I can only say this because I live in a place where seasons don’t really exist, but doesn’t spring feel like the longest season? I am not complaining, of course, because spring is my very favorite. But when I think about my window of time to wear light jackets and pretty dresses, it’s actually a lot longer than most of the other seasons I tolerate. (Fall, you’re fine but also the shortest of them all. Winter — you know I hate you.) But here is why I am all about the longest spring — dresses, dresses, dresses. Some like the beautiful weather of spring. Me? Nah, I like the fact that I can wear dresses all day, every day. Floral dresses, short dresses, long dresses. I will wear them all. With jackets, without jackets — the sky is the limit.
I actually found this Ted Baker dress a few months ago and bought it on the spot. I had it in mind for an event and then on the day of the event, I went with something completely different. I’m the worst like that. Not even my own mind can keep myself from changing my mind. But fear not, this dress hasn’t been sitting alone in my closet because I’ve loved pairing it with this jacket, my trench and of course my old standby — the denim jacket. It works with them all. I love the fit and flare silhouette too, because of how universally flattering it is. And in the spirit of spring, dresses and the fact that everyone needs a good fit & flare dress, I’ve found a few of my favorites at Nordstrom below!
So when some people think spring, I’m sure green trees and blooming flowers come to mind. For me? I start calculating how many dresses I can wear in the next 100 hundred days. Nature was never my forte.
(PS: this trench jacket is sold out but I found a very close look alike here!)

Your dress is super adorable!!!! In Chicago spring feels like the shortest season – we’re in puffer coats one day and shorts the next.

The fabric on your jacket is very flowy, it reminds me of blouse. It’s not trench coaty at all. It compliments the dress so well, brava!
Love how you paired the dress with the trench! Also, those Stuart Weitzmans… I tried those on and could not walk in them. Kudos to you for being able to walk in them and make them look so good!
Love these colors and the outfit!!

love your looks, every season… always inspired! I was wondering about your stuart weitzman sandals, do they just look sexy or are they somewhat comfortable as well?
Beautiful dress and I love the whole look 🙂

You can always count on Ted Baker for the most beautiful dresses. This would be perfect for wedding season too. And I know how you feel about the seasons, we don’t have any in London either! x

Ditto what Kristina says – in Ontario Spring is mostly cold and rainy. Can’t count on wearing bare legs…
This is so pretty Kendi! I love the fit and flair silhouette and the pretty floral pattern. The perfect spring dress for sure!
