Styling: Florals {A Top Now, A Dress Later}

Florals are one trend that I can't stray away from.  I also love a piece that can work now and also work mid-summer.  This floral dress is a new favorite of mine because it's short enough to be a top now but long enough to be a dress when the weather warms up even more.  I plan on getting a lot of use out if it both ways.  It's a light weight material so it's pretty much perfect for any occasion whether spring  or summer temperatures and the combination of colors is very feminine and neutral (so many things in my closet are bright - it's nice to have a subtle floral in the rotation too).  This pattern also comes in a few other items (good thing, since it's a favorite!) - long sleeve dress /  blouse / skirt.

  8. So pretty!! I really like your shoes too. I deal with this dress/shirt thing ALL of the time at work too. People are always asking if something is either a dress or a top. I say it depends on how tall you are. :-) Looks great on you though and I think that it will be super cute as a dress. :-)

  12. These are my favorite outfits. When you can switch them from dress to shirt, it's a beautiful thing. I love the print because it's perfect for spring during the day, and a nice evening or night outfit. Ohh and those heels? (heart eyes emoji)
