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!

I'm a huge fan of both of them after watching Breaking Bad, and I love Dos Hombres mezcal 🍹  They are super nice guys and took their time chatting and taking photos with everyone there. I'm so thrilled I got to attend this event and that it was at the Waldorf, one of my favorite places 🌴💚 The signed and engraved bottle is a fabulous keepsake from an unforgettable evening ✨️
