The Blue Dress

next
Caroline G giveaway
A simple, classic summer dress is a must have in my book.

Dress: Banana Republic Outlet (similar, similar, similar)
Jewelry: Watch, Target; Necklace, Elisabeth Ashlie; Bangle, Sak’s off 5th
Wedges: Gap Outlet(similar)
Bag: Kate Spade Outlet, winter 2011
This blue dress does something when you put it on. It gives confidence and comfort. It’s the kind of dress that doesn’t require any other clothing items, like a camisole underneath. Or a sweater. Although spanx aren’t a bad idea. Just trust me on that one.
I love the vibrant color, and the fact that it has sleeves. I love a dress with sleeves
Mixed with wedges and a creamy white bag–it’s perfect for a summer day.
Keep the jewelry simple, especially around the neckline. I wore a delicate necklace, that I made. You can find them here.

Love the look; love your blog! Suggestion: to change it up, swap out matching belt with a fun thick or even a skinny belt in an unexpected pop of color.

Kate I love your blog and your style but I have to say… The “similar” options are not similar at all. I want this dress so bad.

I tried as hard as I could! Wish I had found closer options as well.

I tried this dress on, and wanted sooo badly for it to be flattering… let’s just say, it was meant for you (and not me!) 🙂

I’m completely in love with blue & off-white this season 🙂 Very cute outfit!

I am sitting at my desk in a simple, black dress, almost identical to yours but with shorter sleeves, LOVE IT. Just like you said, I feel dressier, feminine and cool, as in temperature 🙂 You look lovely in the blue !

I so love this dress! I need to remember how blue brings out the blue in my eyes – I always go safe with black or brown:) Thanks for the inspiration, and as always, you are beautiful!

Be sure to send your correct measurements to the makers because they are so detailed. My dress fits so well and I was reluctant to take it off after the fitting.

Blue floral dresses are so pretty! The pops of floral are always so nice to see. You look great in this dress Tina and great pick! I have been to Seattle but at the time never heard of the Tulip fields so I totally missed it because it was about this time when I went. I do have it on my travel bucket list now that I am intrigued and seeing it. I hope you are having a great week so far!
