From My Closet to Theirs: Spring Prints and Accessories
La Maregold Dress, For Love & Lemons Headscarf, Marigold Skirt, and Amazon Sunglasses on Goldie
Getting dressed lately has become a bit of a two-step process. I’ll pull something on, and within minutes one of my daughters is right there—“I want one like that.” Then the other follows. Before I know it, we’re all getting dressed off the same idea. Same direction, just smaller, a little brighter, and with their own spin on it. It’s made me realize how much the pieces I’m reaching for right now translate across all of us.
Headscarves, On Repeat
This has been the standout. I’ve been wearing lightweight scarves constantly—crochet, soft cotton, slightly vintage prints—and now they both want their own. Tied under the chin, worn like a headband, or slightly falling off by mid-morning. It works every time.
Easy Dresses with Shape
Loose, airy dresses have been my default—like that green polka dot one with a bit of volume through the sleeve. It’s easy, but still feels like something. They’ve naturally gone for the same idea: simple dresses with smocking, puff sleeves, or a soft A-line shape that moves.
Spring Prints I Keep Reaching For
Polka dots, soft florals, a subtle plaid—these have been in constant rotation. They show up across everything, from dresses to skirts, and always feel right this time of year.
The Extras They Always Go For
– Beaded sandals (colorful, always)
– Little embroidered or drawstring bags
– Fun sunglasses that feel slightly retro

Barefoot in Bloom
Outfit Details: Julia Amory Dress, SPRWMN Bikini, Janessa Leone Hat, Amazon Sunglasses
Florals look different by the water than they do at a garden party. They get brighter, looser, sunnier — the kind of blooms that belong with bare feet and salt air. They show up embroidered on a caftan, covering a swimsuit, or crawling up a linen matching set.
I like to keep the styling light from there, leaning on pieces with natural texture to compliment the print or motif. A woven bag, a flat sandal, a piece of shell jewelry, an easy hair accessory.
It’s floral dressing with more freedom, made for sun-filled plans built around color, texture, and bare feet.

Retro Twist on Summer Dressing
Pucci Dress, Dries Van Noten Heels, Chanel Bag, Deszo Necklace
I’ve found myself naturally gravitating toward the glamour of 60s and 70s resort dressing, when vacation style felt more expressive and playful, tied to a more carefree way of getting dressed. Catching my eye are pieces with a retro twist that feels like a wink, not a full costume: Pucci-inspired prints and Etro-style paisleys, alongside crochet florals, boldly colored beads, and modular accessories. Together they channel that effortless allure in a way that feels nostalgic but still current, adding just enough character to make summer dressing more memorable.

Wedding Guest Dresses for a Tropical Setting
Outfit Details:
Rosie Assoulin Dress, Ferragamo Heels, Cordera Bag
Dressing for a tropical wedding weekend is its own kind of search. The right dress doesn’t always show up right away — it has to feel special enough to fit amongst the setting, joyful enough to honor the celebration, and light enough to actually work in the heat. A few different things have to land at once, and it’s worth taking the time to get them all right.
These are the guest dresses catching my eye for weekends where the backdrop is palm trees, sunset skies, and the sound of the ocean. Sunny yellows, citron sequins, shades of ocean blue, and sunset hues all feel right here. Printed silks and sheer capes earn their place too, elegant and considered without the weight of something that would leave you overheated by the first toast.
The best options feel polished enough for a special occasion while still holding onto that joyful, easy feeling a tropical destination naturally invokes.
