SPRING DRESS OBSESSED

Who else is in the mood for spring? To shake my winter blues, I took to some local shops in search of spring dresses. I am all about easy, fun and comfortable dresses. Fun fact: I’m the girl that loves to pair a dress with sneakers!

Check out my top picks (sneakers optional): 

SASSANOVA

Sassanova is a great place for spring dresses. I have now fallen in love with the ruffled collar dress! Dress it up with a heel or keep it casual with a white sneaker. This dress is extremely comfortable and who doesn’t love a good animal print? I even paired it with a funky white leather jacket and belt for added style.  

  • BlankNYC Pure Motivation Jacket, $98, Sassanova
  • Essentiel Zoku Ruffled Collar Dress, $260, Sassanova

You should not leave Sassanova without trying on their most popular Saffron dress. It comes in two other colors — cognac is my color for spring! You can do so much by adding a dress shirt underneath for fall or simply rocking it with a statement necklace. 

  • Amanda Uprichard Slvls Saffron Dress, $224, Sassanova

Morley

Morley is known for its easy breezy dresses. After trying on everything, I landed on some bold colors and prints I could not live without!

I am a firm believer that bold colors and prints make us all happy. The Ramy Brook dress is such an eye catcher and feels like a cloud on your body. I would style this with a cute denim jacket for a day look with sneakers or a leather jacket and heels for a night out. 

  • Ramy Brook Lillie Dress, $425, Morley
  • MISA Los Angeles Bridget Dress, $358, Morley

Indigo Octopus

Indigo Octopus has received some new spring dresses with a boho feel. I tried a beautiful full-length printed gown that felt amazing. So many ways to style this dress with jackets or even adding a belt.
