Spring Sundress

Spring calls for colorful dresses to match the blooming flowers! I ordered a few dresses for upcoming events, and this one was too good not to share. I love that the self-belt cinches your waist while the skirt and sleeves are still flowy. I styled the dress with gold jewelry and neutral accessories to complete the perfect brunch, Easter Sunday or bridal shower look.

Thanks for stopping by, friends! XO, MS

Styled Spring Looks #2

Just in case you needed a little spring inspo on this Monday morning! After a week of freezing temps, we now have beautiful sunny and 75 degree weather here in Dallas. That’s Texas for you! I’m over layers and snow boots and ready to move into sandals and sundresses. I decided to style a few spring looks to get you ready for the warmer weather ahead! Many of these pieces can be transitioned from winter to spring just depending on how you style them. Have fun shopping!

I’d also love these two tops paired with white jeans – another easy way to brighten up a winter to spring look.

Pastels scream spring, and these dresses are no different! Of course you can dress them both down with a flat sandal and denim jacket.

I love a beige or ivory jean as opposed to a white jean. These are a great way to add another neutral pair to your closet without them being white or a light wash.

Spring Shoes under $200

Do you love shoes? I definitely do and have forever. I remember as a child prancing around my house in those plastic dress up heels. Now the heels I wear are more expensive and more uncomfortable, go figure. Today, I want to share some of my favorite sandals, sneakers and heels that you can wear now all the way through summer. Best part, they are all under $200!

Wear these with the dresses from Monday’s post, here!

Bright Colors for Spring

It’s feeling more and more like spring everyday! Yesterday was absolutely stunning. There was not a cloud in the sky, and flowers were blooming everywhere. When I think of spring, I think of bright colors whether that’s in the clothes I wear, the flowers in bloom or the radiant sunshine overhead. I’m working on incorporating more color in my wardrobe this spring. As I invest in colors other than blue, I’m finding new outfit combinations to create just like this one. Unfortunately, I can’t link the items shown, but I’ve tagged similar ones.

Create your own brightly colored look by starting with the pieces linked above!

Spring, We Welcome You

Spring is officially here (PRAISE!!), and it’s time to transition our closets to the current season. This leather dress, a staple of my fall/winter wardrobe, can easily be transeasonal. Instead of wearing a sweater and boots, I’ve paired this dress with my favorite denim jacket and spring silk scarf. AND, who cares about the “white rule” – don’t be afraid to pull out those white sandals you haven’t worn since labor day.

What pieces in your closet are you transitioning to spring?
