Milly Ruffle Dress / Givenchy Horizontal Nano Tote / YSL Tribute Sandals / Ippolita Teardrop Earrings

I hope you had a great weekend.  We returned from Spring Break in Sea Island and are settling back in…Why is re-entry so hard?  I’m so glad that it is officially spring and there are so many great events coming up.  One of my favorite spring trends is ruffles.  They are so feminine and add a so much to a simple shape.  This ruffle-front wrap dress is a great example.  It is simple and tailored but this gorgeous ruffle makes it truly a stand out!

My Ruffled Milly LBD would be perfect for a wedding, cocktail party, date night or luncheon.  It is so fun to wear and feels a bit Audrey Hepburn.  While we are talking fun…How darling is this Givenchy mini bag!?!?  I’m in LOVE!  I’ll be carrying it with dresses as well as a fun top and jeans.  It even has a cross body strap.  Mini bags are a big trend right now and I’ll be sharing more about those soon.  This Givenchy Nano Satchel is large enough for my iPhone 6 Plus so it’s small but still functional.  I’ve finished the look off with my favorite YLS Tribute Sandals, one of my investment staples.  They truly are so comfortable for a high heel.  They are great with dresses as well as jeans.

There are so many ways to wear ruffles this season.  We’ve all see the big ruffle sleeves, which are fun, but not for everyone.  This great top with lace and cascading ruffles is soft and feminine but not over powering.  This one shoulder top and cute ruffle top from this post is another great option without feeling over powered.  This off the shoulder ruffle top is perfect for spring and another great option without feeling over powered.  I love this navy mini floral by Rebecca Taylor with small ruffles on the shoulders, too. This Jonathan Simkhai white ruffle dress is perfect for Easter.  This See by Chloe dress is great if you want the trend but want to be more subtle.  If you are ready to go big, this Caroline Constas ruffle sleeve top is ah-mazing!  I wish I was a bit taller and could pull it off with skinny white jeans.

Here’s a little something to make our re-entry a bit easier…Many of my picks including the ruffle dress are $125 off your order of $500+ today only!  Use code MARCH at check out to get the discount.
