If there’s anything I love more than a comfortable dress for Spring, it’s…well, not much. I LOVE A COMFY DRESS. It’s simple…and I do simple like a mother f*kin’ boss. I like being able to just grab something easy, throw it on and pair it up with an equally effortless pair of shoes.
I saw this dress, which just so happened to be on sale at the time, and I hesitated for maybe 2 seconds – wasn’t sure if it would be the right length or if it would hang weird on me. The hesitation did not last (obviously), because here we are. I love it and I never want to take it off. At 5’10” it hits right below my knee, which I love. It’s lightweight, stretchy and soft enough to almost feel like loungewear (seriously) and it’s cute! Really cute.
The second part to this simple and comfortable duo is the footwear. S shared these Spring booties and I was all ooOoo, already being a big fan of Lucky Brand booties. I jumped right on it and ordered them to try on. I pictured myself wearing them with lightweight, warm-weather dresses, cut-off shorts and any number of FP harem pants…and ya know what? They totally work it all for me. YASSS.
I guess I’ll just go ahead and make it super official now. This is currently my #1 Spring Momiform. Woo! Psst. I will be adding a couple more the next couple of months, so be on the look-out.
outfit details
dress: J.Crew Sleeveless Henley Stripe Midi Dress (wearing size Small, TTS) – classic, lightweight dress in an easy knit fabric. My new favorite everyday dress (if you haven’t gathered that yet). If you don’t see your size, check Nordstrom!
shoes: Lucky Brand Felixah Bootie (wearing size 9.5, Fog Fabric, TTS) – I like these. A lot. S says they cut in at her ankle in a weird spot and since she walks everywhere, she just couldn’t handle that. Now, I have noticed that they do hit my ankle in an odd spot, but they don’t bother me. It may be because I primarily drive everywhere and am not walking in them for hours upon hours. All that said, they are worth trying on.

shades: AE Pink Oversized Sunglasses – awesome, cheap pair of sunglasses.
bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian Backpack (medium, navy leather) – the one I linked to is not the exact one I’m carrying, but its the closest to it I could find. I carry mine at least 5x/week. I held off on it, but it is now an essential…definitely worth the mula. I really love the navy color, but could also see this look with the lovely putty color. Oh yes. Come to mama.
bracelets: Praxis Jewelry Personalized Silver Cuffs – this was a Christmas present from my husband a couple of years back. I have three and each one has the first and middle name of one of our children on them. I cherish them.
I’ve gotta blow bubbles more often. That shiz was fun!

Do the buttons actually unbutton? Wondering if it would work for nursing…
Ooooh! They do!!
Really cute! Love the booties with the dress.
xo. Cheers. 🙂
Lovely dress and looks great on you. The photos are beautiful.
I love dresses, but the thigh rub is real. Any suggestions for wearing down below underneath?
Jockey makes a great slip short that I wear with all my dresses and skirts in the summer.
Also provides coverage if you have little ones who like to lift your skirt in public, lol.
OMG YES! this is the most helpful question (thank you, Cvernonmusic) and most helpful answer (Thanks Veve).. brb, running to purchase Jockey slip shorts. BAM!
Thank you for the tip!
My third baby was born a few months after your baby….I remember seeing him on Instagram when he was born….he’s so big now. Reminds me how big mine is too. They grow up too fast…..
