One of my favorite things about transitioning into spring and summer is dresses. I love denim and layers and all of that but if I had to pick one type of clothing that makes me the happiest…it would probably be dresses.
I love dressing simple and investing in clothes you can wear anywhere and everywhere, multiple times a week. But, there’s something special about adding a new dress to your wardrobe for a specific occasion that will always bring back memories.
I got this floral ruffle maxi dress before Michael and I went to Turks and Caicos last week. The second I laid eyes on it I knew it was perfect for our trip, and couldn’t believe the price considering how high end it looked! This is one of those purchases that just makes me happy. I love how feminine and romantic this ruffle maxi dress is. I love the high/low hemline and the colors are the perfect mix of pastels with organic pinks and greens.
This ruffle maxi dress isn’t one that you’d necessarily wear to work or wear 3 times in the same week…but it’s a dress you put on for a party and instantly have a stand out outfit. It’s a dress you wear to your birthday brunch and feel your best in. It’s one you wear on a 3 year anniversary trip to Turks and Caicos with your husband, and every time you look at it…it brings back memories from the trip!
Topshop has SO many adorable dress options literally for any occasion. If you have prom coming up, they have tons of special occasion dresses for super reasonable prices. If you’re about to head to the beach, there are SO many adorable t-shirt dresses or sun dresses to pick from!
