7 Dresses for 7 Occasions


Gooood morning lovelies!! I hope you’ve topped up your coffee and you’re ready to check out some beautiful dresses with me! I have to admit, I’m pretty excited about sharing this blog post with you! I’ll tell you why, RW&CO reached out to me in hopes that I would participate in their 2017 Summer dress collection and while I was totally humbled and really, really, grateful, I was FREAKIN excited about it! LOL! Let’s be honest, what girl wouldn’t want to play dress up in some adorable summer dresses? I’ve basically been waiting since October for it to be warm enough to wear a cute little summer dress, soooo heck yeah, I jumped at the opportunity. Secondly, I was really eager to share these dresses and my thoughts with you because so many of you have been looking to refresh your wardrobe and I thought this might help you do just that … PLUS … one verrrry lucky lady will get ALL of my favourite picks from this line!! So make SURE to enter the giveaway for your chance to win!

Sometimes I TOTALLY struggle with my outfits and I end up tearing my closet apart trying on multiple shirts, jeans, rompers, etc. to turn around and see the MESSIEST pile of clothing just scattered everywhere … LOL … I know I’m not the only one out there who does this … right, ladies?? Having said that, this is one of the reasons WHY I love wearing dresses because it takes literally no effort, you can throw on a pair of shoes and a cute dress and you’re good to go! I don’t know about you, but I feel the prettiest in a dress and I also feel the most COMFORTABLE in a dress … to be honest, I actually despise wearing pants … LOL!! SAY NO TO PANTS!

Anyways, I ended up trying on a bunch of different dresses and I thought it would be fun (and handy) to give you a little insight on WHERE I would be inclined to wear the particular dresses, so, let’s go on a little fashion journey …

Date night: Let’s be honest, Justin LOVES it when I toss on a little dress and a pair of heels when we go out (are your guys the same way?? lol) so this cute detailed cocktail dress would be my go-to … pair it with a hot red lipstick and you’re baby number 2 ready … LOL!!!

Girls night: I think this is such a fun dress, the print, and the style are perfect for a night out with your ladies … or even wine touring (yummmm) … oh, and it’s Nacho approved, clearly. Lol.

Textured Fit and Flare Dress

Brunch and basically everything else: This dress is a wardrobe STAPLE! The fact that it’s white might have something to do with why this dress is one of my faves … LOL! Seriously though, this is the perfect dress for hosting your friends and family for brunch or dinner, weekend adventures, casual date nights, events, the list goes on! Ps. It’s STRETCHY! LOL!

Kicking ass and taking names: Hair up, heels and blue dress on. This vibrant dress made me feel ridiculously confident! LOL!! LOOK OUT WORLD!!! Or maybe it was all of the coffee I had that morning?? Either way, this is one dress that you want to take into the boardroom!

  1. I love the Bodycon Dress! That colour…wow! I’d wear it for evenings out on the town with my husband or friends. It would definitely get packed away for trips down south too!

  2. Love your style! Do you have recommendations for dresses that are nursing friendly and affordable? I also prefer dresses in the summer but I literally don’t own any that won’t leave me sitting in my underwear to feed my baby!

  3. Love the green fit and flare faux wrapped dress! So classy! Would wear it to a few baptism and communion celebrations this Spring and Summer.

  4. Gorgeous dressses!! So pretty. But, on the opposite side of beautiful dresses, I am trying to track down that amazing green sweatshirt you had on in a post a while back, I think it had “Lettuce” printed in a darker green across the front. Loved it, would love to find it! Thanks!!

  5. I am in LOVE with the green faux wrap fit and flare! Beautifully designed spring/ summer dress that is versatile for all occasions…and hello…pockets!!

  6. Jillian you look gorgeous in the photo with Nacho asleep on the bed. You got to wear your hair back more often, it shows off your lovely face.

  7. Hi! I am usually a pant and top kind of gal, however, I have been incorporating more dresses to my work week. Any advice on what kind of undergarments I should use ? I don’t usually wear dresses because spanx are so constricting. Thanks!

  8. I would wear any of them except the blue number to my daughter’s 1st bday party on May 27. Lol
    I love all of them, but the green one is my fav!

  9. Hi JH,

    I really enjoyed this blog, nice to see so many beautiful dresses. MY favorite: Geo Jacquard Fit and Flare Dress & Fit and Flare Faux Wrapped Dress.

