the essential slip dress

Up until this spring, I always thought slip dresses were so cool on other people, and looked so effortless…but I had no idea how to wear them. I felt like on me, a slip dress would just look like pajamas…until I found the perfect slip dress by Splendid at Nordstrom!

The weight of this slip dress is light enough to be the perfect staple dress for spring and summer, but it’s just heavy enough to where you don’t have to worry about it being see through! I think a good slip dress is so essential in every girl’s wardrobe because you can wear it SO many different ways.

Obviously I styled my slip dress really casual here – perfect for a warm spring day, running errands or heading to meet a friend for lunch. But what I love about this slip dress is you could just as easily pair it with a fun pair of heels and statement earrings for a nice dinner or date night!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I am a HUGE fan of Splendid – really in my top 10 favorite brands that are in my closet. The reason I love this slip dress so much is the exact reason why I love Splendid. Their styles are simple and easy for anyone to wear. Yet, at the same time, super on trend. The quality of their clothes is also amazing, so you know you can wear these pieces year after year. A few of my favorite Splendid pieces at Nordstrom right now (they also have the CUTEST shoes):

So many of the clothes I wear over and over again are Splendid…because you can never go wrong with great quality basics. You’ll be seeing alot more of this slip dress this spring and summer!
