The LuLaRoe Maurine Dress

October 14, 2018 By Rebecca balich Leave a Comment

Did you ever think you were born in the wrong fashion era???? Love flowy and ruffly dresses???? Girl, the LuLaRoe Maurine dress is for you!! The Maurine (pronounced with the AWWWWWW sound) is a limited edition style currently and is 100% a piece you will want to add to your closet. Here’s all the need to know info on this amazing dress that is perfect for fall!

Styling the Maurine Dress

The LuLaRoe Maurine dress is a swing style dress similar to the Carly. It’s a little retro with it’s bell sleeves but has a modern twist with a high neckline and ruffled hemline. I love that we have tons of sizing tips on this beauty!!! Maurine is meant to be worn fitted so it’s comparable to the Amelia in sizing. I personally wear a medium Amelia and the medium Maurine fits perfectly! Now if you want it to be more flowy just size up! Styling the Maurine dress can be so much fun! You can add a belt to accentuate your waist and keep that super feminine silhouette. If you are wearing on oversized Maurine you can blouse it out over the belt for a fun look. Just like any other LuLaRoe style, the Maurine has TONS of versatility. You can pair it with a Jill skirt , layer a Gigi or Classic T over it, or even wear a Lynnae underneath. This dress is amazing for your fall wardrobe. I love layering it with leggings and booties. The Maurine is now just $55 and quite the steal!

My absolute favorite piece to pair the Maurine dress with is the Joy vest. The Maurine comes in mostly solids and a few patterns. By pairing it with the Joy vest, you can elevate the dress to the next level. If you’re lucky enough to score a Maurine that is stripes or has a slight pattern, a fun Joy can bring in some pattern mixing to your outfit. I love the Maurine and Joy combo because the bell sleeves (especially the ones that are lace) and ruffled hem are still visible.

How amazing does the Maurine look with the Joy vest???

Maurine is coming in two fabrics- MVS (a Poly/Spandex blend jersey) and CRUSHED VELVET!!!! The MSV fabric is perfect for all seasons. It’s lightweight enough for spring and summer and you can layer in the fall and winter. I’m for sure going to be throwing on some amazing accessories and booties with the Maurine. If you want to check out the Maurine, I have plenty available in my boutique!

LuLaRoe DeAnne II

August 14, 2018 By Rebecca balich Leave a Comment

The LuLaRoe DeAnne II

Classic silhouette, elegant details, and an affordable price. That sums up the LuLaRoe DeAnne II dress in my opinion. This dress has exquisite details and is such a showstopper. I have been impressed with each one that has shown up in my boxes since the dress launched. Here’s a breakdown of the DeAnne II and keep reading for sizing and styling tips!

The LuLaRoe DeAnne II is a layering dress that can elevate any outfit. This dress is sheer and features gorgeous embroidery. Some of the dresses have over a million embroidery stitches. Each dress is embroidered and not printed. The DeAnne II has a high neckline and tucks in at the waist slightly. I love how the tucked waist accentuates your curves. Another amazing feature of the DeAnne II is the scalloped hemline and sleeves. This adds to the feminine and romantic appearance of the dress.

Sizing

The DeAnne II is going to be an amazing addition to your closet. This is the perfect dress to wear to a bridal shower, a rehearsal dinner, or even to take along to wear at a cruise elegant night. The DeAnne II fits very similar to the Amelia dress. Since it it made of a netting type fabric and embroidery it has zero stretch. The tucked waist is made of elastic and that’s of course a nice touch. One recommendation I have is to go up a size if you are busty. I tried on a large and it fit perfectly over my Dani dress. For reference I wear a medium or large Amelia depending on the material. I did have a moment of panic trying to get the dress off though. It’s for sure not a dress you can just whip off at the end of the night. Who wants to snag the netting???? Definitely not me! Since this is a maxi length dress you may find that it needs to be hemmed. Even with heels it was long and I’m 5’5″. I beg you to please take your DeAnne II to an experienced seamstress for any hemming that needs done. This dress needs to be hemmed at the WAIST so you don’t lose the scalloped hem. Same thing goes for the sleeves. This dress is too gorgeous to ruin!

