Over 40 Style-Dresses Perfect for Spring Events

Over 40 Style-Dresses Perfect for Spring Events

Over the years, I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.” —Yves Saint Laurent”

 Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you’ve had a great week. Can you believe how fast April is just flying by? It seems like It was just April Fools Day, and now we’re almost to the last week. I’ve had so much to want to share with you, but there are not enough hours in the day to get it all done. Today, I hope to do a quick ruffled dress styling for you. I’ve found two fabulous Amazon dresses under $53. These are flattering on every body type and work for many spring and summer events and parties.

 Really, with all the occasions to wear dresses in Spring and Summer, these two darling and very affordable dresses could be worn not only as wedding guest dresses but also to Graduations, Mother’s Day brunches, Garden parties, and bridal showers.

Over 40 Style-Dresses Perfect for Spring Events

Crushing on Blue

This Calf-length cornflower blue halter-style dress is easy to wear, flattering on every body type, and fits true to size. It’s no secret I’ve been crushing on this color and how stunning it is paired with these bow nude heels, custom-made Coastal Clutch NY bag, and Julie Vos Jewelry.

Perfect styling for a Wedding Guest look, Bridal shower, or Mother’s Day brunch. Change the shoes and accessories to a raffia sandal and clutch for a beautiful resort dinner dress.

Orange One Should Ruffle Dress

This little one-shoulder Orange ruffled dress hits above the knee and has been my best seller. It’s a little flirty and a touch sexy, yet still classy. This dress is great for a night out on the town, a date night, or cocktails with friends. I have styled it with a pop of leopard for a fun, flirty look, but you could easily restyle this number with nude or raffia heels and a clutch for a wedding or vacation look. The gold beaded jewelry by Lisi Lurch is my daily go-to; it is affordable and high-quality. They do not tarnish.

Trending items in fashion for 2024. has a little elegance, and you’ll see things dressed up with attention to detail. I also love the hint of romance that is coming, such as floral accessories; bye to Barbie Core, and welcome to Ballet Core. (think tulle and ribbons & and bows.) Metallic comes in more substantial, denim is on Denim, and leopard print is making a splash again. We’ll also see a lot more elevated basics versus less athleisure.

Colors and Fabric for Spring 2024

You will see richer hues and less pink. More Reds, Cornflower, navy, cobalt blue, shades of butter & sunshine yellow, and pretty greens from Olive to seafoam. As far as prints are concerned, leopards and stripes are taking the stage, and spring florals are taking a back seat. This is not to say you won’t see florals in the spring, but there will be less than in prior years. Stripes are coming in hot, perfect for the coastal vibe. Denim on Denim is a classic in my book, but we see it in accessories this spring as well.

Outfit Details On Trend For Spring

Hello, Pretty ladies, 

I hope you had a great holiday weekend and that you got to enjoy an extra day of today. Unfortunately, it snowed all weekend and messed up Ben and I’s date night. We had to reschedule it for a day that had better weather as we were headed to Salt Lake and didn’t want to drive in a snowstorm. 

Our weekend was still an entire house project, and I was also trying to accomplish the work I needed to finish on my blog, Amazon storefront, and Liketoknow. I need more hours in the day. 

Today, I must have been feeling a little French-inspired or channeling my inner Coco Chanel with my outfit. I am sharing outfit details on spring trends that I think you’ll love and enjoy wearing in multiple ways this season. Today is just one look, but I’ll be styling these pieces multiple over the next few weeks. 

Outfit Details On Trend For Spring

5 Items Trending For Spring

  1. Stripes
  2. Wide Leg Denim
  3. Thin Belts
  4. Flower pins/ Chokers
  5. Loafers 

Below, you will see how I used these items to create this look. These are great accessories you’ll wear on repeat all Spring and Summer.

Today’s outfit combines trending stripes and wide-leg, high-waisted indigo denim, also trending for spring. This cute trending Lady’s Jacket is a fun Amazon find and affordable yet looks higher quality inspired by Chanel and is a cheaper version of the Jcrew version. The shorter length is flattering paired with high-rise, wide-leg denim. These flattering jeans and White Bodysuit are a “Best Seller” by Spanx.

(SAVE 10% off all Spanx with my CODE: DEARDARCYXSPANX. Free shipping and returns, too)

The accessories here are classic pieces yet very much on trend for spring. A flower-detail pin looks designer and has a channel vibe. A simple, traditional thin belt with a gold buckle and platform loafers add to this chic look, as do a great Hobo satchel/tote. I am finishing with gold jewelry to match the gold buttons on the jacket.

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you had a great weekend. We finished our huge garage remodel and organization, and it looks so good! I’m glad that the project is over. I’m now moving on to getting my office/studio/coset finished. House projects have been consuming us as we are trying to complete everything and 100% remodel to get our home listed.

