Spring and summer dresses and accessories
I don’t know about you, but I always feel like refreshing a few things come spring and summer. It starts with wanting a haircut (still on my to-do list), organizing my closet, looking for inspiration, adding a few new items, etc. While last year, I was feeling somewhat uninspired, this year it feels like I’m full steam ahead. I have found many great things, and my wish list is only expanding. Don’t be fooled — I also have a secret wish list of items I think will sell out, so I try to keep quiet until I secure them. Case in point with this dress I’ve dreamed of for months, and finally purchased. Oh, I can’t wait to receive it. Note: I find it to be TTS — yes, I actually tried it on.
Do I always get to purchase everything on my wish list? Obviously not, but one can dream…
If you’re also looking to refresh your wardrobe, I’ve put together a roundup of dresses (including wedding guest dresses), earrings necklaces, and bags to switch things up this season. I hope you like them!
SPRING AND SUMMER EARRINGS
Earrings are the first accessory I reach for when dressing. Heck, I sometimes choose my outfits based on the earrings I feel like wearing. Needless to say, there’s always another pair of earrings on my “radar”. And wow, are there many styles out there, one more beautiful than the other… Here are a few that I’d love to add to my collection (or already have):
I actually have earrings similar to these and they’re so darling! They come in gold and silver and I think they’d pair well with this dress.
These double starfish drop earrings scream summer and vacation.
These pearl and shell earrings are also so cute and perfect for the upcoming season (+ vacation time!).
These clamshell earrings are so chic!
These nautical pearl earrings are elegant and fun!
These pearl earrings are gorgeous as well. I would happily wear them with this textured dress. Though these would work just as well with the said dress!
These round pearl stud earrings remind me of a vintage pair I own (second photo in this post). They’re so chic! These are of similar style but less “pearly”.
Here’s another pair that looks vintage and oh-so-elegant!
These bow earrings are absolutely adorable!
SPRING AND SUMMER NECKLACES
I have made myself a promise to wear necklaces as much as I wear earrings. I’ve been keeping my promise, and I have to say that my necklace collections expanded exponentially this past year. Mostly I’ve been purchasing pearl necklaces of all variations (huge pearls fan here), but there are plenty more catching my eye:
This simple layered pearl necklace is beautiful in its simplicity!
This flat link necklace is so pretty!
This pearl paperclip necklace is gorgeous!
I love this semi-precious stone lariat necklace! It comes in blue and green.
This mixed paperclip and semi-precious stone is surprisingly elegant!
EVERY DAY, WORK, AND VACATION DRESSES
It’s dress season, that’s indisputable. As always, spring and summer bring a variety of styles and fabrics. Here’s what I’m looking at when it comes to spring and summer dresses:
This dress is beyond darling (plus, it has pockets).
This dress is a total showstopper! And perfect for a vacation!
This embroidered cotton dress is all about spring and summer!
This striped shirt dress is very similar to the one I have.
I have to say that I love this one-shoulder dress! It’s playful and yet, classy.
OCCASION/FORMAL DRESSES
With the warm season upon us, events are also popping up left and right. If you’re looking for occasion wear, here are some ideas that should get you through:
Do you have a wedding to attend this season? Here’s a dress that’s perfect for the occasion.
This one is another great option for a formal event (and this one, of course).
If you want to be the eyes of the party, may I suggest this dress? It’s drop-dead gorgeous!
SPRING AND SUMMER BAGS
The warm season brings a desire to switch up our bags as well. Straw, raffia, and even wicker are clearly the favorites… Here’s what caught my eye in this department…
This rattan clutch is so chic!
This straw clutch is beautiful!
This metallic straw clutch is great for any event!
This black and white knotted raffia bag is so cute!
This carrycot straw bag is great for spring and summer.
