Wedding Belles

Wedding Season is upon us!  That means putting on your party shoes and getting the chance to wear one (or more) of the amazing dresses out there this spring/summer.  It’s a chance to visit with friends and family you may not get to see often, so of course you want to look your best.  Knowing where to start can often prove to be a challenge.  Here are some of our favorite shapes, silhouettes and details this year!

::Favorite Fresh Details::

Open back . Cut Out . Lace . Patterns . Midi Length

::FLORALS::

Large scale floral prints are making a big statement across all silhouettes this year.  We love the fresh patterns for a summery, feminine feel.  Pair with metallic or nude strappy heels.

::SLEEK & FITTED::

Above the knee or the new midi length; strapless, sheath or shift.  A classic fit to show off your shape.  Try in a graphic print or with a feminine open back.

::SWINGY SLIP DRESS::

A light and airy feel for summer and a nod to the 70’s vibe we’re seeing so much this spring.  Go for a shorter length and show off those stems!

::FIT & FLARE::

A flattering shape across all figures!  It gives that hour glass shape.

::JUMPSUITS::

We’re going crazy for all of the amazing jumpsuits out there this season.  Why not mix things up and choose one over a dress?!  With gorgeous details like open backs and plunging necklines, pair with a sleek heel and statement earrings and you are sure to wow.

::MATCHING SEPARATES::

Another look worthy of a second glance this season is the “2 piece dress” or “matching separates”.  Most have a high waisted skirt paired with a slightly cropped top to give a peek of the midriff, but if you’re not quite comfortable showing skin, there are “faux” options too!  A fun fresh alternative to a traditional dress.  Go simple with accessories and shoes and let the top and skirt make the statement.

::MAXI::

Always a summer fav, the boho, goddess vibe feels right on this season.  Try a plunging neckline or be sure there is waist detail to give you shape.  You can try a full length, full-bodied skirt as an alternative to give you the same feel!

ReDress’ Favorite Things…Spring ’15

It’s that time of year, where all we can think about is what we’ll be wearing all spring and summer long!  We’ve rounded up our favorite things – what we hope will be in constant rotation for the next few months.

 

When we’re looking to add to our wardrobes, it’s helpful for us to have a plan as to what we want to buy.  So first we’ll start with our closets and ask ourselves the following questions:

1.  What is missing?  Are there any trends that we love that we don’t have yet?

2.  What needs updated?  Any classics that have become worn and could use replacing?

3.  What did we love wearing last year?  Anything we wish we had more of?

 

Then we’ll shop around in person and online to see if we can find items to fill in the categories we’ve come up with.  But before we buy, we make sure that:

1.  It is versatile (easily dressed up or down!)

2.  It goes with more than one thing in our closet – no impulse buys here, we want to wear our clothes!

3.  We love it!

 

We go through all of these questions *and more* with you during our Closet Clean-Up…so if you need some help (or a new opinion/eye looking for you!), let us know and we’ll get you on our schedule!

SO…here is what we have found that we love and will wear the most this spring and summer!

 

Cara’s Favorite Things:

I’m going for classic comfort with some femininity this spring and summer.  Pieces that are light and airy – pastels, lace, crochet, lots of white…and anything that is versatile and effortless.  I’ll play up my accessories and incorporate trends like tassels, fringe, and pom poms in statement pieces.  I’m envisioning long summer days, and these pieces will easily take me from the pool to drinks on the patio!

Angela’s Favorite Things:

I’m loving the boho-chic vibe of all of the 70’s inspired pieces with swingy silhouettes, large floral prints, and fringe details mixed with a little metallic glam. Distressed denim is a go-to mixed with super feminine flowy tops. Can’t forget a great outerwear piece for rainy spring days!

Spring ’15 Trend: Tribal

Our next Spring ’15 trend is Tribal. Think of this as geometric prints and earthy materials.  We love how boho and natural it all feels!  You can again find it across all categories: from apparel to accessories to shoes.  The bold colors and patterns are versatile and we can see them carrying you all the way into next fall!
