But spring fashion is much more bright and colorful, not to mention light and breezy. \u00a0When spring styles start hitting the stores, I start thinking sunshine and tropical vacations. \u00a0It literally makes me FEEL good, like a breath of fresh air. \u00a0Speaking of air, blue is a major color story this spring, and it&#8217;s an especially popular color for dresses (mostly lighter shades or subtle stripes). \u00a0Unfortunately for my wallet, I have a thing for blue dresses. I won&#8217;t even tell you how many I own in various iterations, however I didn&#8217;t own a lace version until now. \u00a0I&#8217;ve seen multiple takes on the blue lace dress this spring, and <a href=\"http:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/crN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this particular dress<\/a> was the right style at the right price. \u00a0I wore it for Easter brunch last month, but it could easily be worn for a Mother&#8217;s Day event or\u00a0a\u00a0spring\/summer wedding.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3282\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/dsc04958.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04958\" width=\"3205\" height=\"4825\" \/><!--more--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3279\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/dsc04923.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04923\" width=\"3264\" height=\"4912\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3283\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/dsc04965.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04965\" width=\"3190\" height=\"4801\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3278\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/dsc04918.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04918\" width=\"4779\" height=\"3176\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3280\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/dsc04929.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04929\" width=\"3214\" height=\"4836\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3281\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/dsc04937.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04937\" width=\"3264\" height=\"4912\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3284\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/dsc04972.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04972\" width=\"3007\" height=\"4525\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">I knew right away that I&#8217;d wear this dress with my favorite pair of pointed-toe pumps by Sam Edeleman. Unfortunately the shoes are from a few seasons back, so I can&#8217;t link to the exact style, <a href=\"http:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/cqN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">but here&#8217;s a similar option<\/a>.\u00a0 I also love the way the color of the dress plays with these beautiful\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/cqg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kendra Scott earrings<\/a>\u00a0(bonus they&#8217;re on sale right now)! I kept it interesting with a metallic lip to add a bit of edge. \u00a0The lipstick is <a href=\"http:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/crp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lime Crime&#8217;s metallic velvetine in &#8220;mercury&#8221;<\/a>. I&#8217;m obsessed with Lime Crime&#8217;s velvetine line because the (liquid) lipstick is easy to apply and once it sets it won&#8217;t budge. \u00a0Plus the colors are not something you see everyday. \u00a0I personally love this look and hope to wear it again soon in some variation. You can buy this <a href=\"http:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/crN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">beautiful dress<\/a> via Nordstrom, which is awesome because they offer free shipping and free return shipping (or easy returns in store)!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3355\" src=\"https:\/\/stylesexandsou.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blue-dress-collage1.png\" alt=\"blue dress collage\" width=\"1187\" height=\"782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blue-dress-collage1.png 1187w, https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blue-dress-collage1-300x198.png 300w, https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blue-dress-collage1-1024x675.png 1024w, https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blue-dress-collage1-768x506.png 768w, https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blue-dress-collage1-500x329.png 500w, https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blue-dress-collage1-800x527.png 800w, https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/blue-dress-collage1-600x395.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1187px) 100vw, 1187px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Or check out one of these alternate options (from left to right):\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/cqz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">H&amp;M<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/9R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vero Moda<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/cqE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Self Portrait <\/a>\/ <a href=\"http:\/\/shopstyle.it\/l\/cqG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Express<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>Photography by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/purelyjessica.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jessica Kircher<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is easily my favorite season. \u00a0The weather warms, flowers bloom, and fashion gets fun! \u00a0Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8211; I love fall fashion with its chunky sweaters, tailored coats, and boots galore.
