Spring Dress Round Up

It's been a very long time since I blogged.  Right now we should be in CA visiting colleges and hiking through Malibu.  However, the world seems to have turned upside down and no one can manage to make it through an hour without mentioning the coronavirus.  We are staying home. School is likely canceled for the remainder of the year.  Well, not canceled, but we will be conducting school from home.  There is so much uncertainty and so many unknowns.  Posting about my favorite spring dresses feels a bit odd, but also surprisingly normal, and I think we are all craving a little normalcy.  We are still allowed to feel pretty!  We can still shop online! We can all use an in-the-mail-pick-me-up to look forward to!  I ordered a beautiful blouse a couple days ago and I can't wait to receive it (I'll share that when it arrives)  I also ordered Vitamin D supplements (to make up for the heavy doses of sun we aren't getting) and a mega pack of water balloons (to entertain Charlie outside since he can't play with friends), so it's a mixed bag my friends.   When I polled on instagram about receptivity to a frivolous post like this, the overwhelming majority of you said yes, please!  So here it is.  A round up of things that have caught my eye and things that I have purchased.  I might even be brave enough (maybe) to try a few on and show you on instagram.  Do I even own a full length mirror?  I don't think so. Hahaha. I'll have to see what I can come up with...

Dressy! Would wear on a date night (some time in the future...) 

with strappy sandles and chunky rattan earrings.

I missed my chance with this one. 

 Limited sizing left.  Eyelet and bows - love!

This is something I would wear as an every day dress. 

Comes in a few other colors too. 

More eyelet.  Pretty for a summer wedding or special event.  

Let's hope we are out of the woods by the time summer rolls around!

Love this one!  Would wear to brunch, girls night out, day date.

A Target dress.  I don't think I've ever bought clothes from Target other than lounge wear or workout items, but I bought a few dresses early in the season and 

have been impressed with fit and quality.  And they are very inexpensive.

Would wear as an every day dress.  I have a weakness for chambray dresses.

Absolutely don't need this because my volume of gingham dresses is already too high, 

but I LOVE a shirt dress and I LOVE navy gingham.  

I have this dress in another color and would suggest sizing up 1.

T shirt dresses are my spring and summer equivalent of legging and a sweatshirt in the winter.  

I wear them all the time.  Perfect for baseball games and swim meets or just being home.

This one comes in several other colors and is only $15.

Gingham with a ruffle neck and a bow in the back.

A maxi T Shirt dress is my favorite thing to travel in (travel... ahhh... when we will meet again?!). 

But this is also perfect for lounging at home when you don't want to wear leggings! 

 I have ordered this one!

Why can't I resist gingham?! Or a wrap dress?

I have this one and LOVE it!  It's light enough that you can wear it in the summer.  I will add a wide brown belt to mine when I wear it.  If I do a try-on,  now I'm already regretting I suggested that earlier in the post, anyway... IF I do a try-on, I will show it paired with a belt!

Effortless and pretty, to wear every day.  Even in quarantine. 

Same as the chambray Target dress I shared above.  

But in white denim. I have this one too.  

Such a steal!

Yep, Target again! And I ordered it! Honestly, I fully expected to be returning all of these when I ordered them because I doubted I would like them in person.  And while there are a few items I did return, I kept more than I expected!  I would wear this with a denim jacket.

Another classic and pretty for every day

Love the green! And Love the sleeve detail!

Love the smocking and color and sleeves of this pretty dress.  I would save this for when I have something special in my day... lunch with a friend, meeting with a client, day date with Jimmy.

Basically, not a quarantine dress. ;)

Will be ordering this one too!  On sale right now and super flattering color and style.  Ruffles and bows with a pretty cut out in the back.

Whew!  That's all for now! I also have some pretty tops, but I'll save that for another post!
