Styling a joyful life
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope your day is filled with love, whether from your significant other, friends or family. We celebrated last night with a delicious dinner and are heading down to the Texas Hill Country tomorrow to visit family. Because love is in the air and spring will be upon us soon, what a better way to kick off than with a gorgeous little white dress, spring favorites for the Lilly Pulitzer “Gifts with Purchase” weekend and a Lilly Pulitzer giveaway!
I hope you have had a wonderful weekend! I was off work this weekend so we relaxed by going out to dinner and church. I wore this new dress to dinner and had so many compliments. This is the black dress for everything! From work to social events, this figure-flattering dress will earn its value!
I was a little hesitant about this dress at first because of its tight style, however it is so flattering! The fabric is soft and a little thicker so it doesn’t show subtle lumps and bumps, but rather just your natural hourglass curve!
The dress speaks volumes when worn by itself, but there are really so many ways you can wear this black dress. Add your favorite jacket/blazer/cardigan for cooler weather. Layer on a fur vest for a luxurious night out. Add a belt to the midsection. Style the dress with knee high boots. The dress works as a neutral canvas and can be created into your own style!
As for sizing, the dress fits true to size. The fabric is stretchy so there is a little flexibility between sizes. Because of the stretch, the length is slightly variable as well. I am 5’3″ and it falls a few inches above my knee, however you can pull the fabric a little higher or lower if desired.
This dress is also available in other colors or with a scoop neck – both options are currently on sale and under $30!
Have fun with this dress!
Live your life joyfully so,
Ashley
If I had to have just one statement piece of the season, it would be this gorgeous sequin skirt! The satin ribbon with the luxurious color and quality combine to create a head-turning style. I am absolutely obsessed with this specific pink color – which in my opinion, is the perfect shade for this season and moving forward into spring. This sequin skirt is available in three shades (gold, pink and green) and is currently part of a massive sale.
I hope everyones 2020 has been off to a great start! Since January is moving along and Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, let’s spread some joy and love this season with Valentine’s Day favorites. Whether you gravitate towards a soft glam or romantic style, there are so many ways to celebrate love and friendships. Or if you are more into cozy pajamas – I got your back! Plus cheers to another fun giveaway! Because what is a better way to start the Valentine’s season on Joyfully So than with a little extra joy in someone’s day?!

Tiered dot skirt
This skirt is so pretty in person – I love the tiered layers and subtle polka dot details. Because the skirt is such a beautiful statement piece, it layers well with simple layers like a pastel long sleeve shirt, bodysuit or cami + cardigan.
Another favorite (not pictured): Shawn Beaded Halter Top – Oh my gosh, the hearts + pearls on this!
Because love and joy is in the air, let’s do a little giveaway! With date nights and Galentine’s events approaching, I thought it’d be fun to include two items for when you are on the go! The first item in the giveaway is a small cosmetic bag that is perfect for carrying small items in your purse or suitcase. The second item is a cardholder for carrying cards in your bag or clutch. Both items are from Kate Spade and have a little shimmer in celebration of Valentine’s Day. Be sure to follow along on Facebook and Instagram for upcoming giveaways as a small token of my appreciation and gratitude for you!

As we begin a new year, I’m reminded it is a fresh season to invite growth, improvement and create goals. Bring it! One way I love relishing in the New Year is with occasional pops of bright colors! Fashion is a way to express personality, and I believe brighter tones radiate happiness. So grab your favorite colors, break up the monotony of winter dark tones, and let’s talk about wearing brighter colors in the winter! Plus, continue on for a Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale update and the most recent giveaway winners!
