The ditsy mixed prints, lace and tiered ruffle design of this dress take me back to old world days of modest femininity. Gracious, that sentence was jam packed! Just like this dress.
Let me break it down.
Ditsy prints are a small scale all-over pattern that's random and most often floral.
Ribbons of wide lace frame the panels/tiers of complimentary prints.
Feminine construction in a midi ruffled hem, v-neck with covered buttons and slightly volumed bracelet length sleeve keep it modest.
Note: this sleeve length is a favorite as I am petite but it also allows for easy movement of the wrists/hands (let's face it we're all on computers), showcases jewelry hence the name, and elongates the arm highlighting the smallest area, the wrist.
This dress has an modern boho meets 'Little House on the Prairie' vibe. Anyone else grow up watching that show and reading the books??
It's a great piece to transition into the Fall season as the fabric is light enough for the lingering warm days but styled with a jacket and booties is perfectly comfortable when the chill arrives.
I styled it with a pair of comfy clogs that are making a huge comeback. While they might not be the most elegant of styles, they sure are comfortable! Sometimes practicality trumps. My suggestion is to pair pretty pieces with the casual ones so that you're still put together while maintaining function. I have to admit, I'm grateful for the sneakers with dresses trend!
Dress Beautifully in an Old World Style
XOXO Sarah-Louise