Styling

Let’s talk about styling the DeAnne II. This dress can go over almost anything! It looks amazing over the Dani, an Amelia, a Julia, or even jeans. You can totally do some pattern mixing or stick to solids under this dress. If you want to accentuate your waist a bit more, throw on a skinny belt in a complimentary color. Many of the DeAnne II’s have multiple colors so you can make the dress look different each time you wear it. I love accessorizing and finding the perfect statement necklace and earrings to go with my outfits. The DeAnne II will look great with just an amazing pair of earrings and some bracelets. The embroidery is so gorgeous you don’t want to take away from it.

The LuLaRoe DeAnne II is a special limited edition style (like even more limited than most styles). If you want to see this amazing dress or any of the other new styles I’d love to have you join my shopping group!!!

LuLaRoe DeAnne Skirt

August 13, 2018 By Rebecca balich Leave a Comment

LuLaRoe DeAnne Skirt

Who doesn’t love a long flowy skirt that makes you feel elegant and feminine? The LuLaRoe DeAnne skirt does just that. This skirt is a very limited edition style and will not be made again. If you remember last year’s Elegant Collection, the first DeAnne dress was a true wrap dress. The DeAnne skirt is the bottom of the dress with the same wrapping structure and tie closure. This skirt has so many amazing details that you will for sure want one hanging in your closet. One incredible detail is the elastic in the back of the waistband. Not only does this allow for some added flexibility in sizing, it helps the skirt stay in place. The pleats of the skirt are handset and will not fall out as you wear the DeAnne skirt. Another amazing detail is there are five yards of fabric that make up the skirt. Plenty of material to provide the coverage needed with a true wrap skirt.

Sizing and Styling

Let’s talk sizing and ways to style the DeAnne skirt. The DeAnne skirt comes is sizes XXS-3XL. The sizing is very flexible depending on how you wear the skirt. It’s almost free sizing because of the wrap aspect. This means that you can wear multiple sizes and not spend time tracking down that specific print in your size. Who has time for that? The DeAnne skirt can be worn high waisted or drop waisted. It can be worn with any of the LuLaRoe tops or be used to layer over one of the dresses such as the Julia or Dani. I’ve also seen a few hacks on how to wear the skirt as a Grecian style dress using the ties as straps. I love how on trend and stylish this skirt is. There are so many ways to incorporate it into your existing wardrobe.

The DeAnne skirt is priced at $120 and a steal compared to other wrap style skirts. Even though this skirt is a limited style I hope they bring it back for special collections like the Elegant Collection. I currently have several in my inventory along with the other new styles like the Georgia that are available. I’d love for you to join my group and check one out!

The LuLaRoe Georgia Dress

August 4, 2018 By Rebecca balich Leave a Comment

The LuLaRoe Georgia Dress finally launched last week at convention! This dress was first announced last fall at Leadership and has been highly anticipated! Keep reading for a full breakdown of the Georgia dress!

The LuLaRoe Georgia Dress

This dress is a super cute addition to the LuLaRoe line up and will quickly become your favorite fall dress. This dress is a mash-up of two LuLaRoe favorites! The Georgia features a scoop neck and long sleeves similar to the Lynnae top. The best part of this dress is the three tiered skirt that is akin to the Nicole skirt. During convention Patrick said that the Georgia takes much longer to make because of the added tiers to the skirt. I was lucky enough to wear a Georgia during the Vision photo shoot! This dress was so comfortable and flattering. The Georgia I wore was made of a crepe like fabric and had a good amount of stretch. I’m pretty sure I wore a large but everything was a blur by that time. I had a Lynnae layered over and knotted at the front. The Georgia will be an amazing dress to layer with other styles like a Classic T, Sarah, or Joy once it starts to cool off. What I love the most about the tiered skirt is that it lays flat and doesn’t poof out. Score one for LuLaRoe and making this dress hug your curves the right way! This dress looks amazing on every body type!

The Georgia Dress Fit and Price

The Georgia dress comes in sizes XXS-3XL and fits true to size. Depending on the material you may need to size up one but that’s true for almost every LuLaRoe style. The Georgia will come in many prints and patterns including Noir & Blanc! I can’t wait to see the multicolored tiers and the amazing pattern mixing. The Georgia dress is priced at $65 and such a steal for a dress that will get you through fall and winter.

