CHAMBRAY MINI DRESS WITH SLEEVES

I feel like I’ve shared so many dresses lately, I promise I have more jeans and shorts outfits coming soon.  The dress game this year is so good, plus I have more places to go this year and wear all of these fabulous spring dresses. While many spring dresses are sleeveless, I like to make sure and add a few dresses with sleeves.  Some occassions call for a dress with sleeves.  This chambray mini dress with sleeves stole my heart. The sleeves are the perfect amount of loose.  The band at the bottom of the sleeve doesn’t sit too tight, but it will hold the sleeve up if you need it too.  It’s such a fun and playful silhouette.  The material is lightweight and perfect for a warmer spring or summer day.  The collar has a pretty ruffle trim and embroidered detail to give this mini dress just a hint of statement factor.

I paired it with a braided wedge sandal for an outfit perfect for a bridal/baby shower or lunch with your gal pals.  This outfit idea will also work for Easter.  For a work friendly look, I paired this dress with a pair of tan loafer flats.  For a western inspired outfit, I paired this dress with a pair of western style booties.  Cowboy boots would be perfect too!

Boho Chic Outfit for Spring

This white flowy top helps create the perfect boho chic outfit for spring! To create boho chic outfits, I look for loose and flowy clothing in natural tones and/or  fun patterns.  This loose and flowy white top with earth tone embroidered print details on the shoulders is absolutely perfect.  For spring, I’m pairing it with a looser pair of light blue jeans with a tapered ankle.  For summer, a pair of faded black denim shorts will keep with the boho vibe for warmer weather.

To complete your boho chic style, add in leather or suede flat sandals or booties.  I love the straps and stud embelishments on this pair.  Colorful and bold accessories will help complete your look.  I chose a few of my crystal bead bracelets in colors that complimented the embroidery details in the top.  All together it creates the effortless and relaxed look perfect for your next weekend.

Sizing Notes: Jeans are ankle length which is perfect on my petite height.  The fit is TTS, but these are a button fly which doesn’t have as much give in the waistline.  I would consider sizing up if in between sizes.  These sandals I chose my true size because I preferred the snugger fit of the straps.

SPRING WEAR EVERYWHERE DRESS

I hope you found some fabulous dress picks in last week’s post! I have a few fun dresses coming in this season, and my first one I call the spring wear everywhere dress. Why?  Because as the name says, you can style this dress to be worn just about everywhere!

WEEKDAY DRESSY (office, church, etc) : Add on a neutral loafer or classic heel.  Layer with a navy blazer or cardigan for cooler weather.

WEEKEND DRESSY (bridal/baby shower, brunch): Wear as featured with a cute pair of braided heeled sandals or wedges.
CASUAL (brunch, errand running): Add on a pair of white sneakers or a flat sandal and a denim jacket.

A quick shoe change and possible layer add on can take this dress wherever you need to go this season.  I’m wearing this dress in an XS Petite.  The petite length is perfect on my 5’3 height.  Also, I’m so excited for these heels! I tried to buy a similar pair last summer that was ALWAYS sold out.  Lucky for me, because this pair is just as cute and a fraction of the price.  I opted to go up half a size for a little bit more length on the shoe.
