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 🙂

    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!

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 ⭐️
