Swimming in dresses

Your Stylist leaves no dress behind this week

Morning friends! If you’ve hit that Thursday slump, I’m here to surprise and delight, or at least get you excited for dress season. One of my first stops this week was the Natalie Martin store opening (look no further for amazing dresses) but it really got my wheels turning so… let’s get into it:

Stunning fabrics at Natalie Martin

Grouping my current faves by activity:

Warm weather wedding:

A warm weather, cocktail attire wedding might be my favorite dress code. The dress can be fun, or simply elegant (see the La Ligne slip below). Cocktail means “have fun with your jewelry” and the shoe can reflect the location (more on that below).

1. Me + Em Evening Maxi 2. La Ligne Slip Dress (use code ABBY10) Slip dress is my favorite go-to for a cocktail attire wedding - so elegant and easy 3. J. Crew ruffle dress

Graduation or shower:

1. Anthropologie Zip Front Dress, 2. Rixo Evie Dress 3. Target Polka Dot Dress

And deserving of their own slides because versatility:

This dress from Matteau which I reviewed IRL this week at the Matteau preview and can confirm is perfect. Get the white for a wow or get the black and wear it every summer forever more. Black pictured in the vid below with the designer herself!

This from Pixie Market

And this from By Malene Berger (Half the price of the Anna Quan version, which I totally missed out on because I didn’t hop to it). Needless to say, this hits my doorstep next week…)

And because so many dressy summer occasions take place on grass, a “lawn friendly” shoe:

J. Crew Espadrilles (these are the ‘mid heel’, the higher heel is here)

Do you feel prepared for summer? I’m not quite there yet, but at least we have some outfits in order. As always, it’s a joy to have you on my style journey, and an even bigger joy to be part of yours!
