White floral dress with black boho accessories.
Why is this dress scary? It's floral and white, duh. I LOVE the dress. I love the color of the flowers. But I really only get the courage to wear it once a year, and always in the Spring. This year I decided to get very brave and add some VERY bold (for me) accessories to really make it pop! Take a look:
I added a thin black belt to define my waist, black butterfly wing gladiator sandals, my black floppy hat and my black fringed bag. I feel brave wearing this because i feel like it screams LOOK AT ME since the dress is white and floral and the shoes are black lace-up knee high gladiator sandals.
I was a bit unsure about the pairing, but when I added in the hat and bag, it just came together. It felt cohesive, purposeful, intentional and not at all like a costume. I also really love how the ladylike dress looks with the boho accessories. It totally changes the feel of the dress!
I love gladiator sandals. They zip up the back, but because the front laces are functional I can adjust them till they fit perfectly on my wider calves. Wide-calf shoe options that are cute are a bitch to find. So happy I discovered Windsor Store on instagram via Shanna from Because Shanna Said So. I also bought the black and white leopard print sneakers (she has the gold leopard print sneakers) as well as an American flag print scarf. Great prices! Give them a look.
You can tell I loved this outfit. I took a ton of photos!

I love the colors of your dress and that hat looks great on you!
I love the dress, the colors are so spring time, but not with the black accessories..I do however love the accessories too..Just not with the dress..I want to see the dress with a pair of spring sandals( I have some) ..And I wanna see you rock those accessories with a dirfferent skirt and top pairing...
Great way to edge up a pretty dress! And that tote - may need to check that out myself ...
Great look! I love it! I just love floral dresses too! I also love your sandals too!
If there's ever a time to wear a completely over the top floral dress, spring is totally THAT time!! I love the boho accessories with the classic and girly dress.
And that hat...you know it's a fave. Have you seen any new styles for spring at Target yet? I don't know if they can top this one!

The dress is beautiful! and those shoes are amazing :)
your dress is so pretty and spring-y! (:
I love this tote. I can fit my laptop in it plus all the cords!
Thank you Carissa. I can't wait to wear them with just shorts and a plain tee shirt. I feel like they will elevate anything I pair them with.
I did see their new stuff and couldn't find anything I love as much as this hat! If they made it in a different color perhaps...
Thanks Kacie! I actually need it taken in a bit. It's a little loos in the chest and waist since last year.
Thanks Yaundy. You don't think it's over the top?
Thanks Theresa! I love it. I only wish I had also gotten it in yellow when they had it.
Not at all, the print is gorgeous and it looks amazing on you :)
This pattern for me is dangerous because all I want to do is purchase it haha. You look wonderful and it looks amazing on you, also I need a pair of gladiator sandals, they are perfect.

You really need to wear this dress more often!! It's so pretty & love the colors!! Perfect for spring and summer!! I haven't jumped on the gladiator trend just yet, but loving the sandals you found!!
I love them too! I have so much stuff in my cart right now lol.
Thanks Ramona! I am wearing the sandals again right now!
I actually bought another pair that just wrap around the ankle vs.going up the calf and they're fun too, and less dramatic.
You look lovely! I love your shade of lipstick too!
