A Spring Party Dress

Houston blogger shares spring outfit inspiration in a black and white off the shoulder dress with a Cult Gaia bamboo bag.

When it comes to fashion, dresses are my number one weakness. (Closely followed by shoes!) There’s nothing better than a spring dress on a sunny day with a glass of rosé in hand, am I right? Spring is a time of year where people get out of hibernation and parties start popping up all over. Whether it’s baby showers, bridal showers, Easter brunches or dinner parties, there are countless excuses to pull a spring party dress out of your closet like this one during the season.

Shop the Look:

This black & white embroidered off the shoulder dress is a new arrival from Rent the Runway. I was a member of their Unlimted Program before baby and I had such fun rotating out different dresses on the regular. All of their new pieces for spring have me swooning all over again and I’m definitely considering a membership again. If you have quite a few events on your horizon, the $150 a month price tag doesn’t seem bad at all – especially considering the number of rentals you can get for the price! I paired this neutral dress with bold statement earrings from Alejandra Aspillaga, the bamboo handbag of the season and my cork Elaine Turner heels (which are incredibly comfortable BTW!)

While I haven’t been getting out as much as I used to (nights at home with Annie are my #1 right now!) I have a few fun events on my horizon that I’m really excited to get all dressed up for. One of them being Easter Sunday! We’re staying here in Houston this year and *weather permitting* I’m planning on hosting an outdoor brunch. Country ham, eggs & mimosas on the patio sounds like a fun afternoon to me! I’ll probably wear a dress similar to this one and I can’t wait to get Annie all dressed up too! I feel like Easter is the one day you can go ALL out when it comes to little girl’s dresses. Let the search begin!

As always, thanks for stopping by the blog!
