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!!

Dress // Shoes

P.S. This weekend!!

    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.

    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.

    There’s a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content.

    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.

I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but why not 🤪. I left the worst ones out 😅

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

And don’t worry I got a new wig this week 😝💀🤣

This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my Nursing 🩺👩🏾‍⚕️ license after leaving my job in 2020 and spending five years at home with my kids creating content full time. To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

I am dancing because I can & because I am thankful. Your life can change SO much in a year, overnight or In a MOMENT. Trust God with your life. He will NEVER let you down 🤍
The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Comb The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Combo😝!!! You already know life is crazy, there is no “work-life balance” & we have stories to exchange for dayyys!!! 

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️

Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD IS GREAT. There are seasons where God takes years and decades to answer prayers (and I’m still waiting for some of those) and then there’s the moments where God answers your prayers hours or a day later. He’s amazing in the suddenly and he’s amazing in the waiting. Thankful for the journey✨Thankful for his faithfulness - thankful that even as I wait - He is still good😌

The way she spoke about healing, freedom, and using your own story to create change was both powerful and deeply moving. Her journey is a reminder that what we walk through doesn’t have to define us — but it can shape the way we serve others.
