I found the cutest red, white and blue dresses just in time for Memorial Day Weekend and Fourth of July later this summer. Plus everything is 40% off!

White Pleated Dress (also comes in navy) / White Poplin Dress / Blue Striped Dress (also comes in navy leopard) / Red Pleated Maxi Dress

Quick size reference: I’m 5’2″, 115 pounds, 32A, and 26″ waist. I usually wear a size 0/2 or XS (regular or petite depending on the length of the item).

White Pleated Dress (also comes in navy with cobalt stripes)

I think this is such a fun take on a white dress and I swear this photo doesn’t do this dress justice. The red is super bright and vivid and so is the bold sky blue. It’s not a color combo you see very often and it just makes me so happy! I’m wearing a 0 here. It’s a little loose in the chest area, but it does have adjustable straps!

Red Pleated Maxi Dress

I have three words to describe this red pleated dress: va va voom! It’s the same shade of fire engine red in the last dress, but all over and man is it a show stopper! I love that the simple neckline lets the color and the pleats do all the talking. I’m wearing a 2 here and wearing 2″ inch heels and the hem floats perfectly above the ground.

White Poplin Dress

It’s safe to say I’ve never met a summery white dress that I didn’t like and this one might be my favorite one yet. It’s a poplin material, so it feels like a nice crisp white shirt – but in dress form! The empire waistline makes this non-maternity dress pretty bump friendly and I love that it has pockets too! You can’t tell from this picture, but it has a bow in the back as well. I’m wearing a size 0.

Blue Striped Dress (also comes in navy leopard)

I wore this pink floral dropwaist dress from Banana earlier this spring and it made me fall in love with the silhouette all over again. I like that this dress is a bit more of a structured fabric, but still stretchy. The diagonal stripe along both sides of the waist make this dress super flattering! I’m wearing a size 0, which felt a little tight around the hips, but otherwise perfectly form fitting!

Spring Outfit Idea / Cropped Trench Coat & Floral Blouse

Today, I’m sharing a quick haul of some oh so good pieces from Ann Taylor because it’s 50% off right now and an extra 60% off sale!

For sizing reference, I’m 5’2”, 115 pounds, 32A and 26” waist. I typically wear a size 0/2, 26, XS or XSP (depending on the silhouette and length). I also wear 6.5 in shoes.

Cropped Trench Coat (also comes in pink) / Floral Blouse (also comes in cream, peach and plaid) / High Waisted Skinny Jeans / Tortoise Ankle Strap Block Heel (also comes in black)

First up – I can’t say enough good things about this cropped trench coat. Since I’m on the petite size, I sometimes find that full-length trenches make me look little girl trying to wear mom’s clothes. That’s why I’m obsessed with cropped outerwear for spring. I feel like it’s way more flattering, especially when paired with high-waisted jeans. The quality of this coat is phenomenal – it’s not stiff like your traditional trench coat. I’m wearing a 0P here.

Another favorite from this spring has been this navy floral blouse. You can’t see it in this photo, but the cuffs are actually beautifully pleated. It makes for such a cool detail to an otherwise basic blouse – I also own it in a solid off white color and have my eyes on this plaid print, which is an extra 60% off today! I’m wearing an XS here.

Lastly, I love a good ankle strap block heel sandal and when I saw the tortoise print and the gold heel, I knew these had to be mine (seriously considering getting the black ones as well). It’s patent leather, making it a bit more stiff than my usual leather heels, but is true to size and feels pretty comfortable so far.

Spring Style / Grey Sweater Dress & Loafers

Sweater Dress / Loafer Slides (also comes in light blue and tan suede)

The next is this super soft, light grey sweater dress. It’s a great transition piece as Mother Nature doesn’t feel fully committed for spring quite yet. I’m wearing an XSP. The dress is pretty form fitting, so I’d recommend wearing Spanx with it.

I’m also currently obsessing over these slide on loafers. I love a good mule – it just looks so much more modern and chic compared to their heel-covering counterparts. I think these off-white pair are perfect for spring, and they also comes in a very light blue and a tan suede version. FYI – the leather on this needs a little breaking in. The tops of my feet hurt the first I day I wore them, but were fine after a day or two.

How to Mix Prints for Spring / Floral & Stripes

Striped Bow Neck Top / Floral Pencil Skirt / Pink Bow Mules (also comes in black)

I’ve loved mixing prints since day one, and stripes and florals have always been my go-to combo. This green and white striped sleeveless top will be a great staple for spring. It’s great for work or for the weekend paired with skinny jeans. I’m wearing an XSP.

This floral skirt is another great piece to add to your work wardrobe. The print is beautiful and allows you to pair it back to so many colors. The best part is the pleated hemline – such a fun, feminine detail! I’m wearing a size 0 here.

And of course, the cherry on top are these suede bow heels. I’ll never say no to a well placed bow and I love how feminine this shade of pink is. It also comes in black which would be even more versatile and evergreen.

Spring Outfit Idea / Navy & White Stripe Moto Jacket

Striped Moto Jacket / Tie Front Top / High Waisted Skinny Jeans / Loafer Slides

Last one outfit to share is this navy and white striped moto jacket. Styling and surviving spring is all about have great outerwear that can keep you warm during the chilly mornings, but won’t overheat you by mid-afternoon. The navy and white combo is just so easy and will pair back to so many things in my closet. I’m wearing an XSP here.

Pink Bow Heels / Raffia Bow Heels / Spotted Pointed Mules / Brown Leather Mules / Cut Out Leather Mules / Tortoise Ankle Strap Heels / Brown Ankle Strap Sandals (not part of the sale, but only $19!)

Don’t forget you can get 50% off on everything I posted about today, plus an extra 60% off sale items! Happy shopping friends!
