Spring Dress Edit

| ,

Spring is almost here and it’s time to break out all the dresses that have been packed away all winter! One of the best parts about spring is finally getting to wear all the mini, midi and maxi dresses without needing a huge coat layered on top. From prints to solids and from pastels to bold colors, there is a spring dress for everyone. My preference for dresses is all over the place but I do love the fit of a classic shirtdress. Many of my favorite spring dresses are variations of a shirtdress and are perfect to wear to all the spring functions and occasions that will be happening. Here are some of my favorite spring dresses as well as a collection of other styles I am loving right now.

Spring Dress Edit

Midi Spring Dress

Dress | Belt | Sandals | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

This dress comes in both a midi length and a mini length and is available in every color and print you can imagine. It is a bit of a splurge but the fit and style is timeless and classic. I like adding a belt to create a bit of shape but you can definitely wear it without a belt for a billowy fit.

Spring Shirtdress

Dress | Bag (similar) | Shoes (similar) | Sunglasses

I absolutely love the structured fit of this dress and have worn it to so many daytime functions. It’s comfortable yet still polished and comes in a ton of different colors.

Spring Dresses At All Price Points

Anthropologie Mare Mare Sleeveless Linen Dress

If florals for spring are not your preference, this chocolate brown linen dress is a great alternative. Simple, chic and polished.

Farm Rio Garden Mini Dress

Farm Rio is one of my favorite brands for spring/summer prints. Sometimes their prints are very bold but this one is a bit more understated and simple.

Cleobella Suvi Mini Dress

Another great floral mini dress though I definitely feel like the longer sleeves dresses it up a bit more than shorter sleeves. This is definitely a dressier style overall so I wouldn’t recommend a casual styling with sneakers or flats.

Cleobella Starling Mini Dress

This mini dress is similar to the previous one but the shorter sleeves lends to more casual styling.

Tuckernuck Black Pique May Polo Dress

A casual dress you can wear with sneakers or sandals is always something I have in my closet for spring/summer. I don’t always want to wear shorts but still want to be comfortable and relaxed. This polo dress looks so easy to throw on and go without having to style an entire outfit.

Boden Marcia Jersey Shirt Dress

A midi shirt dress like this is incredibly versatile. Wear it to work with a blazer or wear it on the weekends with flats and a denim jacket.

Hill House Home Jamie Nap Dress

Hill House Home is known for their nap dresses which are usually sleeveless tank styles but this version is closer to my personal preference. A slim fitting shirtdress in an eyelet fabric would be a great dress for so many various spring events and occasions.

Boden Florence Linen Blend Dress

If you are worried about gaping with a button down shirtdress, this shirt style dress may be a better option. No buttons but still has a similar fit with a tie at the waist.

J.Crew Knit Boatneck Midi Dress

J.Crew made a similar dress like this last year and I immediately ordered it. It is such a comfortable dress and incredibly easy to dress up or down. This year’s version is just as chic and a must try!

Spring Blouse outfits

I’m not typically someone who gravitates towards florals or delicate prints, but once spring hits all of that goes out the window! LOL I want to wear all the boho, victorian and floral printed blouses I can find. It’s a nice change from being all bundled up for the past few months so I embrace it fully. One of my go-to spring outfits is a floral blouse and a simple pair of straight leg jeans like I’m wearing in the above photo. It always feels timeless and can work for so many different occasions. Here’s a round-up of 12 spring blouses at all price points.

Spring Blouse Edit

SEA NY Serafina Top

SEA makes some of the most beautiful blouses with exquisite details.

Tuckernuck Blue Ditsy Floral Florence Top

This top embodies spring in the best way. Though they have it styled with denim, I envision this more with white trousers and heels for an elevated spring look.

Aqua Toile Ruffle Blouse

Another blue and white combination that I’m loving – this toile print is so chic!

Sezane Mix Lace Pastel Blouse

I may be influencing myself again because I really want this blouse! The different colors broken up by the lace details – obsessed!

Sezane Deven Blouse

If a colorful blouse is not in your comfort zone but you still want something interesting, opt for a white blouse like this. The ruffle sleeves and mixed patterns across the chest adds so much interest but all in a monochromatic tone.

Anthropologie Lace Stripe Peplum Top

If a billowy boho style blouse is not in your comfort zone, I love the fitted peplum style on this blouse as an alternative.

SEA NY Astrid Blouse

Another gorgeous piece from SEA NY! Between the floral print and lace details, this top is splurge-worthy.

Sezane Embroidered Chambray Blouse

If you don’t want a blouse with too many details, this chambray style is perfect. Only a bit of embroidery at the bottom of the sleeves but the rest of the top is simple and classic.

Anthropologie Sleeveless Lace-Insert Blouse

There is so much going on with this blouse in the best possible way. I love the combination of the harsh stripes with the softness of the lace – it’s the perfect balance.

Pink City Prints Ava Blouse

Peter pan collars are incredibly popular right now so this blouse is right on trend. And the cherry prints make it so whimsical and fun!

Sanctuary Femme Muse Blouse (discount code: MAREE15)

This blouse is one of the most versatile in the group because it’s perfect for wearing to the office under a blazer but also would look great worn with jeans on the weekend.

Ulla Johnson Camellia Abril Top

If pale or pastel colors are not your favorite, this blouse blends some pastels with some vibrant shades in the most perfect way.

The 10+ Best Shoes For Spring

, |

I can finally begin to put my boots away and pull out all my favorite spring shoe styles! These are styles that will take me all the way through summer and into fall. Most of the spring shoes I have in my closet are all neutral tones so they easily go with a variety of looks. While I do have some black sandals that I wear during the warmer months, most of the shoes I reach for are more white, cream and varying shades of brown. I also LOVE clear shoes for the warmer months. I have been wearing clear shoes for years and always recommend them because they can look great with literally any outfit. There is no competing color on the shoe so they automatically work with the look. And they also make my legs look so much longer!

Trending For Spring: Denim Jackets

, |

Denim jackets never go out of style but this season there are so many updated shapes and silhouettes to choose from. Denim jackets are more structural making them a bit more of a statement piece rather than a jacket you throw on as you run out the door. There are so many chic styles to choose from so you can update your current denim jacket to a more elevated and polished option. Denim doesn’t have to mean casual especially with some of these shapes and silhouettes! 

The Best Spring Jackets

I’ve always been someone who likes to invest in a “coat wardrobe” because it’s one of the easiest ways to instantly look pulled together with minimal effort. Keep the base outfit simple with a tee and jeans so you can let your jacket be the focal point. There are some really gorgeous spring jackets out there right now so I thought I would round up my favorite styles in today’s post.

Spring wedding season is in full swing and it can be hard to decide what to wear as a wedding guest. Should you choose something short, long, printed, solid, bright colors or neutral? There are so many options out there to choose from so I thought I would share some of my personal looks that would work for a spring wedding as well as other options that would suit a variety of venues and dress codes. When I think of spring wedding guest outfits, I immediately picture lightweight fabrics in soft colors.  Delicate details mixed with neutral accents perfectly embody a spring wedding guest look.
