Express striped off the shoulder bell sleeve romper
Today is the second edition of my RewardStyle Conference experience and I’m sharing one of my favorite pieces for Spring – this bright striped off the shoulder bell sleeve romper! It seriously screams Spring & Summer and is incredibly comfortable to wear. If you read my RewardStyle Conference 2018 Meet & Greet post then you know I got stuck at the airport (well multiple airports) for all of Day One – missing the initial influencer event and then, unfortunately, the retro pool party. But, I was determined to wear my outfit, or at least get photos in it, so we ended up shooting it the morning of Day Two.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post, I’m going to share a lot more about my trip as we get to Day Two and Day Three. Tons of networking opportunities, meetings with brands, meeting new influencer friends, and educational opportunities. But for today I want to focus on this amazing romper AND this mini straw clutch! Both of which are really affordable and versatile for the warm weather ahead. Where we live it seriously feels like “real Spring” weather will never come, minus the mass amounts of rain. Are 60 and 70 degree temps too much to ask for?!


I ended up ordering this small straw clutch two days before I left for Dallas because my original choice sold out, and I hate sharing things you can’t get your hands on anymore (if I can help it). So I ended up having this was 2-day shipped with my fingers crossed it would be as cute in person and it absolutely was. It’s actually big enough to easily hold an iPhone 8 Plus, cardholder, and lipgloss – my standard requirements for clutches haha. And I love the contrast of the pattern with the texture of the clutch! Oh, and did I mention it’s $35?! Yep. I’ll take two, please!


As for this fun fiesta colored romper, I can’t say enough good things. I’m wearing size xs and it’s really comfy because of the elastic at the top of the shoulders and the waist. And the material and design make it super versatile so you can easily dress it up or down. You could wear it to a pool party with flats or wedges, or to dinner with friends paired with a pair of gold ankle-strap sandals! One of the highlights of my trip was meeting the team from Express and getting to show them one of the pictures from this shoot (btw this romper is from Express lol). It was surreal to have a one on one conversation with one of my go-to brands.


I’ll be back Monday with an outfit from Day Two at the conference, a little insight into what all I got to do while I was there, and some motivational tips for when you feel like comparison is getting you down.

Have a wonderful weekend!
