Self Portrait White Dress (c/0) / Aquazzura Black and White Sandals (c/o) / Givenchy Horizontal Mini Bag (c/o)*

As Iris Apfel famously said, “More is More.  Less is a Bore!”  That certainly applies to the Spring trend of Embellished Everything.  As you know, I’m by no means a minimalist dresser…I love a good cuff and I’m embracing color and print, but I tend toward clean lines because I’m 5′ 2″.  Not today!  I’m embracing the Embellished Everything trend with these fabulous Aquazzura embellished shoes and white mini with lace and ruffles.

I’m such a neutral shoe girl that I’ve forgotten how fun it is to wear a pair of conversation starters.  These Tropicana sandals remind me of a favorite pair of Christian LaCroix black and white sandals I had years ago.  The black and white is so fresh and as easily paired with a white dress as black jeans or a brightly colored dress.

Recently, a friend and I were talking about Self Portrait, the designer of this delicately detailed dress.  This designer is most well-known for this dress now available in many colors and for mixing of lace, textures and color.  I love the mix of lace, ruffle, smocking waist and tiny buttons on this sweet white dress.  My Givenchy mini bag is also part of this spring trend I shared here and here.

There are so many ways to wear the Embellished Everything trend from shoes including a fun pair of sandals, pearl embellished slides and this gorgeous heel to a perfectly embellished bag.  I love the shell detail and pom poms!

How will you wear this fun trend?  I’d love to know in the comments below!
