First Taste of Spring

We had our first gorgeous spring weekend, and I could not have been more excited to pull out this cute dress I picked up at Loft last fall. I'd only gotten to wear it once before it got too cold, but now it's long sleeves make it just right for transitional spring weather.

I've become such a fan of dresses with long sleeves over the years - how often do I struggle to find just the right cardigan or jacket to compliment a sleeveless dress? I wore this dress to a baby shower on Sunday and it was great being able to take off my jacket when I arrived and be perfectly comfortable. Loft actually has a very similar dress available now and it's only $35 - I need to resist!

  7. Yes I get so cold easily that I feel like it is better to either have my legs or my arms covered. It's nice to find lightweight dresses so I don't always have to wear a cardigan or jacket! That dress is really cute on you!

  9. That is such a cute dress and it looks lovely with the denim jacket! I only have a few long sleeve dresses but they get worn a lot - especially if they are light like this one, I've worn them in the middle of summer for heat protection too!

    Hope your week is going well so far :)

  16. I love the idea of sleeveless dresses, but as someone who cannot go braless, I find that in practise, they are very hard to wear well and feel comfortable in. Which means, especially in recent years, I've been deliberately seeking out dresses with either short sleeves or long sleeves. I love both equally, but there is no denying how easy it is to style a long-sleeved dress, especially in the spring, when it's often not truly warm enough to go without something else over top. All that said, I think it's your black straw bag I'm looking at most in these photos - I have the same one but have not used it nearly enough, and I really need to fix that this spring.
