Shabby Apple Groupon

While the clothes are a smidge too frilly for working weddings, the clothes at Shabby Apple are just too darn cute to not promote here, the HUGE bonus is that today on Cleveland's Groupon you can get a $100 voucher for $40!!!! Not only are their dresses modest, but they also have maternity too! WOOT!

What I Wear: Merona Scoop Neck Dress



Readers, I have a confession to make... I wore a dress to shoot in, despite swearing I'd never do it. We've had some crazy high temperatures here in Ohio the past few weeks - and even before we were in the upper 80's to 90's we've had some humidity that is just unbearable. So unbearable that in fact that even wearing my beloved gauchos seemed impossible. I had just got this dress from Target and thought well heck, I'll try it. While there were definitely times I wished I had on pants, I have to confess that it was VERY comfortable to shoot in and cool! I thought about wearing shorts beneath them but that'd kind of defeat the point of wearing a dress by adding more layers. While I don't think this will always be a go-to outfit, I must admit that I felt more professional being in a dress. These dresses are sold out online but you can still find them in some Target stores. I have this dress in coral, brown AND black - that's how much I love it. VERY comfy and you can still wear a normal bra with it which is a huge selling point for me. It can also easily be worn in the colder months with a cardigan!

If this is something that appeals to you, keep your eye out at your local Target as I HIGHLY recommend this dress!!!

Ann Taylor: Oyster Sateen Beaded Blouse



While this top from Ann Taylor may not be able to be worn on its own, it makes a KILLER shell to go beneath a suit jacket (or can be worn solo if you've got killer arms). It's detailed enough to dress up your outfit, yet comfortable enough to not restrict you when shooting. Win win! Bonus - it's on sale.

Cost : $39.99
