Floral Mini Dress with Sleeves
FLORAL MINI DRESS WITH SLEEVES
Ready to add all the spring dresses to your closet? This little mini dress is a must and can be dressed up and down. I wore it with block heel sandals for church a few weekends ago. I think it would be the perfect Easter dress. You could also pair it with a simple nude colored pair of pumps instead of a sandal. In addition to Easter, this dress and heels combo will also be perfect for any bridal showers you have this spring or summer.
Now let’s switch over to a more casual side. A flat pair of sandals or wedges is the way to to go to dress this down a bit for a casual brunch or even a casual Easter lunch. You can also toss a denim jacket over this dress to give it a more casual look. The sleeves have a puffy look, but they lay flat under a jacket. The dress and jacket combo with a pair of cowboy boots will be perfect for rodeo for all my Texas gals. See that western inspired outfit here.
With the ability to dress up and down, this tiered skirt dress will give you lots of versatility in your closet this spring and summer. I love all the details on this dress from the purple floral print, smock bodice detailing, fun and flirty tiered skirt, and you know I love a statement sleeve. It all works perfectly together for the essential spring dress. I’m wearing this dress in a size small.

How to Wear a Dress with Sneakers
How to Wear a Dress with Sneakers
March is here, and I’m ready to start sporting all of the spring dresses! For an errand running weekend, you can pair your dress with sneakers for an easy on the go outfit. White sneakers are perfect because white will work with a variety of colors and prints. Plus, the white helps the color of your dress POP!
My light blue dress is a super comfy sweatshirt knit material. It will keep you warm on the cooler spring days. The style and material of the dress have a more casual vibe which is perfect to pair with sneakers. Keeping with my casual vibe, I added in my little gray backpack which is perfect for an errand running day. Whenever I have a crew neckline, I love to grab this layered necklace. I think it lays perfectly over my dress for a simple everyday necklace look.
My casual weekend outfit hits all the must haves for wearing a dress with sneakers. Casual, comfy, and a little bit sporty with little feminine touches in jewelry, color combos, and a ruffle hem.

Turquoise Contrast Eyelet Pullover
Turquoise Contrast Eyelet Pullover
Our weather has been flipping lots between winter and spring weather. I lived in sweaters and layers all weekend long, and in a few days I’ll be back in dresses and shorts. It’s this season transitioning time of year that I love a fashion find like this turquoise contrast eyelet pullover sweater.
From the initial appearance, you see the bold turquoise eyelet statement sleeve that is so perfect for spring. The spring must have eyelet design pairs with a colorful abstract floral print in lots of fun and bold spring colors. First impressions, I’m here for the spring season. Now here is the good part, this top is a lightweight and soft sweatshirt material on the inside. That’s right those eyelet statement sleeves are lined to to keep you warm on those cold spring days. I love the spring and winter combo in this top so you can still enjoy the spring prints and colors while also staying warm.
A bold print like this will look so good against a pair of white jeans for an even dressier outfit! I opted for dark blue jeans and nude colored heels for a bit more on the casual side of a dressy casual look. For a quick business casual look, pair this pullover with my go to bootcut jeans from my last post.

A business casual jeans outfit is my go to work look lately. These dark blue bootcut jeans have long been a favorite of mine for creating dressy casual outfits. The dark color and bootcut flare style give a dressy and professional look to enhance any outfit. These jeans are the petite length and fit perfectly with a pair of heels which is another easy way to build a business casual outfit.
When looking for tops to pair with my bootcut jeans for a dressy casual outfit, I look for chic, classic prints or solids, and quality material. This top hits all three marks perfectly. The smock details and high neck design give the chic vibe. I love the smock details on the wrists. It give a statement sleeve, and it helps hold the sleeves at the 3/4 length for warmer days. The solid black with a minor red polka dot print is abosolutely perfect and will be great in the fall season too. I was really impressed with the material of this top. It’s a good thickness, so you don’t need a cami underneath or have your bra peeking through. It’s also lightweight so you will not be too warm with it on. I rounded out my business casual outfit with a few simple accessories including gold bangles and white earrings to contrast with the top.
Last week, I officially made my very first Louis Vuitton purchase, the Croisette. I’ve had my eye on this purse for awhile and finally decided to make the purchase. It’s the perfect size crossbody for everyday use. It’s going to get lots of use. I’ll give you all a full review after I carry it around a few weeks, so far I’m in love.