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time: The right color combination can create great outfits, which makes it easy to shop your closet.

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

 

An Outfit Color Combo That Works Every Time

I have styled an Amazon blue & white striped button-up shirt with Spanx white flared jeans and the “3rd piece” Camel-colored faux leather jacket. Perfect for the Office, a lunch date, a cute teacher outfit, or just grabbing a coffee with a friend. 

Tips that pull this look together

Tip: I tied the 3rd piece with a cap-toe ballet flat (the shoe’s base is Camel), which balances the jacket color. I also added a 4th color, the navy, in my bag💙 This adds a little texture to the look. Finish the outfit with gold accessories: A bracelet stack mix of Julie Vos & Lisi Lurch, a necklace stack, and earrings by Julie Vos.

Happy Monday, Pretty Ladies

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

Don’t you love this quote? It’s so important to dream and believe in yourself. 

Today, I am sharing A little Outfit Inspo. That would be very easy to recreate with items you may already have in your closet that are very similar. Shopping in your closet is something I have always tried to encourage you to do. If you use my tips to help build a wardrobe with great wardrobe builders, you can easily recreate outfits from your wardrobe just by seeing what you may have that looks similar to an outfit that inspires you. 

I challenge you to… Shop your closet and see how you can recreate an outfit that inspires you & hopefully, the outfit I am sharing here with you today might spark that! Here’s an Elevated casual outfit with a little bit of Romance, perfect to perk up a winter day or cute for Valentine’s Day.

A Couple Tips for Building a Wardrobe:

Building a fabulous wardrobe full of classic pieces and a few trendy pieces keeps your wardrobe balanced and exciting. Build a wardrobe with 80% good-fitting, good-quality pieces and fill in with the trends. The key to great style is having the right essentials and basic foundations- wardrobe builders you love and feel good in. This ensures you will always feel and look good when you get dressed when you purchase good-fitting pieces you love. (A whole post on wardrobe building is coming)

What’s Mob Wife Fashion: Meet This Year Fashion Aesthetic

What’s Mob Wife Fashion: Meet This Year Fashion Aesthetic

Hello, Pretty Ladies, and Happy Wednesday.

I am excited to bring this new Fashion Aesthetic to your attention for 2024. Get your Fur Coats out— Mob Wife aesthetic is in What’s a “MOB Wife,” You ask?

This fun trend brings back Glamour and femininity to fashion. Quiet luxury is out, and the clean girl aesthetic is no more. We are moving on to mob wife. This means we’ll see bolder colors, animal prints, metallic, and lots of furs (which can be faux). What’s an MOB wife without all her jewels? Jewelry is bolder; make-up is stronger. Nothing is quiet about this look; if you are ready for a louder, brighter, and stronger look, this one is fun to play with. 

What's Mob Wife Fashion: Meet This Year Fashion Aesthetic

The why behind this look

A drastic change in fashion generally happens when trends get overly saturated. The pendulum swings to the completely opposite side. This means we will see color, bold animal prints, bolder jewelry, More faux leather, and metallics coming in even stronger in 2024. 

NOW… Before you say this looks is not for you: 

✨You’d be surprised how this fashion is so wearable. It’s not far off from last year’s “Quiet Luxury” you can stick with -simple colors and simple silhouettes, Classic pieces like satin blouses and slip dresses, a great fitting pair of trousers and blazers… Leather pants and skirts🖤

It’s all in the Details: Bolder Jewelry choices, Fur Trims and fur coats, Big Designer sunglasses, and luxury bags with more layers. It’s old-school Hollywood glamour, not quite Jersey Girl. This look is also effortless to achieve by “shopping your closet.” I am sure you’ll be able to come up with several looks from your own items.

I am all about this look, accessorizing, layering, and getting a little more dressed up. Life seems to be pretty casual these last couple of years.

Places you could wear  the Mob Wife look:

Let’s face it, you can dress however you want for wherever you want. Here are a few suggestions on what I might want to wear for this fun, glamorous look. 

  • Drinks with friends 
  • A girl’s night out
  • Date night with the hubby 
  • A theater night 
  • A’pre ski is a great time to wear furs
  • Dinner out with friends
  • A Las Vegas or Big City trip

Fashion Inspiration

✨Think -Audrey Hepburn in a  classic black turtle neck and trousers with large movie star glasses and diamonds.

✨Think -Sharon Stone in Casino

Sophia Lauren- What a Women

Of course, this trend isn’t for everyone… but it is fun to play with some things you might already own in your wardrobe …. I created the looks above with pieces I already owned, and it’s a great time to pull out some of your vintage pieces as well. To create your Version of “MOB WIFE.” The name of this aesthetic cracks me up. Just like years past, “clean girl,” “coastal grandmother,” and “Quiet luxury”….
