It’s officially April and, if you’re in Central Illinois, we’re walking into this month looking forward to Sunny skies and highs of 75! Our wardrobe is adapting to the warmer weather and we’re dressing down in…yes, you guessed it…all of the flowy dresses, like a pink puff sleeve babydoll dress, as well as fun and breezy blouses like this basic, white puff sleeve blouse. And floral patterns, whether printed or embroidered, are most certainly a must for this spring!

When the weather gets warmer and the sun gets bluer, I really love finding an outfit that’s not only comfortable and easygoing, but also is dressy enough for me to wear when dealing with all aspects of my day-to-day life. From running errands to running to a photoshoot and onto my next meeting all right before picking my kid’s up from school, cool and comfy dresses and blouses are the mainstay of my spring attire.

Dresses have really started to take up space in my wardrobe. One of my favorite finds is this beautiful floral printed v-neck midi dress which really plays with all of the senses. But if patterns aren’t your preference, a simple white tie shoulder dress is also an easy-breezy piece to dress up with jewelry and a colorful cardigan, and wear out and about.

But patterns are really pulling out all of the stops this spring as we see more play with florals, like on this oh so colorful patchwork floral puff-sleeve top or this cute billowy sleeve festival top. You can also add a gingham check-patterned midi dress or blouse to your closet if you want to play with a pattern other than florals.

Embroidered pieces can also be really fun to add to your spring style because they not only let you experiment with patterns, but textures as well. I love the embroidery on this white v-neck dress, this gorgeous blue and white floral blouse, and this springy white ruffle sleeve blouse.

And, since you already know my love for all things blue, I’ve found various blue dresses that can help inspire so many diverse looks! This blue marigold floral printed dress along with this classic blue and white striped Victoria-styled dress are two new maxi-dress favorites of mine. And this light and flowy pastel blue knee-length dress is perfect for those warmer spring days at the pool or the beach.

Add a little bit of color and texture to your outfit from toe-to-head with a pair of pastel pink suede wicker-wrapped heeled sandals or pink flat leather slide sandals, or even play up your dressed down look with a pearl studded ring.

End your day in a blue heart-printed sleep set that’s perfect for spring and summer nights, and wake up and do it all over again! And, if you need more inspiration when planning out your next day’s outfit check out my Favorite Spring Fashion Must-Haves!
