Happy summer dress season, friends!

After months of being on struggle mountain together, I’m finally busting out all my favorite spring pieces and putting away my winter wardrobe for good (fingers crossed!). I’m hoping this pretty weather is finally here to stay, and even though some showers are on the horizon, anything is better than snow these days. Please let there be no more snow Chicago!

While I’m so excited to bust out the dresses for spring, my dress game is not quite as strong as I wish it was. Even though I love sunny weather, I tend to gravitate towards skinny jeans and t-shirts most days – call it laziness, but we all have a staple look that always works, right? This spring, I’ve been trying to be a little more adventurous with my go-to outfits, and dresses are always easy to grab when I’m headed to work or adventuring around Chicago.  This past weekend, I adventured around Armitage Avenue with my friend Evalyn to soak in some sun while the weather was still gorgeous out. It was a day where I should have probably stayed in and caught up on work – but the idea of missing out on a sunny day in the city seemed too tough, especially after all the cruddy weather we’d been having.

I recently snagged this gorgeous Duffield Lane Holly Ruffle Dress in an attempt to add more comfy dresses to my spring wardrobe and I love that it’s made of the comfiest cotton, which will make it perfect for upcoming weekend getaways and adventures (hello packing friendly dresses!). I’m sure it will be on repeat all season long and I’m pretty sure my skinny jeans are happy to have a break this spring! Speaking of adventures – Evalyn and I just booked a trip to Austin Texas for Memorial Day! We both needed to spend some time out of the city, and we’re excited to explore Austin for the first time. If you happen to have any tips or recommendations, please let us know! We’re totally newbies, so any advice is much appreciated. Our current plans include eating as many street tacos as possible and exploring the Austin swimming holes. We’ll probably need a few more things to do during our 3 day stay 😉For more Duffield Lane goodies, make sure to follow them on Facebook and Instagram!
