Casual White Dress for Summer
Casual White Dress for Summer
Hello Hot Summer Days! We hit an early heat wave this month which I’m sure means it is going to be a HOT one this summer. Bring on the lightweight fabric and breezy dresses. A casual white dress for summer is a must have when the heat is on. The light color helps keep you cool. I love looking for loose fitting and flowy silhouettes to let air flow. This dress is 100% cotton which is a great breathable summer fabric.
I love the eyelet details, subtle ruffle trim, and embroidered details to give this dress a little bit of statement factor. I dressed it up with my braided heel sandals. You could also toss on a pair of flat sandals for a casual look. If you want to add a little definition to the waist, you can add a belt. This will make it a bit shorter. Also, this dress is lined which makes it not see through at all.

Spring Wear Everywhere Dress
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.
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.

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.

Must Have Shoes for Spring
We took advantage of the big sales weekend to make a few home purchases including a new mattress and this gorgeous new runner for our kitchen. I still have one more item on my sales shopping list, a new pair of shoes or maybe two. I haven’t purchased too many spring sandals in the past couple of years, and I definitely have the itch to for some new ones. Summer and spring sandals are always so fun and pretty, and my closet is ready to welcome something new.
I’m looking at four different styles of shoes which I think are all must have shoes for Spring. I used to be all about the heeled strappy sandal or sky high wedges, and they are still my favorite for the season. But my style leans a little more casual these days, so I’m including a few flat options in my must haves list to help create a well balanced spring shoe collection.
I’ve rounded up some of the cutest shoes in each of these four sections to help complete your spring shoe collection.
