My new favorite spring dress

I have been on a roll finding cute spring clothing items. My new favorite new spring dress is one of them! Actually I bought two of them because they were so inexpensive and so dang cute! They come in different prints and colors. I have always had a hard time finding dresses that I like because I am so short waisted and the dresses always fit weird on me. So when I tell you this is my new favorite dress you gotta believe me it is true!

Spring floral Dress

The background is kind of a creamy beige. I don’t normally go for beige but I loved all the other colors in the dress. Orange, black, green, red and a bit of gold. It is an all over print and really pretty. The colors of the dress could work great in any season not just as a spring dress. It is 100% rayon so it flows and twirls just the way you would want it to.

The fit of my new favorite spring dress

The best part about this dress is the fit! I am wearing a large and I did not have to alter it in any way. Some dresses have too much fabric in my upper torso so it bubbles around because of the shortness between my shoulders and waist. This dress fits my torso and with a v-neck creates a longer look. The v-neck is not too low either which is a miracle! The short sleeves are longer and can be scrunched up a bit…great for my grandma arms.

Love the buttons all down the front of the dress as this creates a longer leaner look. The elastic area around the midriff creates an illusion that I might have a waist! The length is great too because it looks good with flats, sandals or sneakers.

Styling my new spring dress

I love it when a dress can be worn casual or dressed up! First I decided to go casual with the dress and paired it with sneakers.

I see a lot of women in Italy wearing dresses with sneakers. I will be bringing this dress with me in May.

Then I added a white denim jacket, sunglasses and a straw bag. So cute and fun to wear strolling the streets in Italy don’t you think?

Funny thing…I thought this dress looked so familiar to me. Sure enough I was looking at photos from our last trip to Italy with some of my family and saw my daughter in the exact same dress!

So I guess we can be twinners now haha. Madeline wore it on a boat as a swimsuit cover up as well as strolling through the streets of Italy.

Dressing up

To dress up my new favorite spring dress I added my double breasted black jacket and some black kitten heels. This double breasted black blazer has been great for my wardrobe. I styled it many ways with leggings, pleated skirt, palazzo pants and my cheetah dress. Click on that link to see all the ways.

Isn’t it amazing how different the dress looks now just by changing out the jacket and shoes? I could wear this out to dinner, to the theater or to church.

Or how about a fun pop of red! I really like a fun show and these red flats that I have had for years look so cute with the dress! I have worn them in this outfit here.

Are you ready to find out where I bought the dress and how much I paid?

Ok here you go it is only $43.99!! On Amazon and I got it shipped in one day! I know amazing huh! It comes 33 different patterns and colors! Wait until you see the solid blue one that I bought.

Oh and P.S. the Blue one is only $33.00! I will write up the post for that dress later so you can see how adorable the dress looks in a solid color. So make sure to pop back over to see that post.

I may just have to buy one more or maybe two! hehehe

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

    • It really was weird that we found the same dress many months apart from each other. What are the chances? Thank you for you sweet comment.
