10 Spring Dresses You Need Right Now

Feel fine & fancy free in frills, florals and shoulder baring dresses

Spring is nice because snow melts, flowers bloom and we get to come out of hibernation, but the real reason spring is a winner is because we can start wearing dresses again. Dresses! Without tights! The freedom of wearing a dress and not having to layer is unmatched.

You could say I'm pretty excited about it. Naturally, I've already started bringing my favorite dresses to the front of my closet, including this one I fell in love with last year. And since it's no fun being excited alone, here's a roundup of some beauties to get you excited, too.

Like Paradise

This week is all serious stuff for me -- taking finals to end this semester and getting started on my upcoming summer semester. That means I've been spending a lot of time trying to find ways to keep my mind off of the impending responsibility. 

A great way to avoid present responsibilities is to take a trip to the past. Currently my head is back in L.A. where the sun was always out, street corners were lush and I was carefree enough to go boho,  flash tats included. 

Yes, I'm late to the party, but I feel like if there is anywhere in the world to stamp your body with gold, it would be the west coast. This printed peasant dress was an easy wear during my trip, and I can't wait to wear it again, even if it is just to pretend I'm back in a mini paradise.

reworkin' it

The first littering of leaves are on the ground so it's safe to say it: fall is finally here in Atlanta. Instead of running out to buy every possible fall staple, I've been trying to work with what I have. Or in other words, rework. 

This striped tank dress was from J.Crew two summers ago, and I love it it for warm days, but it's also a good element for fall layering. Luckily, navy is not tied to any one season, so it was an easy pair with chambray and a cargo jacket.

That said, I'm not completely cutting out all shopping, just repetitive shopping. I mean, who do you think I am? No shopping period is just not possible.

stripes & spotted serena

 It's Monday morning and you can't figure life out. What do you do? Stripes, girlfriend. You do stripes. 

Not that I needed another striped dress, but the vegan leather (okay, leatherette) pockets are a unique detail that made it worth adding to my collection. Oh, and the fact that it's only $15. 

Fiore Boutique was lovely enough to send this "Spotted Serena Shift Dress" on over, but for under $20 let's be real, I would've bought it anyway. I also have a handy coupon code, LULU10, to save you 10% off. How's that for a Monday morning pick-me-up?
