Shed those winter layers!

Warmer spring weather brings along fresh air, brighter days and light, breezy wardrobe pieces. This long feather-printed maxi dress from Ruche is just that. An updated take on classic daytime dress, this short-sleeved number is made unique with an open peekaboo back. Pair with flats for an afternoon soiree or tall wedges for night on the town, either way it’s sure to flatter. I have already been living in it the past couple of weeks. No matter the occasion-- drinks, casual Fridays, birthday parties, beach dates--I’ve found a way to make this dress work. It’s a chic throw-on-and-go piece and with such a bold print, it really requires very simple jewelry. I went with some delicates, gold rings and a cuff bracelet. Now the only thing I need is to find out how to get it in another color!

Sometimes, it’s fun to let my hair down and play up my free-spirited fashion side. While it doesn’t come out all that often, I, like most ladies, appreciate a look that’s effortless and comfy, yet somehow still stylish. This breezy ensemble is just that!

Fitted for a weekend brunch or a casual afternoon gathering, I threw this together for a birthday party at the park this past Saturday. I love this exotic printed top from Forever 21 because it adds a fresh pop of color to whatever I’m wearing- whether it’s this maxi skirt or even a pair of the most basic denim skinnies! Here, I’ve styled it with a long pleated Lauren Conrad skirt and some bohemian-feel jewelry from Charming Charlie.

With spring right around the corner, this outfit is great for transitioning to a new, warmer season. While breathable and flowy, the skirt is designed with several slip layers so that you can manage to stay dressy without catching a cold!
