Last First Day Style.

     Today's post is sponsored by Dainty Jewell's. Thank-you for supporting the brands that support Southern Belle in Training!









Dress: c/o Dainty Jewell's // Shoes: Nine West {not online, similar pair here} // Sunglasses: Le Chateau // Purse: Vintage Chanel {much cheaper and similar version here} // Earrings: Talbots {old, similar here} // Lips: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Rosewine



     Ah- the first day of school outfit. The type of look that can make or break the course of the whole semester. The pressure is even more intense to look fabulous when the semester brings your last-ever first days of school! #senioritis. 

      Luckily, the most beautiful dress from Dainty Jewell's arrived in my mailbox just in time to solve my first day wardrobe dilemmas. Dainty Jewell's is an online clothing retailer that specializes in making uniquely feminine pieces. The founder of the company is a Christian, and you can read on their website about how she desires to bring a sense of modesty and elegance back into the way that today's modern women dress! I am always a fan of supporting Christian companies, and I really like the principles behind founding Dainty Jewell's.

      The dress that I chose, the Central Park dress, is pretty much perfect. It reminds me of a twist between a Kate Spade dress, or a vintage number that a glamorous actress like Audrey Hepburn might have worn. It is a modest and ladylike dress, but not at all frumpy. I felt like a princess while wearing this dress during my first day of classes for spring semester, and I also received more compliments on my outfit then I possibly ever have in all of my college career! (Seriously- people that I've never even seen before at school were coming up to me and telling me how much they loved this dress!)


     If you're looking for a unique dress that will truly turn heads (in the most ladylike and chic way!), then look no further than Dainty Jewell's. :-) They also sell skirts, tops, and some other apparel! 


      Unrelated- but do y'all like the location that I shot these photos at? My best friend Mia, who since October has been taking the majority of photos for Southern Belle in Training, has been really encouraging us to start shooting more in spots around Greater Charlotte again, and not just on campus! I've been so busy this year that I often just shoot my outfits on campus in between my classes or school commitments, but there is truly an incredible city right at my disposal with so many places for photoshoots! 


     Happy Long Weekend!
