Even though the temperatures in Chicago this week are still way below freezing, the calendar says it’s spring, and I’m dreaming of dresses. Here are some of the styles I have my eye on for when the weather finally warms up!
Butterfly Maxi Dress : The colors, the ruffle sleeves, the butterflies! This dress is gorgeous.
Blue Square Neck Dress: The square neckline and straps make this simple a-line dress special, but still perfect for everyday.
White Dress with Blue Flowers: Ah! This dress is just so pretty. The tie sleeves, the print, the length of the skirt…perfection.
Blue Striped Dress : This sundress is such a great staple for spring and summer. Also, did I mention it’s from Target and costs less than $30?
Blue Dress with White Flowers: This is like the laid-back sister of the white dress with blue flowers. I love them both! The tiered skirt and white flowers give it a more modern vibe.
Periwinkle Gauze Dress: I just love this periwinkle color, and the Madewell lightspun fabric is AMAZING. I think this dress would be so great in a beach vacation wardrobe, worn with flat sandals or doubling as a bathing suit coverup.
Black and Blue Floral Dress : I’m obsessed with everything about this dress, but I think I love the print the most. I’m thinking it would go well with sandals or espadrilles for casual wear, or dressed up a little with a strappy heel, like these from Sezane.
Paisley Print Dress : I love these colors for summer, and the white piping detail is such a sweet detail.
Blush Seersucker Dress: OK, to be honest, this dress reminds me a little of a nightgown, but, like, in a good way? It would be the best for a lazy sunny day, spent reading books and drinking iced coffee.
Green Floral Dress: I am so into florals this spring, and green is always a favorite of mine.
Yellow Tie-Waist Dress: This dress has such a beautiful print and drape, and I love the peekaboo panel in the skirt.
Pink Button-Down Dress: Another Madewell lightspun fabric dress in a shorter length, with the cutest buttons down the front. I’ve seen this dress showing up a lot in people’s spring break pictures and it looks like another great beach dress!
Floral Tiered Dress: I love the thought of this dress styled with sandals for summer, but I think it could even work with tan or brown boots and a cardigan or jacket for now.
Orange Seersucker Dress: I can’t get enough of relaxed-waist, button-front dresses! I don’t usually go for orange (red? Madewell calls this shade “afterglow red”), but the muted poppy shade of this one is just right.
