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

Adorable blue dress…love the necklace too!
pretty!! is that a cute little tattoo on your ankle?
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.
No…they’re not similar, but they are very cute also! Do you own any of them?
I think the middle option is pretty similar..just without the collar..

TO DIE FOR!!!

Here is a very similar look and a great price too!
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!
cute! i need some wedges like these!
Love this outfit!
You must not sweat hardly…i unfortunately =( could never pull of this outfit because there would be puddles lol.
However i can still appreciate the cuteness and AWESOMENESS that it is. 🙂
Thanks for sharing the look.
You look really pretty in this color!
This color looks gorgeous on you! Love, love, love your hair tutorials by the way 🙂
Super pretty colour! I love pieces of clothing like that – when you feel instantly confident when you put it on 🙂
Love this look! And your blog!
Very cute dress, I also love a dress with sleeves that doesn’t require anything “extra” to make it work!
I found this exact dress on Ebay yesterday but sadly the only one I found was in a size 0 🙁
Blue is definitely your color- you look gorgeous in it!
Here is a better “similar” for you to share!

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.

Thanks a lot for sharing this side with us.
Really like these kinds of steam showers
I love blue dress, always, because it does not require any other clothing when i have blue dress on me. My Hotel logo was also in blue, which is in NYC. any ways you are lookig too good in blue,
Blue also represent self confidence. according to sign.
Very nice. I love Lipstick. So I need this. 🙂
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!
