Peach Bell Sleeve Dress

Y’all its been one of those Mondays that feels like a Friday #HotMessExpress.  I fully blame Kentucky’s late loss from distracting me from finishing my to do list last night.  Today I’m sharing a Derby inspired look for spring featuring this peach bell sleeve dress from Lavish & Luxe Boutique.  Lavish & Luxe is a new online boutique based in Bowling Green, Kentucky run by two girlfriends.
