For Spring and summer I really wanted a floral dress that was a bit more on the fancy side. For some odd reason I tried to order one from Forever 21 online and I am not even sure why I did because I ended up returning it. Every time I try and shop there I am always reminded that their clothes just don’t fit me right and I think the clothing is poorly made. When I truly want something specific I tend to wait because I always end up finding exactly what I am looking for. Patience is key when shopping for an item, especially a dress that you will really love in the long run. I can’t find this exact dress online anywhere but I did find a super similar floral style here.
Outfit Details:
Sundress Boutique Dress (similar floral dress and another option under $70!), J.Crew Shoes (similar here and here), Francesca’s Earrings (love these for summer and only $12- they come in several colors!)
What’s great about this dress is that I can wear it to church, out to dinner and summer weddings. The print is just loud enough but not overwhelming. I love the flowy detail at the top and it even has adjustable straps which is great for girls like me with a smaller upper body. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a dress with a slip in it. Makes me feel super grown up! If your shopping on a budget, I found a few floral dress options for under $65 here, here and here.
I’ve talked about trends before and how I tend to stay away from pieces that are really out there or won’t last more than a season but these new Pom Pom statement earrings are one I can really get into! I love all of the different colors they come in like pink, blue and white. You can easily match them with different outfits. I went with white because I knew it would match most of my outfits and will hopefully outlast any seasonal color trends.
Shop the Outfit:
Sundress Boutique Dress (similar floral dress and another option under $70!), J.Crew Shoes (similar here and here), Francesca’s Earrings (love these for summer)
I bought this dress at a local boutique called Sundress Boutique (I met the girl Sarah who owns it when I worked in Downtown Melbourne and she worked in the boutique next to me). She’s the sweetest, is actually my hair dressers sister and recently opened a new location in Cocoa Beach! If your ever in that area I urge you to check it out, it’s a super cute shop with a fun boho beach vibe!!! Their other store is located in The Avenues Viera. I’ll put the address below!
25 N Orlando Ave Unit A
Cocoa Beach, FL 32931
Open 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM

July 11, 2017 at 1:52 pmThanks Kristen!!!!! Every winter I always feel so guilty for having so many summer dresses in my closet. Then the heat hits and it’s all I seem to wear. Then I feel okay wit it and justify buying more cute dresses hah!. Thanks for stopping bye!
