Red Lillypad Strapless Dress
First to recommend
Description
Red is such a vibrant color! And red really is one of my favorite colors year round, but especially in spring. I think it's reminiscent of poppies and that might be why I might be so enamored of it. This long red strapless dress with a gigantic white floral pattern is a stunner in the spring or in the summer. But I think I'd like it best by the side of a pool.

Black and White Poppy Field Dress
First to recommend
Description
This reminds me of something Blair Waldorf would wear (yes, I adore Gossip Girl). And who could blame me? Who wouldn't want to wear Blair's amazing fashion sense, elegant, old school and seemingly vintage, it's nice to see clothes being appreciated for being clothes. The cut reminds me immensely of the the white eyelet dress from early in the season. The black and white poppy fields feel very mod--and also, very spring.

Spring Garden Sheath Dress
First to recommend
Description
I was such a geek in high school (still am now, but that's another story). This dress reminds me of a greek chiton. Just like I used to wear to the annual classics banquet (yes, as in latin and greek). From it's very unstructured feel to the ribbon wrapping around the middle, this short little mini dress looks like it's built for a greek goddess. Perhaps Demeter with all the abundance?

Rose Babydoll Dress

Description
And the yellow rose of texas....oops! I'm supposed to be talking about a dress. This particular yellow rose dress that caught my eye. It's so bright and spring-y, plus with the rose itself it's oh so fun! Yellow is always such a spring-y color. Baby birds, baby eggs and now you, baby. ;-)

Milly Senorita Strappy Dress
First to recommend
Description
In the winter I prefer the highly structured dark skirt, starched blouse, tights (wolford if I'm lucky) and heels. It's a very severe look, but also a very fitting look. I feel professional and snappy. Come spring and summer though, I'm all about the lighter than air sundresses. aired with strappy sandals on a casual weekend it makes dressing easy and fun again. Plus, it's so fun to be feminine.
I love the cut on this dress, the layers on the dress and the bright and yet pastel colors (hello orange! I love you).

KAREN ZAMBOS St. Bart's Dress

Description
I think something about spring serves to bring us back to that childlike time of wonder and that childlike appreciation of colors. I never wear so bright and primary of colors as I do when it's the first blush of spring. Something like this Karen Zambos mini dress. It's bright and in primary colors (red and blue). But rather than looking like superman, it looks fun and festive (and like it should be colored in with crayons).
I'd love this dress over a pair of jeans that fight off spring's lingering chill.

VOOM Rose Top

Description
Remember that scene in '13 going on 30'? The line "flirty and thirty" reminds me of this top. The thing is though that everyone deserves a good cute top. And this cream silk top with baby doll sensibilities and rose decoration definitely qualifies. Though it's silk, I'm thinking it's more casual. Maybe stovepipe jeans or a skinny pencil skirt. It needs something to balance the free flowing casual nature of the top.

"Crystal Gazing and Universe" Bracelet with Dark Grey Fashion Pearl and Blue Swarovski Crystal
First to recommend
Description
Cold silver, bright turquoise crystals and dark grey pearls...i adore this bracelet. I rewatched the gossip girl episode 'The Handmaiden's Tale' the other day and this bracelet just seems like it belongs over a glove at a masked ball. Even better though, this bracelet seems like it could handle the daily wear circuit too. I'm thinking maybe with a nice float-y spring shirt or with a smartly professional white button up shirt.

Description
So, when I first saw this dress I was reminded of those old curtains from the 80s. Normally I would have looked away. However, there was something about this dress, perhaps it was the belted waist or the design of the dress but I kept looking and the more I looked the more I liked. Maybe this 80s revival isn't as bad as I feared.

Pleated Dress w/Belt, Grey & Brown at at nicchia
First to recommend
Description
Everyone needs a dress. You know the one. A dress that makes you feel like you are a strong confident woman. This dress with it's strong lines, it's bold floral pattern and no nonsense belt isn't like the frilly frippery I normally prefer. Instead, this dress makes one thing you could take on the world.
