Shift Dresses + Coffee Talk

May 16, 2016 By Ruthie Ridley 52 Comments

Shift dresses come in all kinds of styles! I love dresses period in the summer. Let’s be honest, easy is everything! Dressy or dressed down I’m all about a dress! This one is from one of my favorite local boutiques,RIRE. Josie, shop owner, gets all of her unique pieces from down in LA and I LOVE that!! When a dress has a pattern I tend to be minimalistic with how I style it. I paired this dress with a strappy heel and a simple clutch, my favorite sunnies and a red lip… #done. What’s your take on shift dresses?! Do tell!’

This past weekend I had the incredible privilege of taking over the Visit Sacramento IG. All weekend long I got to share all of my favorite spots around the city. Today I want to share with you all, my top 3 favorite coffee shops in Sacramento.  Unlike other cities, we do not suffer from a shortage of coffee shops!

1)The Mill Coffee: 

Drink of Choice— Almond Macadamia nut latte  which they make on site daily!

    Shift dresses are my favorite because they flatter any body type! And sometimes you just wanna throw on a comfy dress and feel free! I love how you styled yours… Oh and that coffee!!! *heart eyes emoji*

    I just love that shift dress. I have never tried one, always thinking it wouldn’t be flattering. But, after seeing the dress on you I need to rethink that and try one on. I love coffee! & those coffee drinks look amazing!

    Love the tie neck detail on your dress. It’s so girly and perfect 🙂 I live in Dallas and my favorite coffee shop is Royal Blue Grocery – they have THE BEST coffee bar and they make hands-down the greatest almond milk chai tea latte I’ve ever had 🙂

    I love the dress. I like that you kept the styling simple. In the summer I’m either in a dress or skirt. It can be freaking hot here in Memphis, so a dress is the way to go!

    Ruthie! What a fabulous dress for a fabulous mama! While I am mostly found in denim (probably due to our odd Midwest weather), I go through spurts where all I wear is dresses – they are SO SO easy! I love shift dresses as well, and this one is so polished and fun! I couldn’t agree more, when there is a print, less is more, and you knocked it out of the park <3. Oh and about those hot coffees… yum! I wish I lived closer so I could visit Rire Boutique and all of those great coffee spots and drink my weight in caffeinated beverages! lol
    Have a beautiful day gorgeous!

    I am obsessed with that dress! It’s right up my alley and I love shift dresses! Also all of those coffees look amazing. Coffee has been growing on me the longer I stay in graduate school so I am definitely starting to be all about that coffee.
