Easter Inspired Dress

Today I am sharing this belted Bardot, Easter Inspired dress.  I love the tie detail as well as the embroidery on the sleeve.  I am short but I still love the length of this dress.  I feel like it isn’t typical and actually makes you stand out a bit.  Blue is my favorite color in the world and so this made this purchase that much easier.  I don’t know about you but on Easter Sunday it is busy, crazy, wild and I want to be cute but comfortable.  This dress affords both! I wanted to give you some inspiration early in the week for those last minute shoppers out there! You can get my dress here and my shoes here.  My watch can be found here.  I LOVE Daniel Wellington.  This new style is so chic! Use my code ‘RUTHIERIDLEY17’ for 15 % off of your watch purchase!  I hope you all have a really amazing week and Easter weekend! For those of you in the area, I am hosting a closet sale with my girl Katie Torwalt.  Be sure to come shop our closets and hang out if you are around!! Thank you as always for stopping by the blog!!

    I miss dressing up for Easter! You’re right, that dress is a nice find for the upcoming holiday. The embroidered sleeves give it just the right touch.

    Loving this look! It truly is an ideal dress for Easter! Might have to pair it with a jacket here as it won’t very warm, any suggestions?

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of
    content so people could connect with it better. Youve got
    an awful lot of text for only having one or two images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    I like the valuable info you provide in your articles.
    I will bookmark your weblog and check again here regularly.
    I am quite sure I’ll learn a lot of new stuff
    right here! Best of luck for the next!

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or
    copyright violation? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either
    created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot
    of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any
    techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.

  24. Vickey says

    Hello! Would you mind if I share your blog with my twitter group?

    There’s a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content.
    Please let me know. Thanks

    Aw, this was a very nice post. Taking a few minutes
    and actual effort to generate a top notch article…
    but what can I say… I put things off a lot and don’t manage
    to get nearly anything done.

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️
