This dress comes in 3 colors, and it’s absolutely precious. The Bloomingdale’s AQUA Ruffle-Trim Tie-Waist Dress is a fabulous dress for summer! If you’re looking for a flattering dress, this is an awesome choice.

Look modeled by me, Christina Chitwood, with our baby boy, Caleb at 12 months old. My husband, Tom, is also in certain photos with us. Photos taken by Billy Economou of BE Studios. Photoshoot in La Jolla, California.

Outfit Featuring Bloomingdale’s AQUA Ruffle-Trim Tie-Waist Dress
I’ve worn this dress for Caleb’s 12-month-old photoshoot, during our vacation in Hawaii, to church, on date night (We bring Caleb with us!), and on days out! I wouldn’t hesitate to say I love this dress and would definitely buy it again!

This dress is elegant and under $100. It’s very comfortable and a great length dress. It’s long enough that I feel more comfortable bending down to pick something up than in most shorter dresses. The ruffle sleeves, ruffle trim on the skirt, and the bow that can be tied in the front or back are sweet details. I’m wearing the light blue dress, which I love. The dress is also available in a classic white and grey/pink stripes. All three dresses are really pretty. I especially love the blue and white colors so much that I wouldn’t mind owning both. 😉

These are some of my go-to sandals that are comfortable, stylish, neutral, and perfect for an active mommy of a toddler! Of course, these are great sandals for any age, too.


I’m wearing my favorite stud earrings at the moment! I love how these are sparkly and beautiful yet look great for day-to-day life.

I absolutely adore Caleb’s outfit! It’s such great quality and feels great.
