Product Review: Elegantees

This week I received a little pretty in the mail from Elegantees. 

Elegantees.com is a company that promotes modesty with the mission of fighting human trafficking. 

You can read more about their mission here.

I was delighted when they asked me to sample one of their pieces.

 I paired it with a suuuper comfy and easy black maxi skirt that I recently bought at H&M. 

It. Has. Pockets. Yes!!

I loved the detailing on my top, it adds a little pizzazz to the neckline. Also, it was high enough that I didn't have to wear another shell underneath, which was nice.

And the color? One of my favorites this year! 

All in all, I was content with the top. My only advice in shopping Elegantees would be to watch the lengths of the garments. This particular top is very long on my short frame, so I had to tuck it in my maxi skirt. But if you're looking to shop for a simple {and modest!} summer tee and support a good cause, this would be a great place!

What I Wore Sunday

Summer is in full swing and I must be on some sort of lucky streak when it comes to thrifting, because this weekend I wore yet another dress that I found at Goodwill. And I feel like I talk about thrift stores alllllll the time, and I'm constantly telling everyone I know how glorious our recently renovated thrift store is. No joke, I'm pretty sure I've told everyone who is anyone that loves shopping. Did I miss anyone?

A lady at my church called this my, "Lucy Dress", because it reminded her of Lucille Ball. I'm okay with that, I Love Lucy is one of my favorite shows. :) Anyway, this has got to be my favorite dress to date, it is so fun and fits perfectly!

I tried to pair a different belt at first, to add another element, but in the end decided the wrap around tie it came with looked best.

Lastly, my dress was modest and needed no adjustments! It had a peephole in the front, but it was nothing a simple tank top underneath wouldn't solve. Really, it was perfect and will be a great addition to my closet for summer.

Happy Monday and I hope you had a good weekend!!

Hair Tutorial: The Top Know Part II

Once again, let's skip over the fact that my facial expressions look like a reaction to death, famine, and pestilence. We good? Fantastic! After one of my Instagram followers asked if I had a hair tutorial for the top knot, I pointed her to this post, which was my first top knot tutorial. Easy shmeasy. Then I realized, there are two ways I create my knot, so today, I thought I would share my second way. Depending on the length and thickness of your hair, one of these tutorials are bound to work for you.

I originally posted a version of this on MoMoMod, many moons ago.

Begin by placing your hair in a high ponytail. 

 Take another hair tie and pull your ponytail halfway through and stop.

 It should look a little something like this.

Take your remaining hair, and wrap it around 

 You can leave some of the curls hanging for a shabby chic look, or wrap it all the way around.

Pin, pull, and adjust where needed, and you're set!

You see? So simple! I can usually do the entire thing in about 5-10 minutes.

Any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments!
