Spring Dresses You’ll Wear Everywhere
There’s something magical about finding a dress that not only makes you feel confident and comfortable but also works double duty across seasons. As the days get longer and warmer, now is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with spring dresses that will effortlessly carry you into summer. The best part? These versatile picks aren’t just pretty—they’re perfect for everything from weddings to work.
Floral prints are always a spring favorite, but don’t sleep on soft pastels, breezy neutrals, and bold color blocks that transition seamlessly into the heat of summer. Lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen, and chiffon keep you cool while looking polished. Think midi dresses with flutter sleeves, strappy sundresses with a hint of romantic detail, or a sleek wrap dress that can go from day to night with just a change of accessories.
Got a wedding or graduation coming up? A flowy maxi dress in a cheerful print or an elegant solid hue checks all the boxes: stylish, comfortable, and event-appropriate. Add heeled sandals and statement earrings, and you’re instantly celebration-ready. For date night, slip into a flirty mini with cut-out details or a sleek bodycon silhouette—add a denim jacket if the evening breeze picks up.
Heading into the office? A structured shift dress or tailored midi keeps things professional without sacrificing style. Pair it with loafers or block heels and a tote bag, and you’re good to go from your morning meeting to an after-work dinner.
These dresses aren’t just beautiful—they’re smart investments in your wardrobe. With the right styles, you’ll be ready for every occasion spring and summer send your way. Trust me: once you find that dress, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

What I Wore: Florida Beach Vacation
We closed out summer with a week long trip to Saint Augustine, Florida. It was our first big family trip with the baby. He absolutely loved the beach. He loved moving sand around with a shovel, splashing in the water, and of course he loved his beach snacks.
We planned to have a mix of beach days and days to go into town. The second half of the week included high tide and rain, so we piled our beach days into the first half of our trip and did a couple day trips into town during the second half. We did get rained out one day, but we still managed to get some shopping done.
For my swimsuits, I look for higher necklines which I find to be a better option when chasing a toddler around. He’s starting to walk but still likes us to hold his hands, so I bend over a lot and like the added protection of a higher neckline. All my swimsuits are also full coverage bottoms.
For our tourist days, I only brought one dress and lots of shorts outfit options. I thought the shorts would work better with the rain and possible wind. I’m working on a full post of what I packed for both baby and I on this trip, so stay tuned for that in the coming weeks!