The LuLaRoe Georgia Dress is arriving soon to my shop! I’d love to have you join and sing one of these amazing dresses!!!

LuLaRoe Dani Dress

July 24, 2018 By Rebecca balich 3 Comments

Today after months of waiting (seriously since April leadership) the LuLaRoe Dani dress is launching!!!!!!!! This dress is groundbreaking for LuLaRoe and will introduce many new people to the brand. I have been waiting for this dress and I’m so excited to add it to my boutique!!!

The Dani

The Dani is LuLaRoe’s first tank style dress. It’s going to be your go-to dress for the rest of the summer (it’s “summer” until October here in Indiana) and can take you into fall. The Dani is a sleeveless, floor-length column dress similar to the LuLaRoe Maria. It features a slight racer back (bonus you don’t need a strapless or special bra!) and the straps are similar to the Tank Top’s. This dress can stand alone on a hot day. Throw on a fun belt to accentuate your waist and some sandals for a perfect casual look. A funky pair of Chuck Taylor’s would also create a casual look. I plan to wear the Dani when we head to Disney in the fall. Speaking of fall, the LuLaRoe Dani will be a great layering piece once the weather cools off. The Shirley, Lindsay, and Sarah will all be great pieces to pair with the Dani and express your individual style. I can also see the Lynnae being a great piece to wear under the Dani a la the 90s maxi dress look.

I’m DYING over the animal print!

Fit, Fabric, and Pricing

The LuLaRoe Dani comes in sizes XS-3XL. Word on the street from April leadership is that the Dani will fit much like the LuLaRoe Maria. I typically wear a medium Maria so I plan to wear the medium in the Dani also. I might even size up to a large or extra large depending on the print and blouse the bodice out with a belt. The LuLaRoe Dani will come in three different fabrics for this initial launch. They are MVS (a polyester/spandex blend), non-brushed DTY, and another polyester/spandex blend. MVS is the most common fabric used in LuLaRoe so you more than likely have some pieces in this fabrication. The non-brushed DTY is a slinky fabric. I have a couple Marias in this fabric and I love the way they hug my curves! The LuLaRoe Dani is priced at $55 which is a great price for a maxi style dress. It’s affordable and you can still have some money in your budget for a Shirley or Lindsay.

Make sure you head to my shopping group so you don’t miss out on this amazing new addition to the LuLaRoe line!

LuLaRoe Carly-The Swing Dress

July 24, 2018 By Rebecca balich Leave a Comment

The LuLaRoe Carly dress is hands down my favorite LuLaRoe dress. It’s probably the most flattering dress in LuLaRoe’s mainline in my opinion. There are so many aspects of the dress that I love. The high-low hemline and the way it flows away from the body. The reason the Carly is so flattering on every body type is it’s silhouette.

LuLaRoe Carly Dress

The Carly is considered a swing style dress. This harkens back to the 1920s and continues to the Swing Era of the 1940s. The 1940s were full of dancing and women had a desire to still look feminine while out on the town. The most famous dance during this time was the Lindy Hop and required comfortable clothing to dance in. The classic swing dress was designed to move freely with the dancer and allow her to flash a little leg at the same time. The hem was knee length and fitted at the waist. Swing dresses in the 1940s used less fabric than the 1950s version because on fabric rationing. LuLaRoe designed the Carly to be a modern take on this classic style.

The Carly dress first debuted in the summer of 2015 and quickly became the number one selling dress in the mainline. The dress is a modern twist on the classic swing style dress. The dress still features a fitted bodice and flares out from the body without the structured waistline. The hemline is high-low meaning the back is longer than the front. You can still flash a little leg with this modern take. Many of the Carly’s feature a front accent pocket. Don’t worry if you aren’t a fan of the pocket! It’s super easy to remove. This dress is so fun to play with and the sizing gives you the freedom to try different styling techniques. Most women size down one to two sizes from their normal dress size. Who doesn’t love that???

The Carly dress is a steal at $55!!! If you love the Carly dress as much as I do make sure to check out the ones I currently have in my boutique!
