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.
