Delicate Details


gifted Madison Marcus Dress (also crushing on 1, 2, 3).  Kate Spade Necklace.  
Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Boots (similar) gifted Brahmin Bag.  Miu Miu Sunglasses.

I can't get enough of the delicate details on this ultra feminine dress. The ruffles along the sleeves and hem make it feel extra whimsical and girlie. It reminds me of my favorite blouse seen here, here and here, (a blog repeater!) but in dress form. I would wear this dress to multiple occasions, a girlfriend's bridal shower, wine tasting with the family or a special date with my guy. Every girl needs a versatile little number like this in her closet!


Tip: Wear your spring / summer dresses now paired with fall and winter boots as the weather transitions. Belt a sweater around your waist (seen most recently here) if it's a particularly chilly day.

I die over this look. I love over-the-knee boots, but haven't been able to find a pair that suits my short stature. Wish your recommendation was available in my size still!
