How to Wear a Day Dress

Very often when I am going somewhere I turn to the day dresses I have in my closet. For me, they are so easy to grab, put on, and go. I don’t have to worry about matching tops and skirts; I don’t even have to think.

While I sometimes struggle to find dresses like this that fit well, look great, and are super comfortable, when I do, I wear them all the time. I actually have this one in a bright shamrock green as well.

The ¾ sleeves make it perfect almost year round and the fit and flare silhouette is very flattering.

I also love the bold color. It is very striking and pops against my skin and hair. Plus it pairs well with neutrals and metallic, like the Prada shoes I wore with my polka dot skirt.

Those shoes are actually one of my favorite things in my closet. They were a collaboration with Neiman Marcus when they celebrated their 100th anniversary. I picked up this alligator pair on sale and couldn’t be happier I found them.

The next time you are searching through your closet, wondering what you should wear, try a casual, comfortable dress.

    Cute dress! How tall are you? I’m 5’9.5” which unfortunately means a lot of cute dresses are inappropriately short on me. This one is a nice length!

      I’m 5’2″, so most things are super long on me. I like this dress because it is a good length, and I bet it would work on you too.

    I wore a similar dress in white twice last week. I agree with the ease of wearing a day dress! Now I just need a close up of those shoes (I have a little shoe addiction problem ;)). You look great!

What a fun time I had @hyattregencygrandcypress fo What a fun time I had @hyattregencygrandcypress for Balloon Wonderland benefitting @gktwvillage last weekend 🎈 It was mesmerizing to see all the amazing creations as I was immersed in another world full of cuteness and color ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 As much as I love the balloons, my favorite part of the event was seeing the stars all around the exhibit with wishes written by the kids who have stayed at the Village. It's such a reminder of the great work the charity does. I can't wait for Balloon Wonderland next year, and you should keep a look out for it as well as other events put on to benefit Give Kids the World Village 🌎
