The Spring Floral Dress You All Need

SPRING FLORAL DRESS | SNEAKERS | BELT

Spring florals of course are a must, but this spring floral print dress is one we ALL need. It’s the most adorable find, and it’s only $20. This piece comes in two colors, and it would be the perfect addition to your spring wardrobe, for more reasons than one.

This is a dress that can easily take on a bohemian feel with booties and a wide brim hat. It’s a dress that can also take on a casual vibe (like I’ve styled it) with sneakers and a funky belt. It can also take on a dressier vibe with nude pumps and and a fitted blazer. Versatility and this floral print dress go hand-in-hand.

Today’s look is a new favorite. I wasn’t 100 percent sure I should style it with sneakers, but turns out I love the way it looks together. I added this fun belt from Calypso Boutique in Lexington, and it completed the vibe I was going for. Naturally I don’t have anywhere to where this dress right now, but I will save it for a sunnier day ahead.

Babiators + More Baby

After the first full week of quarantine we made it a point to get outside this weekend, and enjoy a little sunshine. Although it wasn’t an abundance of sunshine, we embraced every bright and shining ray with Mac’s new polarized Babiators.

Mac is wearing The Agent from the Babiators Blue collection. The Blue Series offers stylish, polarized frames for kids, 0-6+ years. We had a hard time picking between a few frames for Mac, but ultimately, we loved the blue lens and the shape of The Agent.

For us, protecting Mac’s eyes is super important, and something we will advocate for all of his life. This is only his first pair of Babiators, but it definitely won’t be his last. When Coronavirus clears up, we plan to take a vacation (or two), and Mac will be sure to pack a few of his favorite styles for the adventure.

+ MORE BABY

There are a few things we can’t live without right now, so I thought I would share some of our must have items during quarantine. If you guys like these kinds of posts, please let me know and I will put together more *quarantine essentials* for y’all.

Patternblock Floral Dress

PATTERNBLOCK FLORAL DRESS | SNEAKERS

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m here to keep things light this week in the midst of a very confusing and overwhelming time. I will be posting per normal, sharing some fun spring outfits. It’s the little things that bring us JOY during times like these, so let’s do more of the JOYFUL things, and less worrying right now.

While we’re all quarantined (or hopefully are) to our homes, I hope my outfits bring you some hope for brighter, and happier days ahead. Like this patternblock floral dress, it reminded me of sunshine, flowers and summer days. The colors in this dress just make ya happy. And that’s important when you pick clothing. Wear what makes you happy.

I feel like I might be rambling here, so I will cut this off at this point. I hope you guys love this patternblock floral dress as much as I do. You can easily style this as a tunic over a pair of ripped jeans, and a wedge sandal. You’ve got options girls!

Floral Print Boilersuit

FLORAL PRINT BOILERSUIT | BLAZER | SNEAKERS

Let’s get real. I know very few of you care about spring clothing right now. However, with no sports to cheer for, our schedules shifting by the minute, work cancelled or quarantined, schools and childcare closed, 24/7 worrisome news stories, and an absolute pandemic happening around us, it’s a nice refreshing topic. I hope to keep things light and airy over here, because I’m like the rest of you, feeling fragile and overwhelmed. I need spring clothing right now, because it’s distracting.

So let’s talk spring clothing!

This floral print boilersuit is on MAJOR SALE for $15. I love the boilersuit trend that’s happening, so I wanted to purchase a few options to try. This floral print number was my first boilersuit purchase, and I LOVE IT! It’s so comfortable and so versatile. I styled it with a long blazer, added a belt, and completed the look with white sneakers. This is only one way to style this boilersuit. I imagine several ways you can do it differently, simply adding wedge sandals, a denim jacket, and a cute crossbody bag. Your options for styling a boilersuit are pretty much endless.

While I realize this style isn’t for everyone, I think this look in general could be. Take a fun printed top, and printed pants and style it for your every day wear. This could easily be a work look for me. If you’re 9-5 is more dressy, style your favorite printed pieces with black pumps and a fitted blazer. You can’t go wrong with classic accessories.

I hope this spring talk was a distraction for y’all too. It does me some major GOOD to take my mind off of current events for a while. Remember to give yourself and those around you some grace during these next few weeks. We’re all going to be dealing with life differently, and trying to find the best way to survive.
