Streamlined Chic: Dress up your spring!

I have given up shopping for lent, but that doesn't mean I can't look for fashionable finds for you, correct? Well, I have been looking at Anthropologie lately and right now they are ON FIRE with amazingly cute clothing.

Every woman needs a nice spring/summer dress. You never know when you will need one, and now is the time to look. Don't wait until you absolutely need a dress to shop for one. Doing so usually results in a dress you only half like, and is only half flattering on you. It is better to spend $200 on a dress you LOVE and will wear every chance you get, than spend $75 on a so-so dress you'll only wear once. That's called "cost-per-wear" math!

Here are my favorite dresses from Anthro, and a beautiful accessory that I just HAD to include. The Isabel Faux Wrap dress is made of jersey, therefore it is super comfortable and will pack well. You can throw a jean jacket over it for a casual look, or a cardigan and heels for a dressier look. This dress is extremely versatile and a great price.

The Kingston Road dress is just fun with its' stripes and candy colors. It makes me smile! Wear it with wedges and you are good to go!

The Panther's Play dress is pricey, but wow what a dress! If you look good in strapless dresses, consider trying this one on. Animals prints are always in style when done correctly. This dress has a subtle animal print, mixed with yellows and soft pink. It is sublime, and the fact that it is made by Leifsdottir, one of my favorite designers, is just icing on the cake!

The On the Rocks bracelet is just GORGEOUS. Every woman needs one statement piece in their jewelry collection and this bracelet will enhance and elevate any dress. Hey, mother's day is coming! Hint, hint to your man!!!
