Day 9 of April is here and I’m still trying to cope with the fact that spring has somehow snuck up on us all. Instead of wallowing the death of winter, I decided to celebrate the coming of the warmer season by styling some adorable, spring-inspired dresses paired with some blooming, handmade flower crowns to really channel the spirit of this flowering season!
Since spring is a transitional season that still has its cool days, I added additional layers to each outfit that not only serve to add some extra warmth, but also add some fun details that make the looks truly precious and perfect for celebrating a season so full of life and youth!
Bring your soul back to life by checking out my outfits below:
Porcelain Pink
I really went for that porcelain doll look in this coral pink, linen dress layered over a sheer, blush pink shirt with long sleeves and a frilly, lacy collar that reminds me of a vintage doily (who says grandma chic isn’t a thing?). I added a bit of eclectic fun with a pair of glittery sock boots that are just so much fun to wear!
Pink Dress & Lace-Collared Shirt: Thrifted from Buffalo Exchange. Sparkly Boots: Asos.
Little Forest Scout
The preppy, scout look has always deeply appealed to my girlish sense of style, so I really went for that vibe with this sage green dress layered over an oversized, long-sleeved blouse with a charming neck bow. For finishing touches I added beige knee socks, white platforms for some sass, and an absolutely adorable My Neighbor Totoro watering can that I’m currently obsessed with and happened to perfectly match my getup.
Green Dress: H&M. Blouse With Neck Bow: Thrifted from Goodwill. Derek Lam Platforms: Thrifted from Buffalo Exchange.
Light and Airy Pleats
For extra warm and sunny days, a light-as-air dress with all-over micropleats will do just the trick! I love the soft blue color that pairs so well with the off white of the platform sneakers and lovely, lace collar that peeks out the top and adds a bit of fancy detail. And this flower crown is one of my all time favorites that I’ve ever made! Little leaf ears- so cute!
Pleated Dress: Oak & Fort. Sheer Shirt with High Collar: Forever21. Platform Sneakers: Converse.
Spring Sailor
Again, my little, preppy heart skipped a beat when I saw this chambray, sailor-inspired dress. I love the square bib and the drop-waist skirt, which both add to the playful, girly vibe of the dress, which is so swishy and light, that it’s perfect for a spring day! I layered it over a sheer, collared shirt with a cute heart pattern just for a bit more detail, and finished the look off with some black sock boots for a modern, stylish touch.
Sailor Dress: Urban Outfitters. Sheer Heart Shirt with Collar & Sock Boots: Forever21.
I’m telling you guys, spring is definitely dress season, so it’s time to pack your wardrobe full of a bunch of super cute options! And if they work well as layering pieces, that’s even better!
Also, making flower crowns is one of my favorite hobbies, so if you like what you see and think you would like to buy one, let me know and I’ll think of putting some up for sale! Until next time~~
