I've always wanted to try out some of Melissa Masse's dresses. She always has vibrant prints and pretty silhouettes for straight and plus sizes, but the prices are a little outside of my budget. Insert Gwynnie Bee, who just started carrying Melissa Masse items. This was the first one I've gotten:

Alesya Bag in Hot Spot

Clarks Boots – similar
Sequin necklace – similar
Charming Charlie Bracelet

The dress was short, as you can see above. I would be self-conscious without leggings or tights, but the weather was perfect for them, so it worked out. The print reminds me of the 80's a little, which I sort of love!
DON'T FORGET! TOMORROW, 4/26 is the Gwynnie Bee Party and Sample Sale in Lexington. I'd love to meet you!
What do you think of Melissa Masse or this dress specifically?

![Who loves a satisfying before and after? 🙋🏻♀️
[Partner] A couple of weeks ago, I got my eyebrows microbladed by the uber-talented @katy.traughber.tattoo at @featherandblade here in #Louisville (they also have a Lexington location.) As someone with a thyroid disorder, my eyebrows have started to thin quite a bit on the outer halves, and I was tired of shaping and filling them every day. I had a fear that microbladed brows would be too heavy or unnatural, but having followed Katy's work for a while, I knew that she really mastered the art of a natural brow. This before and after is from the day-of. Swipe to see a photo after 1 week of healing. There will be some more fading, and then the pigment will begin to appear again in the correct shade. It's really interesting! When the process is finished in another 4-5 weeks, go back for a perfecting session to make sure the color and shape is exactly as I want. I'll put together a full before and after on the blog once the process is complete. In the meantime, let me know if you have any questions about microblading.