    Have a great day!

  10. You look fantastic in ALL of them, Jilly! I think my favourite would be the Geo print OR the Blue – it’s so classy. I would pair the Geo with a jean jacket and my favourite wedges and go on a sweet date night with my love! Happy Monday xo

  11. Ah ?I’m obsessed with the geo print dress – but let’s be honest, you look fabulous in everything Jilly!

  12. I love them all, Jillian ! I especially love that the necklines are just right. As a petite on top gal, too deep a “V” can look as if it is about to fall off me ! My favorite is the pale, fit & flare with ruffles ! I could see wearing it on date night or to a Sunday brunch ! So cute !

  13. Hi Jillian!
    I LOVE the Date Night Ready dress ! I would wear this out on a date night with BF which we desperately need after having our daughter 7 mo the ago. I love everything about this dress. It’s so elegant and “girly” lol Love the blog ?❤️

  14. The white one as I’m engaged!!!!! & getting married in September!!!! Plus I just love white ❤️ Basic staple dress for the wardrobe xox!

  15. I absolutely love the Floral Lace Cocktail
    Dress!! I have two events coming up…a wedding and a retirement party for my MIL. I would totally wear that dress to both!!

  16. The Weekend Adventures dress is my favourite and a close second was the date night dress – with a toddler and a 10 month old, I could use a date night and a cute dress!

  17. The floral print!! “Around the house”. I’d wear it anywhere, dress up or dress down, casual, dressy or work! Looks lovely! ?

  18. LOVE the little “commercial”, the way they added Nacho and Leo into it with you…it made me emotional! I am a huge supporter of all that you do Jillian, and i also work for this Canadian company you have collaborated with (Reitmans/RW) and this made my day!!

  19. I absolutely love the fit and flare with ruffles! So girly and the perfect new mom dress. It will compliment all the right areas! #swoon

  20. Jillian! You always showcase the most beautiful dresses. I immediately started thinking of all the places I would them…. sister’s bridal shower, Caribbean vacation w/ my boyfriend, charity event, birthday party, and of course I would wear most of them to work as well.

  21. Love the white dress for every occasion!! And the fit and flare pink ruffly one ❤️ Too cute for many occasions.

  22. The fact that most of the dresses flair away at the waist and give you the hour glass shape (even if you don’t have one) is really great! Post-baby bodies REJOICE! Haha!

  23. I love the white one, my daughter will be with me on Mother’s Day , first one since she was 16, now she’s a mother and I’m a great grandmother, that dress would mark the occasion for me.

  24. I love the floral lace dress! I teach high school Phys Ed, so I’m in comfy clothes all day/year. ( which is great! But some days you wanna look cute right?) The only day I get to dress up is Grad Banquet. This dress is perfect for that! Classy, comfortable and beautiful! Thanks for sharing all of the options… I will have to take a look at RW & Co. now ?

  25. Anyone who knows me knows that black and lace are a staple.. and the Floral Lace Cocktail Dress would definitely be an easy go to! Like you said perfect for date night, and any fun gathering really! Love that RW has teamed up with you (mostly because you are FAB) and they are my go-to store for anything business casual. You look awesome in all of them but that royal blue on you— on fire!!! X

  26. The printed fit and flare dress with ruffles is adorable! I would wear this to work/date night…evening a wedding. It just looks so versatile!

  27. LOVE the dresses and this post. Can you by chance share what sizes you are wearing in each? I have never shopped at this site before and would love to place an order of some of the items you are wearing. Thanks!

  28. Lordie … I can’t pick … they are all gorgeous !!! what’s a girl to do ? get them all … summer comes but once a year …. right ???!!!

  29. The Everyday Stretch BodyCon Dress is my favourite because of the colour and I am 15 weeks post partum so it would give me a goal to work towards to tone up and lose the last 7 lbs.

  30. You look sensational in those dresses!! They are all so beautiful. I don’t know if I have a favourite. Every one I thought was my favourite would just make me change my mind as scrolling down to the next! I’ll take them all! Your body rocks after baby!!

  31. I love the fit and flair floral print dress, the colour is perfect for summer parties.

  32. I love the date night dress….floral lace. Just my style but I would be happy in any one of them.
