you can come up with, and what pieces you may have forgotten about. They just might become a front runner in your go-to rotation.
I don’t know if it is just me, but white clothing is something I fear. Well fear seems a little dramatic, but I really am hesitant to wear it. There is always lingering thoughts of sitting on, or spilling something, not to mention most white clothing is slightly see-through so layering is a must or everything will show!
The amazing news is I have actually found a dress that is all white and I am not afraid to wear it! This accordion pleat dress is flattering, relaxed fit, and has an amazing bow accent. It is so feminine and elegant but at the same time, has a touch of edge with the allover plead design.
I wanted to keep this look classic and wearable, so I paired it with black accessories, including an oversized hobo bag, espadrille wedges, and my favorite Jessica Simpson sunnies.
This dress is sure to keep you cool throughout the warmer spring days, and looks absolutely fabulous on everyone due to its amazing silhouette design!
So if you are like me and you tend to steer clear of all white dresses, check this one out! It really is an excellent piece AND it is on clearance right now, so get it while you can!
