We are entering my favorite time of the year: the span of warm weather between April and September in which I exclusively wear dresses. Praise be! I am head over heels for the Juliet Dunn dress seen above (currently up to 25% off at Shopbop — today is the last day of that promotion! More of my picks here!). I’d been eyeing this brand for at least two seasons and I couldn’t resist this beautiful pattern, equal parts bold and sweet. This brand does run big — I took the 0 in this and it is really roomy, but I’m still keeping it. I just love the pattern so much and you can tie the bows so that it feels snug enough to keep everything covered. I also personally like loose-fitted, body-skimming, slightly boho styles like this. Perfect for DC humidity and comfort while writing. Showing some detail shots below. I wore with my favorite Gucci dad sandals and Lizzie Fortunato flower necklace.
A couple favorites on my radar at the moment:
01. THIS OPHELIA AND INDIGO (UNDER $200)
02. THIS STRIPED MINI (UNDER $200)
03. EMBROIDERED WHITE MIDI (SUCH A GREAT ZARA SCORE — UNDER $125)
04. THIS MILLE (BRAND RUNS BIG, SIZE DOWN — I OWN THIS DRESS IN THE MIDI LENGTH VARIATION AND HAVE BEEN LIVING IN IT)
05. LORETTA CAPONI (ON SALE, $202)
07. THIS EMBROIDERED DRESS — UNDER $150
08. THIS JULIET DUNN (SEEN ABOVE — RUNS LARGE; SIZE DOWN ONE SIZE*)
09. THIS HUNTER BELL
10. HILL HOUSE NAP DRESS (UNDER $200)
A few others not seen above…
JULIA AMORY SHIRTDRESSES – I OWN THREE BUT COULD EASILY GO BACK FOR MORE…MY FAVORITE EVERYDAY DRESSES
THIS BANJANAN DRESS (RUNS LARGE; I HAD TO RETURN THE XS BUT THE STRIPES ARE SO JOYFUL!)
P.S. New jewelry for the spring season.
P.P.S. My Invisalign journey. I had no idea how insecure my teeth had made me! I’m so glad I took the plunge. If you’re waiting for a sign to do the same — this is it.
P.P.P.S. In case you need a permission slip, and in case you need a soft landing.
